    Typical lib selective memory. Ukraine has been attempting drone swarms into Moscow targeting civilians for half a year at least, just recently struck at Putin’s houses to attempt a decapitation strike.

    Oreshnik is a good reminder that if they really wanna throw away conventions of war, they don’t have a single way to intercept what would come back to them. Even then, the targets were completely legitimate and civilian casualties minimal (despite Ukraine regularly setting up bases in civilian centers, which is a flagrant war crime)

    Regarding your edit: Obama was the president of the most racist country on earth ffs. There were plenty of Jewish SS members. Y’all have had it explained to you for ages and you turn around and say it again verbatim next time because you’re not interested in learning, you’re just cheering for your team and it makes me not at all surprised that y’all choose the guys in Nazi garb with Nazi insignias saying they’re going to do Nazi stuff first chance they get.








  • I do listen to Soberanía, and Ive been a sympathizer of morena, but those dudes are at CDMX which is a huge city but not really representative of smaller cities away from central Mexico, and local corruption is way outside their scope. The level of embezzlement I see at the local level has been subtler than in previous decades, yes, but it’s still been rather obvious. I’ve family working for government contractors and there’s still ridiculous overcharging (and sometimes refusal to pay backed by organized crime violence) in my state and municipality, both of which are morena and both of which have a mayor/governor who was previously PRI. Not only that, the mayor used to work closely with a former state attorney who used to force people to give up their properties under threat of death for them or their family.

    Either cynics are right and this is just a rebranded return to the early era PRI, or the party leadership is full of incompetent fucks who can’t see an opportunist a mile away. There seems to be no party discipline away from the federal level.

    I’m a Mexican who’s lived in Mexico my entire life, I’m not interested in the US doing anything but fucking off and dying. But this administration has been working hard to lose whatever good will AMLO had fostered by endlessly capitulating, saying one thing and doing the other, not to mention how much they drag their feet with the most basic-ass campaign promises they’ve made. They have no fucking excuses now, they have the house, the Senate, the presidency and the fucking courts and they’re twiddling their fucking thumbs on anything except what the US asks for.






  • What’s controversial is that people are assuming he’s talking about the left when he’s kind of talking about the US at large as far as I can tell (and this is still a largely English language platform). Not that BE ain’t insufferable, a hot take merchant and needlessly confrontational at times but he ain’t wrong. If this hadn’t happened libs would still be arguing that he should have asked for congressional approval.
