Comments by "Sergei" (@sergeikhripun) on "Marine Dakota Meyer Details What War is Really Like | Joe Rogan" video.

9/11 was BS and the US had no business being neither in Afghanistan nor in Iraq. “America is a beacon of hope across the world!?” Where? Where is America beacon of hope? Find me that country! Saddam Hussein is more popular now that he is dead than he was alive and the CIA brought him to power. Donald Rumsfeld gave him nerve gas to use against Iranians in Iraq/Iraq war during the 80s. And Trump just killed Soulemani and Iraqi Shia militia leader who were fighting ISIS. After that Iraq told the US to GTFO but they are still there. WTF is the US still doing in Iraq? Beacon of hope my ass!

@that1guy899 Talkign about war on drugs. The US has the biggest prison population - bigger than China's and China has 1 billion people population. In order to fight drug cartels, you need to legalize all the drugs - all of them including heroin and meth, etc. It worked in Portugal. It's the same thing with alcohol during Prohibition, once the alcohol became legal, the problem with mafia dealing alcohol was over with. That would never happen in the US now. The US has private prisons that have perverse incentive to have more clients especially black and brown clients to be used as slave labor for corporations. Biden who runs for president voted to have bigger punishment to the drug dealers who sell crack than cocaine because mostly black people use crack and white people use cocaine when his own son is a crackhead. Neither Biden nor Trump would not even legalize pot federally.

@that1guy899 It's happening anymore. Immigration from Mexico was net zero before Trump and WTF would anybody come to the US when you will have 40% unemployment, no healthcare, no UBI and you just gave the richest people in the country $4.2 trillion to buy out all the distressed companies and the mortgages at a fire-sale price. Home owners got f#cked over 2x: under Obama in 2008 and under Trump in a few months. What do you think will happen in 6 month from now to the mortgages when people don't have an income and no help from government? None of these is happening in other countries. Venezuela gives all he citizens free rent right now and you give the richest people $4.2 trillion. If the US is under quarantine for 6 months, you have a revolution. Talk to me again about the"beacon of hope" then.

@that1guy899 Joe Rogan calls himself an idiot because he doesn't understand politics. He always brings these military people who keep saying this nonsense about "beacon of freedom" and some such garbage because if they really told themselves the truth of what they did during these wars - they would just blow their brains out and a lot of them do. It's cognitive dissonance - they have to lie to themselves. They can't admit that they were just cogs in the evil machine and were sent to these pointless wars as mercs to kill innocent people to make profit for corporations so they have to lie to themselves. And once they are all washed up the evil machine has no use for them - they wind up as junkies, homeless or commit suicide. Pentagon had a huge problem recruiting soldiers because everybody knows now that these wars are all BS. The only way they could get more recruits is because of student debt. So student debt will never be resolved. It's about $1.2 trillion dollars and in March during beginning of Covd19 crisis when the stock market was tanking the Fed was pumping $1 trillion a day to stop the market crash.

@Dennis-sq2nm BTW, I am not a liberal - I am a democratic socialist. They are very different - not that it matters to you or you can tell the difference anyway. So WTF are you doing in the Middle East? WTF invited you there? Al-Qaeda was created by the CIA when they armed trained and funded Mujaheddin to drive the Soviets out of Afghanistan and ISIS was created by the CIA, the Gulf States, Israel and Turkey to overthrow Assad in Syria. It's called covert operation Timber Sycamore, look it up. When Obama was president(I don't even know if he is a liberal, he is just a corporate sellout) he was president he was talking about freedom, democracy, puppies and rainbows and when Trump became president he admitted that the US has troops in Syria to jack their oil. LOL! Trump doesn't even bother pretending, he appointed Exxon guy in charge of the State Department. It's like mafia: "We will steal your sh#it because we have bigger guns. Are you really going to mess with us?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayi34PYpDCY

@Dennis-sq2nm Wisdom? What wisdom? What's the evidence of that? You don't have a clue in the world. You're eager to parrot every single neocon talking point thrown at you on mainstream media. I bet you can't even find Syria, Libya, Ukraine on the map. It's hard not to play a stereotype but:" All you libs, with all your knowledge and grammar and spelling. I only care about feeling in my stomach after I hear a patriotic speech". LOL!

@whiskyweasal89 Well, you can actually look at Russia/Soviet Union. I know you will be laughing at me but lets just examine history over a very long period of time. I am not saying that Russia didn't have a share of crazy dictators. You have to go back to 13th century when Russia defeated Mongols and protected European countries from Mongol invasion. Then in 18th century Russia stopped Napoleon from conquering all Europe. Before WW2 there were a lot of Russians fighting against Nazis in Spanish Civil War, they were part of the International Brigades. During WWII Russia lost 27 million people and liberated half of Europe from Nazis. Then during Soviets tried to protect the government of Afghanistan against Mujaheddin that were trained, armed and funded by the CIA. Let's for a second imagine if Mujaheddin were defeated, that would mean that neither Taliban nor Al-Qaeda would have come to existence. Bin Laden was also a Mujaheddin. 9/11 official story is complete BS but if the government that was backed by Russia stayed after Soviets had left, then 9/11 would not have happened according to official story, right? So right now the US has been bombing for the last 19 years the same people who the CIA armed back in the 1980s. Is that smart? And if you listen to MSM they all talk about "Russian aggression." What they actually mean is Ukraine and Syria. I already talked about Ukraine but Russia was invited by the Syrian government that is recognized by the UN to help them. Who does Russia actually bomb in Syria? Russia bombs "rebels" who are ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Jaish Al-Islam, Tehrir Al-Sham in other words - terrorists. Russia is actually very consistent: they killed mujaheddin who were jihadists in Afghanistan and they kill salafi jihadists in Syria. Russia defeated Nazis in WWIII and now Russian separatists regions like Luhansk and Donetsk are fighting against Ukrainian Neo-Nazis. Look up Azov Neo Nazi battalion in Ukraine - they wear Nazi insignia on their uniforms. Remember what Bush said that Americans will be treated as liberators Iraq, it's actually Russians who are treated as liberators. I am sure you can find the footage of Syrian Arab Army and Russians liberating Syrian cities. It's not really that hard to win hearts and minds, the first thing Russians do after they liberated the city from terrorists is they give everybody food and medicine. It doesn't even cost a lot of money. Every missile that US makes costs over $1 million, they wasted $1.5 trillion on F35 that still doesn't fly. Food and medicine are so much cheaper by comparison. Russian military budge is about $50 billion compared to US $740 billion plus NATO's military budges is another $300 billion. You can actually find the footage, you can see Syrian kids who want to take selfies with Russian soldiers. It's not really that complicated about winning hearts and minds, they are happy they liberated them and they don't steal their sh#t. Would any person in the Middle East in their right mind want to take selfie with American soldiers after the US murdered 1 million Iraqis? Maybe only Saudis and Israelis. And also Russians never call the countries they liberated "sh#thole countries." So there you go! If you have a different country in mind, let me know. I would be curious to find out.

@that1guy899 If you want to have a simple answer to this question. It's like one of comedians said that he lives in the US becasue he is afraid to live in any other countries because the US can give them "freedom." Mexico and South America were devastated under US regime changes, war on drugs that created drug cartels and millions of refugees.

@that1guy899 What other country in the world bombs 8 countries illegally? It's because of the US the Doomsday clock is like 2 seconds to midnight. G.W. Bush got out of ABM treaty with Russia in early 2000s because something something terrorism. Trump made a speech during state of union address that he was going to get out of INF treaty with Russia and all idiot Democrats who said that Trump could not be trusted with nuclear codes applauded him even though her is supposed to be Putin's bitch. I am sure that's exactly what Putin wanted from Trump - to get out of nuclear agreement with Russia. Trump got out of nuclear agreement with Iran which was complete BS because Iran followed the conditions of the agreement after the US withdrew. And now there's only 1 remaining nuclear agreement with Russia - star treaty as far as I remember and it's about to expire too. And lets remember the US is the only country that used nukes on Japan.

@Dennis-sq2nm Not true. Turkey accepted 3 million Syrian refugees after the US funded, trained and armed Salafi JIhanists to overthrow Assad in Syria. Europe was overflown by refugees from Syria and Africa after the US destroyed Libya. And under Trump only 400 Syrian refugees were accepted by the US as far as I remember. The main questions is why is there so many refugees? Maybe because the US destroyed and did military coups in all those countries in the middle east and Latin America and because of drug war that only benefits prison industrial complex. The immigration from Mexico is net zero right now if you ever bothered to check. Stop watching Fox News, buddy.

@Dennis-sq2nm The UN rapporteur said US sanctions killed 50k Venezuelans and then the US turns around and says look at "dictator" Maduro and his socialist country, he killed 50k people, we definitely need to give them some of the sweet, sweet "freedom" so that Venezuela could be the next Libya. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/venezuela-sanctions-us-excess-death-toll-economy-oil-trump-maduro-juan-guaido-jeffrey-sachs-a8888516.html

@Dennis-sq2nm What countries does the US give aid to? Name those countries. I know US gives $38 billion to Israel, so they can support "rebels" in Syria (ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Al-Nusra, Jaish Al-Islam, Tehrir Al-Sham) and kill unarmed Palestinian protesters with explosive butterfly bullets that are illegal anywhere else in the word while occupy their land illegally. The US supports 73% dictatorships in the world. WTF asked you to support 73% of world dictatorships? I thought it was supposed to be about the US being "beacon of freedom" in world. https://truthout.org/articles/us-provides-military-assistance-to-73-percent-of-world-s-dictatorships/

@whiskyweasal89 I actually wrote " the US murdered 1 million Iraqis." That also implicates the politicians who voted for the war and the people who voted for those politicians - not just soldiers. So what do you object here? You don't like the word "murder." How else would you describe it? Do you want to say the US killed 1 million Iraqis with kindness? Did the US bomb them with good Christian bombs that avoid women and children and just hugs people to death? LOL! I don't understands what is so special about the US constitution. Did Jesus give the US constitution? The US has the biggest prison population, the US is about 5% of world population but it has 22% of world prison population - bigger than China's and China has 1 billion population. So "land of the free and home of the brave" when you have more prisoners than anywhere in the world? And Americans DGAF about the constitution. There's a torture facility in Guantanamo Bay that is still open and where people are still being tortured. Torture is a violation of US constitution(cruel and unusual punishment), so does anybody care about that? John Kiriakou blew the whistle on torture and he is the only person went to jail because of that. Snowden revealed NSA surveillance which is violation of 4th Amendment(unreasonable search and seizure) and all those people in power call him a "traitor." And James Clapper who lied about NSA surveillance to the congress is not in jail. Julian Assange is in jail right now because he revealed war crimes in Iraq which is a violation of 1st Amendment(freedom of speech)Chelsea manning is in jail because of collateral damage video but the soldiers who were killing civilians right and left are not. And they will kill Assange, what they do to him right now is torture. George W. Bush passed Authorization for Use of Military Force after 9/11 that allows president to start a war without congressional approval. Democrats and Republicans just passed Patriot Act(what an Orwellian name!) re-authorization that allows American citizens to be spied on. Trump just sent federal goons in masks and unmarked vehicles Seattle, Chicago and Portland to arrest protesters. So what are you telling me about the US constitution for? Americans never GAF about that. Russia's history of civil rights abuses? LOL! How about US civil rights abuses? Ever heard of COINTELPRO, political assassinations of MLK, Malcolm X, JFK, Bobbie Kennedy, Fred Hampton etc.How about Black Lives Matter movement? Right now every year cops kill about 1k unarmed black people. Do you have anything similar to that in Russia? I can just imagine if something similar to George Floyd protests were happening in Venezuela, Iran, Hong Kong or Syria, the US would already be invading those countries to give some of that "freedom and democracy." Civil rights abuses and war crimes only happen when other countries do it, right? I never said Russia is fantastic. You asked me what country is beacon of hope, I said it was Russia. Russia lost 27 million in WW2 to liberate Europe. If you can tell me any other country that came to anything close to that - be my guest.Tell me who it is I would really like to know. And people love Russians in the Middle East - they actually treat them as liberators.You have zero understanding of history or what's really going on right now, it sounds like all you know comes either from stupid Hollywood movies or Fox News. Here's a video that will blow your mind(or will it? LOL!) 7 countries in 5 years: Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing off Iran. And what happened to freedom and democracy and civil rights here? Do most of Americans even aware of this? Do they even care about that? Does the media care about it? Beacon of hope my ass! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG2aYzdfbGg&t=629s

@whiskyweasal89 What term should I use then? Did the US tickle 1M Iraqis to death? Or did they smother them with kindness? What is the proper term that you would be happy with? Cops kill about 1K unarmed black people in the US. If you care about civil rights so much, how many unarmed people are killed in Russia, Iran, North Korea, China? And who will do any police reform in the US? Biden already said he would not only defund the police, he would give them even more funding and Trump would not do it either. Biden with Bill Cliniton wrote tough on crime bill that put hundreds of thousands of black and brown people in jail because they are in the pocket of Prison Industrial Complex. Biden wrote the law that put tougher sentences on crack users than cocaine users because crack is cheaper and mostly used by the poor people and minorities while his son is a crackhead. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/protests-spread-over-police-shootings-police-promised-reforms-every-year-they-still-shoot-nearly-1000-people/2020/06/08/5c204f0c-a67c-11ea-b473-04905b1af82b_story.html

@whiskyweasal89 George Galloway had a podcast on RT which is considered "Russian propaganda network" where he said that the US has put sanctions on 70 entities around the world. Sanctions actually kill people, 50k people were killed by the US sanctions in Venezuela. Right now Trump put sanctions on Iran in the middle of COVID pandemic because he cares so much about Iranian people. So the US is at war with 2 billion people in the world which accounts for 25% of world population which makes total sense: China has 1,4 billion population, Russia 100M, Iran 80M, Syria 30M and then Venezuela and so on. My mama told me that if you have a problem with only 1 person - that person could just be an asshole but if you have a problem with 50 people - the problem could be you. Figure that one out!

@whiskyweasal89 "Iraqis were killed, but neither American politicians nor soldiers murdered anyone." Oh, so did 1M Iraqis die of a f#cking flue? So they were killed because of a "mistake." So it was an oppsie? How do you kill 1M million people by "mistake?" It sounds like it would requires a lot of effort. They made "mistake" like forgetting to put a stamp on the envelope? That kind of a thing? So you have a mass war crime but no perpetrator. Haw odd! This is how laughable it is! You have to do major league mental gymnastics to justify war crimes. And it was not "a mistake." Nancy Pelosi had a CNN town-hall when Democrats tried to impeach Trump over the Ukraine call and a person from the audience asked her a very simple and logical question:"Why are you impeaching Trump over the call Ukraine but not Bush over the Iraq War?" And her answer is just gibberish, it's incomprehensible because she can't answer that question without revealing how corrupt she is. She is speaker of the house and she can barely speak English. She made a stunning remark though, she said SHE KNEW GEORGE BUSH LIED ABOUT THE IRAQ WAR. If media ever did their job that would be played 24/7 everywhere but that didn't happen because the job of mainstream media is to push corporate pro war propaganda and manufacture consent. It wasn't some Joe Blow, it was Nancy Pelosi who was the speaker of the house under Bush and she is the speaker of the house now (boy, how things change!) who is the 4th most powerful politicians in the country who said she knew Bush was lying. She didn't say Bush was making a mistake, she said Bush was lying and she went along with him ANYWAY. Why? Because they are all complicit. Nancy Pelosi knew Bush did torture and she didn't do anything about it anyway. Torture is a violation of US constitution. You talked about how great the US constitution is and it was given to the US by Jesus himself. So Nancy Pelosi DGAF about the constitution and neither do you. 40% of Democrats voted for the Iraq War but they still could stop the war if they didn't give any funding/budget for the war but the Democrats gave Bush anyway. It wasn't a "mistake." If Pelosi knew Bush was lying, why didn't she say so? It's because they are all complicit. It means they are all evil psychopaths. They DGAF if 1M Iraqis were killed or 10M. The only thing they don't like about amount of people being killed that it creates negative publicity -otherwise they couldn't give a bigger F about it. And if you keep defending these psychopaths it says a lot about you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuKk1s1AXss&t=177s

@whiskyweasal89 So all those millions of people in the streets during George Floyd protest is just an optical illusion? He was't murdered by the cops? What happened to Filando Chastile, Mike Brown, Brianna Taylor and so on? What is your source of information for how many unarmed black people cops murder every year? What do you think mainstream media do if cases like that happened in Russia, Iran, Venezuela or Hong Kong? We already know the answer - they would be playing that 24/7 and telling that the US needs to give those countries some of that "freedom."

@whiskyweasal89 "Intelligence agencies, both foreign and domestic." Who are you talking about? Russia and Iran were against the Iraq War. Are you talking about them? Or are you talking about CIA, MI6 and Mossad and the rest of them who are part of the same NATO cabal? You mean the same professional lairs who lie about everything all the time. "Intelligence" agencies. LOL! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPt-zXn05ac

@whiskyweasal89 "Intelligence" agencies? LOL! Are you talking about the same "intelligence" agencies who sold crack/cocaine to Bloods and Crips in Central L.A. that sparked crack epidemic in the middle of the war on drugs to fund Contra death squads in Nicaragua in Iran-Contra scandal? The same people who created Al-Qaeda, ISIS and recruited Klaus Barbie. Yeah, those guys are super trustworthy. I would just imagine who upset you would be if the similar thing happened in other countries like Russia, Iran, Syria. All those countries that desperately need "freedom." LOL! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoPgquEWRww&t=202s

@whiskyweasal89 Saddam Hussein had WMD, the US gave it to him. Donald Rumsfeld came to Iraq in 1980s to give Saddam Hussein mustard gas that he used on Iranians during Iran-Iraq War and also on Kurds. It was also the CIA who brought Saddam Hussein to power in a military coup because the guy before him nationalized Iraqi oil - the same thing as in Iran. All you do is repeat CIA talking points. https://foreignpolicy.com/2013/08/26/exclusive-cia-files-prove-america-helped-saddam-as-he-gassed-iran/
