Hard to imagine a good reason for the major malfunction with the G7. Not content with dismantling Obama’s legacy, he is going after that of every postwar president?
We are in deep crap I think. Today’s GOP would not vote to impeach in Donnie invited Russia to annex the US. Pain ahead, folks.
Siding with our Democrat Gubernatorial candidate here in CA? Not possible. Once he finds out about his support for marijuana, the second wall around CA will be built.
Putin’s Russia is doing to us what America usually does to Central and South America. Meddle in elections, insert intelligence-backed “assets”, corrupt the government, turn factions against each other, and ultimately destabilize the political environment, thereby creating conditions favorable for some sort of unrest.
You’re claiming that anything the US has (covertly) done in Central and South America was for the purpose of creating unrest?
Jeez. You’ve got to stop being so transparently Putin’s mouthpiece, dude. Of course the US wasn’t interested in creating unrest—the US was interested in creating stable governments that would be cooperative with US aims and goals.
Yes, but one good way of installing a stable government that supports your goals is to destabilize the current non-supportive one, and hope that the ensuing coup puts in your guys. For instance, Chile.
I hadn’t thought about that interpretation. I thought it meant that if we foolishly insist on putting America first, in a world in which the global economy and multi-country treaties are becoming more and more important, we’ll end up being all by ourselves, and then we’ll end up in last place.
Cassius Clay? That’s an odd lefty site if they insist on using Muhammad Ali’s former name. As noted by other posters, also, the man’s dead. As noted by the Supreme Court of the United States of America, there is no conviction to be pardoned for.
Do not try to make sense of President PantsOnHead’s urps and hiccups as “policies.” Why? Because:
He. Thrives. On. Chaos.
He has said so himself. He is a contrarian and loves to create divisiveness and then pit the newly created sides against each other. To what end? Who the fuck knows? So he will be the King of the Mountain or some such bullshit. He does not believe in cooperation or compromise. He is the guy who would yell “FIRE!” in a crowded theater just because he can (and probably rob the box office while everyone is running around screaming).
Also keep in mind that he has no friends in his life. I’m guessing he sees a friend as someone who gets close to you so they can betray or use you later. He has no friends, so why should the USA have “friends” among the nations? He doesn’t believe in friendship or loyalty except loyalty to HIM (which is not reciprocated).
His actions WRT G7 are perfectly congruent with these ideas.
Shitgibbon has very little resemblance to Allende. He seems more like Reza Pahlavi to me. In which case, Vlad fucked up really bad and his people are going to pay for it. Eventually, at least.
