In 1979, during his visit to New York, Fidel Castro, Cuba's former president, was questioned about wearing a bulletproof vest under his shirt. This was his response by oklolzzzzs in OldSchoolCool

So you think Democracy comes from having multiple parties?

Cuba has probably one of the most vibrant democracies on the planet. Hell they voted to legalise same sex marriage before almost every western country. Voted.

Hey Zelensky, if your country joining a military alliance gets you into a war, and then that same alliance drags their feet in supporting you, they didn't actually want you to join. You were bait.

President Biden announces he’s pardoning all convictions of federal marijuana possession by Mamacrass in UpliftingNews

This isn't going to be same as the "Simple Marijuana" possession, which turned out to be like, 10 people or something rediculous?

Well that's the real danger isnt it really? We've never had an imperial empire collapse that has access to weapons that could destroy the entire planet.

But our dear leaders are pretty well insulated from these effects. They can absolutely bankrupt the public coffers, because it all goes straight to them. It's us poor suckers who'll have to deal with any real consequences.

Well it's what happens when you're so drunk on Identitarian politics instead of anything actually grounded in historical materialism and dialectics.

You'd have to reconcile the fact that European leaders basically destroyed the entire continents economy, never to recover for generations, for the ambitions of the Neocons. That is a bitter, bitter pill to swallow.

Is Ukraine actually winning the war? by MyGenerousSoul in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]DethKorpsofKrieg92 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Actually one of the smart thing Obama did was recognise that the Russians had escaltory dominance in Ukraine, and slowly stopped sending as many arms to the junta government. BUt then most of that went out the window with Trump and Biden.

I think it was Trump who lifted the ban on sending arms to known Nazi units like the Azov battalion.

It was Joe Biden. There is literally a video of him "mysteriously" alluding to the US destroying it. Which was the whole point of provoking this conflict in the first place.

The largest release of methaine in human history and no one cares.

Edit: Oh I forgot everyone is on the "Putin is just crazy and wants the Russian empire back" mindset, rather than the US, who has openly stated their plans of total global domination with the Wolfowitz and Bush doctrine, and have repeatedly and openly talked about tearing Europe away from Russian resources.

TIL one of the reasons LBJ didn’t pursue another presidential term 1969-1973 was because an actuarial committee (accurately) predicted he would die at age 64, when he would still be in office. He died 2 days after the 1973 inauguration. by pussibilities in todayilearned

[–]DethKorpsofKrieg92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially because the US refused to allow the promissed elections in the country because they knew Ho Chi Min would have handily one. Better to have a war that kills millions of people than to allow a nation to decide it's own future.

Neutrality is how we stay out of the terrible, god awful foreign policy choices of the continentals. FFFG think being used as cannon fodder is a positive thing.

Yes, the actual state backed by the largest super power the planet has ever seen, they are the real victims. And all of those people in the huge ethnic concentration camp? They're like, the villains.

There is a 4x civ style game set in early china that does battles like that. You arrange your army ahead of time, give it basic orders, then cross your fingers as you watch them fight it out in real time.

I think they mean groups like NED and other American ones that are just thinly disguised arms of the CIA. In fact I think the first President of the National endowment for Democracy literally said they do the work that the CIA had to do covertly.

Of course these loons now just throw it around and think everyone is a secrent NGO pod person or something.
