    After this I don’t think Trump will accept loosing the house. I think we will see him trying to become a dictator shell this year. Hell… US citizens, this might be your last chance.

    I watched Trump’s advisor tell the BBC that Venezuela is not like Iraq because it’s homogenous and surrounded by democracies.

    They’re massively overconfident. This could go downhill very badly. Rebels could damage the pipelines and sabotage the oil industry, requiring the US to put troops on the ground.

        Brother we gonna have to come to terms with it. Canada’s current conservative government cuts social welfare and has a province trying to run rogue to join the pedophile nazi terrorist state.

        You don’t suckle at american teet like that without ingesting the poison.

        Indigenuous populations, head taxes, and american brain rot. It’s not nearly as bad as america, but not being the worst doesn’t make you good.

        Wikipedia covers war criminals in Canada decently.

        Canada made it easier for Nazis to immigrate than for Jewish refugees after WWII due to their anti-communist policies. Since then, the government has largely refused to release information about their immigration policies surrounding former Nazis as well as the list of immigrants found to be former Nazi party members.

        The controversy surrounding parliament giving a standing ovation to a former Waffen SS member for his service “fighting the Russians” brought much of this to mainstream discourse. Who was fighting the Russians during WWII? The Nazis. If a country invited a bunch of Nazis to their nation, has a long history of antisemitism that contributed to deaths in the Holocaust, and are still celebrating and protecting Nazi war criminals…I think its fair to call them a Nazi cesspool. If they don’t want to be characterized this way, they should probably to actions to prove they aren’t, such as releasing the names of the known war criminals and extradite them for trial.

        You can find plenty of news articles on these topics from a couple years ago.

    Dear American libs: Think about what you’ve been saying about Russians and please start saying all of those about yourselves. Remember how little you were willing to distinguish between the people and the government and I better not see you give any more leeway to your own country.

    I don’t want to hear any “but i don’t support it” bullshit out of you after the vitriol you spewed about the Russian ethnicity and culture using the Ukraine war as your cover while getting all high and mighty about not being racist. You deserve as much empathy and sympathy as you give to others.

    And don’t forget to carry seeds in your pockets so useful things grow out of you when you die :)
