  1. Sometimes it’s no longer a secret and North Korea finds out. So it’s ok to put it on tv
    880
  2. This attack benefits Somalia too, now its leaders, troubled as they are, will not have to worry as much about ISIS in their country.
    397
  3. Lots of Americans need to watch this too.
    329
  4. Germany be like “stop blowing up Czechia also please keep selling us your oil”
    237
  5. That is why nobody cares about your opinions (sorry to be rude, but it’s true). You know nothing about the One China Policy or Cross Strait Relations. Refusing to acknowledge Taiwan as a country is mutually agreed upon by most of the world. If the US reversed it, there could be unforeseen and deadly repercussions. The time to recognize Taiwan is not now. US would rather keep the status quo where Taiwan is independent and there’s no war, or recognize Taiwan when it’s viable to do so, meaning later in time when the threat from China has passed. Perhaps when a moderate comes to power replacing Xi Jinping.

  6. From a former US President and leader of the Free World, this is terrifying.
    128
  7.  @twoplus7647  we don’t need equal coverage from KKK, Neo-Nazis, or the Taliban. They are bad and there’s nothing good about them
    121
  8.  @Crazylalalalala the horror of what? Taking prisoners?
    88
  9. Stop protesting violently. Terrorists and hooligans acting violently should be dealt with.
    63
  10. Republican counties. This is why Democrats are right, and there needs to be more taxes for prevention, more for healthcare, and why life in the rural area is culturally destitute.
    52
  11. This only applies to Russians and the Russian government. I’m sure the Ukrainian government and people would both be happier without a war
    38
  12. However bad Stalin and Mao were, Hitler was not as you say, looking good by comparison. They are all deplorable in their own ways
    36
  13.  @justice2375 Russia should be treated like Iraq and Libya. The world would be better off if it didn’t exist as it does now.
    35
  14. Israel didn’t allow it to happen. Israel made mistakes. It underestimated Hamas’s resolve and capabilities.
    32
  15. They should get out of the way and stop enabling Hezbollah or Hamas with their presence. If the military asks them to leave, they should do the right thing and leave
    32
  16. Hamas started the war, and gets brownie points from kids online for “temporarily” stopping it. Gen Z is doomed
    32
  17. Vaping is bad but not as bad as cigarettes.
    31
  18.  @DerekDAngel not everyone who’s inspired by Tate or resonates with his arguments is a “fan”. He’s made some good points about men’s issues that have been validated by later mental health experts. For example, the so called “Loneliness Epidemic”, it mostly affects men, and most men under 30 are single. He brought attention to this neglected and unknown issue plaguing young men, who are lonely and single, not to mention placing our countries on the verge of demographic collapse.
    31
  19. A ceasefire that allows Palestine to keep fighting forces intact is not a ceasefire
    30
  20. Lies. The whole division is caused by Republicans’ games since the Obama era. Democrats have reached out multiple times to work with Republicans since 2008. Republicans rebuffed the Democrats at every turn. In Congress they spent their time and energy blocking Obama’s and Democrats’ agenda, purely out of spite and to portray them as ineffective. They promoted bogus conspiracy theories like Birtherism and Benghazi. They blamed Obama for mishandling the Ebola Crisis despite it barely affecting the US at all. They blamed Obama and Sec. of State Hillary Clinton for the attack on Benghazi, despite multiple attacks on embassies/consulates during the Bush years, all without any GOP slandering.
    29
  21. Congress gives billions of dollars each year in subsidies to big oil, to big farmers, people who don’t deserve or need the money. So why is it bad when the President or other Democrats want to help Americans out one time?
    29
  22. US sanctions have no bearing on agriculture. Venezuelans are starving because their own leaders have made it uneconomic to make food.
    28
  23. Israel should just end the conflict decisively instead of holding back
    28
  24. False, Norway does not have a maximum sentence of 21 years. What they have is a guaranteed parole hearing every 21 years. He will not necessarily get out after 21 years, he will have a hearing, and likely will not get out until he is either dead, senile, or rehabilitated.
    28
  25.  @Nope991  British set aside Jordan for Arabs, what’s the big deal?
    27
  26. @Nobodyyouknow-u8w because Israel is fighting a war for moral reasons and Hezbollah is not. Israel is justified to go after hostile forces and the UN is not justified to disrupt that.
    26
  27. Andrew Tate is not the product of young male discontent. He has just given a voice to the frustrations that millions of young men have been feeling for years.
    26
  28. Also, according to international law, starting wars is illegal. Also Israel is allowed to hit human shields according to the Geneva Conventions
    25
  29. It is time to reinvade Afghanistan and destroy the Taliban
    25
  30. The dictators do not care about being caught red handed. They don’t care about embarrassment or bad press. They act with impunity from the West as the West is too often toothless
    24
  31. Selfish and horrible regime
    23
  32. Resist CCP imperialists
    23
  33. Putin is the one who started the conflict so I doubt Russia is interested in peace so long as Putin is in charge
    23
  34.  @watchvidjedi  why do you think Biden, an accomplished and educated Senator, lawyer, Vice-President, and now President, is comparable to Trump, who’s never held public office and was openly corrupt
    22
  35. Russia is a poor and corrupt regime, US should not fear or respect a hostile and murderous dictator
    22
  36. Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip, trying to set a precedent for Israel withdrawing from the West Bank later. We see how that turned out. Immediately after leaving, the Palestinians in Gaza threw out the PA, and elected Hamas, who committed terrorism on Israel. In 2007, Israel, Egypt, and the PA in the West Bank responded with a blockade on the West Bank.
    22
  37. High pressure from cold weather prevents air from rising, meaning no wind and no circulation. Pollution sits around when pressure is high.
    22
  38.  @hunter-um9tv  not all wanted the Taliban, and those who wanted them are equally guilty
    21
  39. No way. Israel voluntarily left Gaza Strip in 2005. And wanted to live in peace, but Hamas was elected in 2006, and did terrorism, prompting the blockade and sanctions. Secondly, Gaza Strip is not important to Israel. Israel would be thrilled if the Gazans there either quit fighting or became someone else’s problem, like say Egypt’s. Thirdly, if Israel wanted to take Gaza Strip it wouldn’t wait for this. Gaza attacked Israel multiple times, including in the past few years. There is nothing to suggest Israel wanted the attack on October 7th 2023 to occur, as a pretext or false flag.
    21
  40.  @qayoomsediq2013  Russia under Putin is the one who started the conflict and war, not the US
    21
  41. That’s not true. The US tried and gave South Vietnam so much, decades of help, trillions of USD, and sacrificing thousands of American lives. It’s more than any nation has ever given. You treat that like it’s nothing. It was everything
    21
  42.  @doloresumbridge2531  you are uneducated
    20
  43. We saw horrible lying women in the Trump Administration who allowed hundreds of thousands of Americans to die from Covid-19, gun violence, antivax sentiments, etc.
    20
  44. Well that’s what happens in Jenin, when terrorists hide among civilians, or civilians harbor them. People get hurt. Reminds me of Viet Cong in South Vietnam.
    19
  45. Obama wasn’t retarded like Trump is
    19
  46. I’m not sure there’s anything illegal about what she did, thought it is nefarious and despicable. I read on a BBC article that they wanted to get her deported from the UK.
    18
  47. Russia is not a powerhouse. Russia is a corrupt and weak nation.
    18
  48.  @al28854  awfully pessimistic lol
    18
  49. War is never the answer? Tell that to dictatorships like China which start all the wars in modern history.
    17
  50. @Nobodyyouknow-u8w how is it terrorism to ask non-combatants to clear the war zone so the enemy can be defeated?
    17
  51. China is a regime and it’s good US is focusing effort on downing China
    17
  52. The US thought that if the voting public was naive enough to elect a strong man, then the Electors would disregard their votes and vote for another, better candidate. However nowadays the Electors never go against the will of the people, and in some states they are bound by law to vote according the voters. The position is now antiquated
    17
  53. Lipton Green Tea and yet it is the Palestinians who instigate the violence with rocket attacks, murders, knife attacks, and suicide bombings.
    16
  54. Toothpaste and toilet paper are still not free however
    16
  55.  @montisiddique8010 Gazans were never kicked out of their own house. Israel completely withdrew from the Gaza Strip way back in 2005. There was no occupation of the Gaza Strip at all, just Palestinian statehood. So what is their excuse for making war with Israel then? It can’t be that Israel stole their land.
    16
  56.  @dmc949  US didn’t start the conflict and is trying very hard to stop it. On what basis do you say that the US is bad?
    15
  57. They are radicalized and ignorant. Most Afghans hate the Taliban.
    15
  58. Israel didn’t start this fight. In 2007 When Hamas first came to power, they promised violence and hate and they delivered it. Israel took countermeasures, now Gazans are upset that those countermeasures are so effective.
    15
  59. Putin is a murderer. He’s killed thousands of people like you. No is forcing Putin to steal from the nation, to oppress dissidents, to start wars in innocent neighbors like Georgia and Ukraine. That’s all his initiative.
    15
  60.  @tmb0183  NATO is democratic and morally superior to Russia
    15
  61.  @CearaRed I believe other, European countries have mass media. Yet they also have tougher gun laws. So media seems to have no effect. Could there be a correlation with tough gun laws and lower murder rates?
    15
  62. Yes, no negotiation with terrorists
    15
  63. It is very sad that it is also a corrupt and cruel dictatorship that tortures millions of its own people, keeps billions more stifled under corrupt governance, and threatens millions of others in foreign nations, such as Taiwanese, Japanese, etc.
    14
  64.  @mido956  did you ever go to school? It was not Israel who started the three Arab-Israeli wars, it was PLO/PA and their hostile allies.
    14
  65. US didn’t fully betray the Kurds. US still operates and protects Iraqi Kurdistan. They are thankful that the US invaded Iraq and removed Saddam Hussein
    14
  66. WHO is a front for the CCP
    14
  67. If the US leaves Afghanistan then this could all be undone.
    14
  68. Why? Israel has a right to fight Palestine, they are 2 cruel regimes. The Palestinians in the West Bank have started 2 Intifadas against Israel, Palestinians launch rockets at Israel from within Gaza, and smuggle weapons in past customs. Terrorists like Hamas or Islamic Jihad hold the Gazan civilians as hostages and human shields, launching rockets from soft targets like schools or hospitals, and then daring Israel to strike back and kill Gazan civilians.
    13
  69. Trailer parks are a ripoff the lot fees are exorbitant and trap people in poverty
    13
  70. They never ran.
    13
  71. Richard Ellis I live in the US it’s pretty cool.
    13
  72. COVID-20 the sequel gets better
    13
  73. PUTIN FOR PRISON 2020
    13
  74. Relax...Iran won’t do shit. They’re weak. Provoking the US fully will get them buttfucked.
    13
  75. Republicans have become the party of conspiracy and hate since Obama became President
    13
  76. Stu Crossland did you know that RT is Russian propaganda? Considering that RT is the propaganda channel of an authoritarian regime, I believe RT is not trustworthy at all
    12
  77. Widespread? No, not widespread.
    12
  78. In the US 200,000 people are dead. I’ll take Australia’s way it works much better
    12
  79.  @marcuslawrence6733  Russia didn’t minimize civilians casualties in Ukraine. Stop telling lies
    12
  80. Are you uneducated? Afghanistan was invaded to destroy the Taliban and prevent more 9/11s.
    12
  81.  @RyzenShanks Ukraine is not winning, the war is not yet decided. A lot of work needs to be done to throw out the Russians from Eastern Ukraine and Crimea. As well, Russia must be so punished and defanged, that it cannot attempt this again, either in Ukraine or elsewhere like Georgia.
    12
  82.  @thegreatest3371  Israel didn’t start the war
    12
  83. US stayed in Afghanistan for 20 bloody years, if US offers even a little of that to Taiwan, it will be more than most countries are willing to give. Taiwan is also a more willing and capable partner than the Afghan government. The two nations are not comparable, and inferences on US policies for Taiwan cannot be drawn from Afghanistan.
    12
  84. I do sympathize with Pro-Life because protecting others is selfless, and there is some cutoff somewhere, even in abortion friendly nations like the UK, there are still limits past the First Trimester. So maybe we are/can be both Pro-Choice and Pro-Life
    12
  85.  @Gone_Gaming0  that’s not Biden’s fault, it’s a situation he inherited. You think the rates would be lower under Trump? On the contrary it was Trump who encouraged all this anti-mask nonsense. The Vanity Report even published an article with an interview from a whistleblower. The whistleblower said that Trump let the vaccine enter the US because he wanted liberal cities and states, which expectedly would be hardest hit, to suffer the virus and embarrass his Democratic rivals.
    12
  86.  @hmmmmm2634  US didn’t start the nightmare in Afghanistan. Taliban started the war and violence, and the US never created Taliban, US helped fund the Mujahideen, which is not the same as the Taliban in fact they are quite different.
    12
  87. Because of the US and Coalition, Afghans like Hamid Karzai were able to drive out the Taliban, the good outweighs the bad here. This is an isolated incident
    12
  88. Reena Heenan The news is simply doing its job and reporting the facts
    11
  89.  @elephantintheroom5678  Gazans are not entitled to be fed by their enemy while making war on their enemy. If Israelis were starving would pallies be giving them food?
    11
  90. This is a meaningless charade. It doesn’t matter, Sergei the Spymaster is not in danger. This meeting was unimportant
    11
  91. Wtf dude this is a sectarian Iranian Shiite. He has killed people and he is not a friend to all Iraqis. Kurds and Sunnis don’t like Iran regime
    11
  92.  @goenzoy so, you think Gaddafi’s Libya deserved to keep on living?
    11
  93. Funtime hz Iran isn’t a good nation. They don’t care for people like you. It has high corruption and poor human rights. Iran deserved it.
    11
  94.  @sm3675  immigration isn’t bad per se. US has lots of immigration and while cities are becoming gentrified like Canada, it’s being driven by rich people whether they’re rich immigrants, students from rich families, speculators, or wealthy professionals. The solution I feel is to modify zoning laws on a national scale, encourage more multifamily and smaller apartments to be built for affordable rents and mortgages
    11
  95. US is there because of 9/11 and to support the Afghan people and government against terrorism. So why shouldn’t the US be there?
    11
  96. When they do stuff like this, they lose the right to statehood
    11
  97.  @samsoumeih0341  it was Jordan who stole the homes in East Jerusalem back in 1950, then Israel defeated Jordan in the Six Day War and captured East Jerusalem from Jordanians. Don’t you think it’s only fair that the Israelis who used to live in East Jerusalem get their homes back?
    11
  98. What kinda logic is that? Firstly, anyone who wanted to get an abortion would claim the condom broke regardless. Secondly, why should it be ok in some cases and not ok in others? This is morally inconsistent.
    11
  99.  @idkatthispoint-s9s it is not about ego or being better, they are radicals. Their morality and understanding are so different from ours.
    11
  100. “Crying about how the EU cares about its members and not me”
    11
  101. Absolutely not. The US is still business as usual for most people. The protesters also aren’t doing anything close to overthrowing the government
    10
  102. @Rejected Alien it is the Taliban’s fault for being terrorists
    10
  103.  @capoislamort100  Israel needs its military to contain Palestinian aggression and defeat enemies like Hamas, PIJ, Lions’ Den, etc.
    10
  104. Does nobody have any sympathy for the illegal immigrants who just want to live better lives?
    10
  105. Funny thing is, most European countries are both pro life and pro-choice. In most European countries abortion is available on demand, but there are restrictions beyond the First Trimester, after 15 weeks or so. We can be both pro-life and pro-choice
    10
  106. They only stated the facts. Trump started the trade war, and then people suffered from it. 300,000 jobs lost. Amazing how he’s still popular
    10
  107. RainorXXX trade deficits aren’t bad. That’s the free market at work. American consumers don’t want to “Buy American”, they want the cheapest goods. Those come from China. Trump has decided to act socialist and stop the people from buying the goods they want. And he cost the nation 300,000 jobs
    10
  108. When have ANY feminists called for discrimination against men? Go ahead and show me
    10
  109. Poor people are so funny lol
    10
  110. Trump was mentally unstable and deranged. He took everything personally, firing Andrew McCabe specifically to deny him his pension, and launching insults at rivals. Biden is level headed and has decades of political and legal experience
    10
  111.  @brandonpazmino8349  You claim that Israel’s settlements are the reason why there’s conflict. But if that’s the case, how do you explain the Six Day War in 1967? When TransJordan/Palestinians had everything, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza Strip and then some, they had all the land that is currently disputed between Israel and Palestine. They STILL LAUNCHED A WAR OF AGGRESSION AGAINST ISRAEL. There’s no indication that if Israel ends all the West Bank settlements and hands over East Jerusalem there will be peace. It didn’t happen before, why now? On the contrary, for Israel to cede large amounts of territory would put the nation at risk for another war or intifada. Israel fought 3 major wars and endured two Intifadas. Why should Israel risk another of either?
    10
  112. US should stay in Afghanistan to help out, the mission isn’t over
    10
  113.  @christianandjesse7370  millions of men are frustrated, more than 60% of young men are single, and only 30% of women are. We’ve been in a male loneliness epidemic for years, but society either didn’t see it or didn’t care, indeed, attitudes like yours are dismissive and hostile towards it. That changed with Andrew Tate, and his short form videos which started going viral on TikTok and YouTube since 2022 or so. He was the first public figure to boldly claim that, despite generations of sexism against women, it’s now young men that are struggling in this dynamic, and women enjoy a lot of advantages and benefit of the doubt that men don’t get. He brought this issue into the mainstream. Now we’re talking about how young men and their pressures are unfairly been ignored by wider society.
    10
  114.  @Sh0rtsYT  explain how it’s Biden’s fault that a suicide bomber made his way through the perimeter. Should Biden have personally been on watch that day? Trump released 5000 Taliban prisoners in 2020 and made concessions to Afghanistan as per the rotten Doha Agreement in 2020. NOT BIDEN
    10
  115.  @senthinx  You make no sense. Israel is opportunistically attacking Gaza you say? Why didn’t Israel do that before Hamas attacked with rockets? Why would Israel wait for an excuse? Secondly, Gaza Strip is worthless to Israel, there is nothing there worth fighting over.
    10
  116. Yuri Kovalenko Putin assassinated opposition leaders in broad daylight.
    10
  117.  @RyzenShanks Ukraine is not easily winning. The war and threat is not over until Ukraine reclaims all of Russian held territory, if Russia keeps any land, it will be a success for Russia and sets a dangerous precedent.
    10
  118. A good guy with a gun strikes again!
    10
  119. That just means it would’ve gotten much worse without masks
    10
  120. Why would you watch RT? It’s Russian propaganda
    10
  121. Real Things BBC is independent journalism. It’s also run in a democracy, unlike Russia. So BBC is more credible than RT
    10
  122. Or…a new democratic government returns and the military entirely disbands
    10
  123.  @watchvidjedi  Biden seems capable to me. It’s a high charge to say that someone is senile or slow. Do you have proof that Biden is this way?
    9
  124. You guys really hate immigrants. You’re willing to spend your hard earned money on tax projects to keep them out? Instead of ending world hunger? Or literally anything else?
    9
  125.  @Mugairyuiai  so you’re saying the whole world should join her in renouncing war? Sounds good in theory but of course that is impossible. How do you propose Israel conduct itself in light of the multiple wars and Intifadas? Abandoning all military action would lead to ethnic cleansing, disenfranchisement, lynchings, and/or genocide.
    9
  126.  @Mugairyuiai  I’m not saying things are great now, but the simple fact is, peace should not be paid for with total surrender to hostile enemies. That is a recipe for disaster
    9
  127. wtf you talking about? Hawaii is being helped a lot
    9
  128. Unbelievable you support terrorism, hatred, and bigotry as long as they say buzzwords like “imperialism is bad”. You also support North Korea with that logic?
    9
  129.  @lks6248  in my opinion alcohol should also be banned in an ideal world. It is addictive, carcinogenic, it is psychoactive and leads to DUIs other reckless/criminal activities.
    9
  130. Putin is literally blowing up Europe and STILL the world is letting him get away with it.
    9
  131. Gameplay Videos sure...if he was an old white guy you’d assume he spoke English right?
    9
  132. Because it is taking measures to defend itself against a rogue enemy.
    9
  133. Gaddafi? He’s dead already
    9
  134. Yuri Kovalenko Boris Nemstov was a Russian politician who was gunned down in broad daylight in a hit. Putin tried to assassinate Alexander Litvinenko, in the UK
    9
  135. Taliban are cruel terrorists. They should be defeated, not coddled.
    9
  136. How is the US to blame? This is the fault of the Taliban first and foremost for existing and fighting a war of terror and hatred.
    8
  137. Lipton Green Tea well, they deserve it. When you name your streets after terrorists, encourage terrorist acts on civilians, and start multiple wars of aggression, then you deserve to have your lands confiscated. If Palestinians believed in democracy, maybe they’d be better people. But I think their country doesn’t deserve to exist.
    8
  138. I wouldn’t say this early that HTS is “Al-Qaeda”, they have attempted some early and promising reforms. That said, this is for the many other non-reformist groups in Syria
    8
  139.  @siriemapantanal6894  America refers to the US and that’s how the word is understood
    8
  140.  @cryptic_badger795  why do you think the Democrats had a “nihilistic grievance policy”? What does that even mean? In simple words?
    8
  141. Iraqi Kurdistan is democratic and very safe
    8
  142. HK went from colony of the UK to colony of China. So that’s a big downgrade.
    8
  143. It’s not just Trump. Apolitical experts and bureaucrats who served under Obama agree that Huawei is a CCP front. Is it really hard to believe? China is a corrupt dictatorship.
    8
  144.  @Z4K97B  Putin is a dictator who kills people
    8
  145.  Russian Waifu  why not copy the evidence from other nations and pass gun control
    8
  146. Drain the swamp!
    8
  147. Not true, US is the reason why Afghan women had rights to go to school, marry who they wanted, why people could live as they want without worry. Taliban took all that away
    8
  148.  Justine Littlewood  stop pushing lies please
    8
  149. She’s a coward for dodging the draft. And she thinks the Palestinians are victims, even though it was the Palestinian Authority/Hamas who helped start the wars against Israel, who commits unrelenting terrorism via rocket strikes, suicide bombings, or lone wolves with guns and knives. Israel isn’t the bad guy, it’s taking counter measures against the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Palestinians aren’t oppressed by Israelis.
    8
  150. Democrats have been pushing for years to unionize and negotiate for better working conditions and pay, etc. Why are right wingers just now realizing that there is a problem to be solved?
    8
  151. @Lost in Translation Trump released 5000 Taliban prisoners from prison in Afghanistan, as per the Doha Agreement. NOT BIDEN. Trump ordered Afghan troops to their lowest levels at 2500, while a truce was called, NOT BIDEN. Trump kneecapped the Afghan government by excluding them from ALL negotiations with the Taliban, NOT BIDEN. If Hillary Clinton won the Presidency in 2016, this would’ve never happened.
    8
  152. I don’t get, why is it funny?
    8
  153. Laws do not only apply to the law abiding. UK has strict gun laws, low rates of murder and gun-murder. All other developed countries are the same. It’s only the US, with its lax gun laws, that has such high rates
    8
  154. So it is evil to take prisoners and record them being processed?
    8
  155.  @spencerspence1678  you are wrong. US was in Afghanistan for 20 years. That’s a long time. US relationship with Taiwan goes back decades and has stood popular with both main political parties, unlike the Afghan War which has become politically toxic. No comparison
    8
  156. You are cultists. You haven’t even got anything to say about Biden other than insults
    8
  157. Who’s gonna receive his pension?
    8
  158. Yeah right you’ll just sit on your ass complaining
    8
  159. You wish you could afford to live in LA or San Francisco. But you’re too poor and uneducated, so instead you rage online and pretend you’re not the problem.
    8
  160. Brexit was a bad idea. Why are Brexiters surprised that the EU will not support the UK over its own members?
    8
  161. When will the West grow a spine and retaliate?
    8
  162. No one is being abandoned in Afghanistan. Anti-Biden haters wish that they were, and they seem giddy about the ISIS-K suicide bombing too, because it helps to crafts their narrative of hate and anti-Biden.

  163. What part of Israel was stolen from Palestine?
    8
  164. Good. Those crazy thugs need to surrender or pay.
    7
  165. Poison is finicky and in order to smuggle it into some tea, a subtle amount was used. It doesn’t prove Russia’s innocence. Besides, who else is responsible if not Putin?
    7
  166.  @MasterX14  Biden doesn’t steal from charity or have secret Chinese bank accounts.
    7
  167.  @jasemalkhaleel7122  vandalism does not warrant an armed response
    7
  168.  @danbatesy5492  You support the Taliban? That is scummy
    7
  169.  @MarkDenmark-nz2pz  Israel gave Gaza Strip back to the Palestinians though in 2006
    7
  170. But what about the migrants who are desperate for jobs and money? Shouldn’t they get a chance?
    7
  171.  @CanadaMyHome  that’s that they get for the war they started
    7
  172. NO. THIS IS ALL WRONG. ANYONE CIVILIAN WHO TURNS TO TERRORISM IS ABSURD. THERE IS NO JUSTICE TO BECOME A TERRORISM
    7
  173. Wouter Putin is a murderer. He’s killed thousands of people sent to fight and die in his wars of aggression. Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia don’t deserve Putin
    7
  174. If they attack Taliban I don’t think they are bad
    7
  175. It’s trying to encourage uneducated people to get vaccinated
    7
  176. Maybe Chinese will feel sympathy for the Tibetans and Uyghurs they murder?
    7
  177. Seychelles hasn’t fought a war to defend itself either, and isn’t surrounded by enemies. We can’t all be like Seychelles.
    7
  178. US killed 50k Taliban members which is good
    7
  179. Trump never argued policy he just reiterated insults
    7
  180. When will the UK realize that Brexit is a bad idea? They shoulda gone to college
    7
  181. JabberCT they do. Remember Romney's 47% scandal? Or are you fifteen years old?
    7
  182. Kian M.Tamar North Korea launched missiles at Japan and South Korea. It threatened the US. North Korea is a terrible country run by horrible people. Where in all that do you support it? Putin is barely better
    7
  183. Republicans are to blame as usual. They support guns over people
    7
  184. Amusing that Palestinians feel that Israel should feed them even after they started the war
    7
  185. Racist
    7
  186. Even if the US didn’t veto it wouldn’t have done anything. UN is toothless
    7
  187.  @DBZ483  Islam is not to blame for this. Christians can be radicalized and often are in developing nations. Don’t look to justify your bigotry
    7
  188.  @abdiamirghiasvand6577  The scientist is a bad person for trying to help Iran get nukes to threaten democratic states
    7
  189. You can’t blame Biden for something Trump started. You can blame him for continuing Trump’s bad ideas though.
    7
  190. Zelenskyy isn’t only a comedian, he’s also an officially licensed Ukrainian lawyer

  192.  @ЭЮЯ-о3к  how? RUSSIA CHOSE TO INVADE
    7
  193. They were human shields. Killed by Palestine
    7
  194. How is it embarrassing?
    7
  195. “Sir” and “ma’am” are just ways we refer to strangers. In that context they’re not meant to signify special respect. I agree though, it is silly when we use those words to people all the time, even when they’re not used politely
    7
  196. Leaving is for stupid people. Hence why experts disagree
    7
  197. US isn’t a bully. Russia is the one invading friendly nations and exporting corruption abroad. US spends billions uplifting Iraq and Afghanistan from anarchy. Russia bombs civilians
    7
  198. It’s not pointless, it gave Afghanistan a good future, it was only wasted when defeatists, populists, and small government types in the US pushed for a pullout
    7
  199. Grandma he was impeached in the House, that is impeachment it’s just not removal
    7
  200. Well, to be fair. He has his reasons. It would be a little silly to consider the evidence when it comes 12 years later from the accused. Secondly, I think he is reasonable to doubt that she was insane. If she was insane, why couldn’t her lawyers prove it in court?
    7
  201.  @hasibhakanovic6682 the settlements are not the cause of war, but the reaction to it. Israel wouldn’t be settling the West Bank if Palestine were more peaceful. Israel tried to give Palestine an olive branch by ending settlements in the Gaza Strip in 2006. This was not met with a peaceful reciprocation.
    6
  202. CCP pls go.
    6
  203.  @-xnnybimb-9398  why? Wouldn’t you want help if you were a refugee from poverty, war, or corruption?
    6
  204. Why lol? This law benefits no one but the ruling Chinese elites
    6
  205. Did you not watch the video? The witnesses were not witnesses at all, they just repeated what they heard, instead of offering concrete evidence
    6
  206. Sarcasm?
    6
  207. Karzai is a good person. He’s a feminist, he advocated for democracy and secular government. He in my opinion did a good effort in tough circumstances. He now acts as a moderating force against the Taliban regime
    6
  208.  @realpolitics527 the U.S. is not extracting oil from Jordan or Iraq. We are not keeping locals in line, we’re defending the peaceful and liberal world order
    6
  209. Can’t wait to see what a normal president will be like again
    6
  210. Nobody died
    6
  211. They are government employees. It’s not civilian ownership
    6
  212. 1% of 330 million Americans is far too many. Are Republicans ok with sacrificing millions of Americans just to stay open?
    6
  213.  @M-3-L-O-N  US meddles with regimes and regimes, like Axis Germany, are evil. Their supporters are evil and misguided. They support oppression and murder. US nation builds and protects nations via NATO, etc. US is morally good and North Korea is morally bad.
    6
  214. Where is the evidence of the left cheating? The GOP defunded the Post Office and is placing onerous restrictions on mail in voting
    6
  215. Brexit is a bad idea, ask anyone who goes to college
    6
  216. Serban Andrei Marin on the contrary, it speaks to intelligence of right wing voters.
    6
  217. JOE BIDEN SUCCESSFUL PRESIDENT DEFEATING HATERS
    6
  218.  Luqman Osman  But then the Taliban will take over again
    6
  219. Video seems a bit biased. How do we know he wasn’t doing anything to antagonize the soldiers? Also why are the boys parents letting him play with fireworks during a high alert? Did they want him to get murdered?
    6
  220.  @TheAvsouto  hush
    6
  221.  @LouisTsuiful  this makes no sense to me. Why should ancient claims be respected? And if so, why can’t Mongolia lay claim to all of Mainland China, if China thinks it can lay claim to Taiwan?
    6
  222. Journey Man US isn’t targeting the people of Iran. It targeted a known terrorist operating on Iraqi soil. He had it coming
    6
  223. You and your brother have good critical thinking skills
    6
  224. Do you want Florida to flood or not?
    6
  225. They could’ve done that when they were in the EU.
    6
  226. So you’re guilty if you post bail?
    6
  227. That would be most movie theatres in America. A white drive in cinema would be racist because it would imply that white-produced movies aren’t being seen, but they are.
    6
  228. Fuck that guy.
    6
  229.  @davidbarlow350  it was a rigged vote, and even if it’s true that some Crimeans wanted to join Russia, it doesn’t give them the right to steal from Ukraine
    6
  230.  @alexsilent5603  NGO reports written by experts say Russia is a regime. So you are incorrect.
    6
  231. Ok, so you think Israel should let the chemical weapons be seized by dangerous extremist groups?
    6
  232. When posting on Facebook that you’ll break the law, you shouldn’t be surprised when the Police also read it
    6
  233.  @paul7TM what evidence do you have that China cares about Africans? China under the CCP treats its own people horribly, especially ethnic minorities like Tibetans and Uyghurs. What makes you think CCP will treat Africans well?
    6
  234. Proof?
    6
  235.  @bernie129locksmith  you have no proof that Prince Andrew did anything wrong or illegal. Just speculation and rumors
    6
  236.  @senthinx  is there ANY proof to what you said, that Israel is bent on killing Gazan civilians in a low key manner? Secondly Palestine is a dictatorship, like Venezuela, China, Belarus, etc. all dictatorships should die, same with Palestine.
    6
  237. 邓杰凌 China is a dictatorship and deserves to be destroyed
    6
  238. Go to school
    6
  239. kathy smith I don’t agree with Trump, but it’s wrong to say that the US and Kurds are no longer allies, and that the Kurds are abandoned.
    6
  240. How is this Biden’s fault? Democrats like Biden are the ones who have pushed for unions and better workers’ rights, Republicans are the ones who gutted those.
    6
  241. They were Afghanistan’s most dedicated and loyal soldiers. We can’t just abandon them.
    6
  242. Afghans liked Western democracy, it was the Taliban who overthrew the government, not the Afghan people. Most Afghans don’t support the Taliban
    6
  243.  @mojothedeadman  what proof do you have that Biden left anyone to starve? Reliable sources only please. Remember also that Trump, not Biden, released 5000 Taliban prisoners from jail, while the war was ongoing. And it was Trump started the withdrawal in the first place, as well Trump who reduced troop levels to their lowest amount in all of the Afghan War. You think Hillary Clinton would’ve done this? Be honest. She wouldn’t have. This is Trump’s fault. Biden followed through on his deal, but Trump gave the Taliban 5000 reinforcements for nothing in return. Renegading on the rotten Trump-deal, the Doha Agreement, would’ve been costly.
    6
  244.  @zhufortheimpaler4041  what pressing need does Germany have for these tanks? Does it anticipate needing them in the future? The best way to avoid that future, is to send them to Ukraine, where the Russian threat is.
    6
  245. Millions of Iranians support a known terrorist. He shot hundreds of supporters and still they cry for him.
    6
  246. US needs to pass the aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Do not the pro-Russia Republican Party to holdup this necessary aid
    6
  247. Funding Hamas? Like giving them aid? Or trying to destroy the more dangerous and organized PA? Both are effective strategies and well intentioned.
    6
  248. That’s what happens when you live in the enemy nation. She shouldn’t have been there supporting the enemy. Hanoi Jane anyone?
    6
  249.  @aserlet8061  Taliban stone people and helped perpetrate 9/11. They don’t deserve to exist
    6
  250.  @ScottishAtheist  he is the most prolific and forceful advocate, his short form content (most of it reposted and remixed by others) has been uploaded and viewed vitally on YouTube and TikTok, and he is the only one willing to call out toxic double standards against young men, who society was happy to ignore for a long time and arguably still does.
    6
  251.  @theanglo-lithuanian1768  Afghanistan is not that small. 40 million people live in Afghanistan. That’s more than most European nations.
    6
  252.  @eastsouth9548  what lies do you believe the US has told? No lies have been told in the Middle East have they? Where is the proof?
    6
  253. Going there was a mistake how? If the US never went there the Taliban would still be in open power. They are weaker now
    6
  254. UK is a democracy according to NGO reports, Iran is a regime. Abuses from Iran are unsurprising to me, but maybe folks like you will stop projecting onto Iran and admit there’s no denying the rotten nation that it is
    6
  255. @P Pierre Germany needs to grow a pair and stand up to Russia. It’s a selfish nation run by people who think they’re better than everyone else
    6
  256. Bad troll
    6
  257.  @jacktaylor7690  why do you post lies online
    6
  258.  WILLIAMS F1 RACING.  US is democratic according to NGO reports, ranking similarly to the best European nations, (the worst being Serbia, Russia, Belarus, etc).
    5
  259. He’s Syrian. You think Assad gives a crap about him?
    5
  260. Go to college before sharing your opinions
    5
  261. Iran is a dictatorship and gets what it deserves. Iran chooses conflict instead of peaceful coexistence. Iran wants nukes to threaten US and Israel, that’s it
    5
  262.  @ZubbaKon  false. Democrats have done nothing polarizing (except perhaps recently, with “The Squad” and other populist progressives, though Republicans have been doing it on a far greater scale, for decades. Remember the Tea Party Movement? Yeah. Way back in 2008 or earlier. Plus mainstream Democrats denounce the Squad’s most insane policies like anti-Zionism and isolationism)
    5
  263.  @jadapinkett1656  when have Democrats smeared Republicans? When have Democrats promoted nonsense conspiracy theories to slander Republicans and sway gullible voters with fear and lies?
    5
  264. What if you support this war and want regime change in Gaza?
    5
  265. US and UK don’t target civilians. China is rounding up millions of its own citizens. There is no comparison
    5
  266.  @-xnnybimb-9398  the only person in charge of your life is you? So if you are starving, have no running water, have no job, no money, because you were unlucky enough to be born into a corrupt/developing nation, you should do nothing about it? Or try and pull yourself up by your bootstraps?
    5
  267.  @mustafabhadsorawala9608  this is what they get for the wars they started
    5
  268. Not really. US courts show leniency on multiple occasions
    5
  269. His trial wasn’t fair simple as that. Locking him up in spite of lack of evidence is mob rule
    5
  270. India doesn’t commit as grave abuses as China
    5
  271.  @Cwizes  how is NATO a threat to Russia?
    5
  272.  @ThomasSt40 that’s not what happened. “If I don’t steal it someone else will” is not what occurred. Sheikh Jarrah in Jerusalem is a land dispute. The Arab family there, were squatters. A Jewish Israeli was able to prove by provenance that the home belonged legally to his descendants EDIT: predecessors before they were expelled by TransJordan.
    5
  273.  @pro_motion firstly, Israel isn’t stealing land from Syria. Golan Heights were stolen yes, but that’s justified because Baathist Syria started multiple wars and threatened to do so again.
    5
  274. Junky lol so desperate
    5
  275.  @lordshadow3822  there is no oil in Afghanistan so try again
    5
  276.  @mirom5286  dang chill I thought the Czech government wanted people to start using the term Czechia instead of the Czech Republic
    5
  277. What’s so has about taking prisoners and filming them?
    5
  278.  @Hidinginthetreeline  how is that possible? Before the US invaded the Taliban were in charge of everything in Afghanistan. Now the US and Afghanistan have contained them to the rural areas.
    5
  279. You do not get 20 years for a joint so stfu lol
    5
  280. Sorry that WW2 wasn’t a big enough deal for you
    5
  281. I think it’s fair. Everyone has the right to lethal self defense if their life is in danger.
    5
  282.  @joexavier4070  US can destroy any country on Earth. Occupying and staying for decades is another story. Something difficult that you don’t appreciate.
    5
  283. Because unlike Trump Biden has morals and integrity, and also Biden makes Putin nervous because Biden is not Putin’s B like Trump was
    5
  284.  @mqxogames  Because Israeli forces don’t deliberately attack Palestinian civilians or commit terrorism
    5
  285.  @homeboy3368  what happens to Palestinians is the fault of their own aggressive actions. Israel would have no need to take remuneration on Palestine if Palestine were peaceful
    5
  286.  @jamesdevlin6373  really? I don’t think any other country would tolerate their neighbor behaving like Palestine does to Israel. Imagine the country next door was killing your fellow citizens, launching rockets at your homes, and invaded your country not once, but multiple times in the past 70 years (since Israel’s founding in 1948, for example). What would your country do in response?
    5
  287. That’s not what China is doing
    5
  288. You need sympathy for others. Imagine if your whole life was shaped by poverty, wouldn’t you want a country to help you?
    5
  289.  @youthere7327  Trump was a Russian and Chinese asset. He is the reason why US forces withdrew from Afghanistan. He is the reason why the Taliban’s leaders were released from prison, along with 5000 Taliban prisoners, via the Doha Agreement in 2020. Trump is disgusting
    5
  290. When will the West grow a spine and fire back?
    5
  291.  @jackbamba1390  I agree. Turkey has done a lot, others should step up and do more
    5
  292. North Korea is a dictatorship, US is a democracy, NGO reports say so. US is morally superior to North Korea, which is an evil nation
    5
  293.  @ibraveheart5700  this freedom to not wear a mask is NOT worth 6 trillion USD or 230 thousand deaths. Is it?
    5
  294.  @ChickenPizza  experts in Germany disagree with you so why should I consider your opinion at all?
    5
  295.  Robert Taylor  maybe, maybe not. But I also wouldn’t have volunteered for the SS, and specifically, volunteered to be a guard at a pure death camp
    5
  296.  @hanzalaomar9915  Taliban deserve nothing less than to suffer
    5
  297. Kian M.Tamar Putin deserves to be killed
    5
  298.  @hamishgaffaney5323 it said Israel can continue the war. Meaning Israel’s war is justified. I think the Palestinians are getting a bit of justice themselves
    5
  299. Hamas should be eliminated and then the violence will stop
    5
  300.  @darugdawg2453  it’s not about religion. For Israel it’s about making sure that its neighbors will no longer threaten and attack it. For Palestine it’s about doing what the dictators say
    5
  301. No way. The leaders of Hamas started this war and killed 1200 plus civilians.
    5
  302. Korean War was 70 years ago
    5
  303. YouTube I think autoflags posts it deems offensive, so if you were posting something offensive it was removed justly
    5
  304. Gameplay Videos that’s racist
    5
  305. Russia isn’t a super power, it is a weak middle power. Not even powerful in Europe
    5
  306.  @robertfontaine3650  firstly, Gaza attacks and has attacked Israel despite already being an independent nation, so what more would Israel do? Secondly, because Gaza Strip and the West Bank are dictatorships, and Israel is democratic, Israel has a moral right to dismantle them.
    5
  307. What you think isn’t that important
    5
  308. Iran is a regime and this is what regimes deserve. They hurt people
    5
  309.  @TheTranceCartel  European nations helped local Libyans overthrow him, but initially they were unsuccessful and called on the US for help. Gaddafi got what he deserved, he was a corrupt tyrant
    5
  310.  @SharonPiano8  Biden should cancel the Dakota Access Pipeline too. It was approved illegally and Global Warming is real.
    5
  311.  @Mr_Rabbit  Russia and China are both weaker, poorer and more corrupt than the US. Calling China more technologically advanced when they don’t even have a serious navy to threaten Taiwan is silly
    5
  312.  @User-laiejwo5381  there was no war before October 7th 2023. And it does not justify anything Hamas did
    5
  313.  @paulwei6596  US won the Korean War. South Korea’s success over North Korea is a great moral victory and vindication of US nationbuilding against Soviet and Chinese authority. US also helped the Philippines and Malaysia resist communist/terrorist insurgencies sponsored by China and Soviets. US helped ensure Eastern Europe and Taiwan’s survival against violent expansionism by Soviets/Russia and China. US also helped Israel survive wave of attacks by hostile nations in the Middle East. US is doing quite well, most fronts are winning and the US model of democracy is proven effective by example, democracies are all US allies, and all democracies are better nations than any regime. Locals sometimes are ignorant and brainwashed. If you support the dictatorships like Russia, Taliban, ISIS, or China over the US, you are not logical. US has to deal with lots of stupid people who refuse to see democracy as a good thing, sadly some of these people motivated by nationalism, communism, etc join the Viet Cong, the Taliban, ISIS, etc, and support the cause that hurts others instead of helps everyone.
    5
  314.  @jeffmoore9487  it’s not Palestine’s land to claim, they lost the moral right to the land when they acted belligerent during the multiple wars they started.
    5
  315. Mid Englander because Brexiters are stupid
    5
  316.  @darraghwalsh8534  did Arbery not have a right to defend himself? The defendant approached him with the gun, is that not assault with a deadly weapon? Secondly regarding Rittenhouse, while he may not have broken the law, he still shouldn’t have placed himself in that situation where self defense was necessary. Would’ve been better for everyone if he stayed home.
    5
  317. Has anyone aside from the fringes said that murdering police is ok?
    5
  318. Free speech should not include unintelligent and idiotic views.

  319.  Roger Brown  but then you have to live in boring and degenerate sticks of rural and exurban America
    5
  320. 骄傲的共产党员 Putin is one of the most corrupt leaders in the world. NGO reports like the Democracy Index rate Russia very poorly.
    5
  321.  @Octive  Trump started the withdrawal, genius
    5
  322.  @jahangirgill2439 then why did Palestinians in Gaza attack Israel after Israel gave them Gaza in 2005?
    5
  323.  @JG-id5vi  dude the US is still in Afghanistan and the mission to prop the government and keep out the terrorists have not ended. Trump has nothing to do with reality
    5
  324. The Taliban are horrible people who deserve to be killed and sent to Gitmo. This man has no qualms about killing you or your family.
    5
  325. Taliban are not Afghanistan. The Western backed, formerly the Northern Alliance, Afghan government is Afghanistan. Not the Taliban. Taliban are cruel and hateful
    5
  326. US should stay in Afghanistan forever like in South Korea
    5
  327. China is a dictatorship and deserves to fail. If China would live in peace with the world and stop hurting people, then there would be no enemy. But the regime does not care about the Chinese people, and so will use these conflicts as bread and circus for the Chinese masses
    5
  328. To who is BBC is biased towards? I’m curious
    5
  329.  @hazelwray4184  Iraq and Libya are better off now than they were before the US overthrew Saddam Hussein, and before NATO offed Gaddafi. Ask the people like the Iraqi Kurds, Marsh Arabs in Iraq, or the rebel factions in Libya.
    5
  330. @don't be annoying this is why we need gun control
    5
  331.  @RPD-y7f Viktor Bout is no longer a threat to the US. His arms dealing business has long since been dismantled since his arrest.
    5
  332. platt felix15 how hateful to donate thousands of dollars to build a border wall to keep out immigrants that you’d never even meet
    5
  333.  J Vlk  this war is all Putin’s fault. Russian people are better served by making peace with Ukraine, the US, NATO, and the EU. They aren’t better off by supporting corruption from Putin and provoking a war.
    5
  334. If you are a woman in Afghanistan you can be sold off to a man and have no say. You have no right to get educated or make money, you belong either to your father or husband, even if they abuse and hate you in a never ending life of slavery and domestic abuse. If you are a minority like the Hazaras, you may be persecuted or killed. If you support Democracy you are persecuted or killed. Taliban are horrible people
    5
  335. The choices have never been more different.
    5
  336. Brexit sounds like a horrible idea.
    5
  337. He wasn’t given a life sentence out of spite, he was given it out of mercy. There were mitigating circumstances. Your obsession with punishing the guilty is inhumane and unproductive
    5
  338. Funny. But the idea that Hamas was going to attack was easy to miss. Everyone in Israeli intelligence, not just Netanyahu, was surprised.
    5
  339.  Mop  Putin is a corrupt dictator. He doesn’t think like a democratic leader. He doesn’t care about the Russian country or people. He doesn’t care if Russians and Ukrainians die in a war he ferments. He cares about himself, his circle, and no one else. War serves Putin’s interests, not of Russians’.
    5
  340. You love Trump because of what?
    5
  341. Edward V sounds about right.
    5
  342. It is time to attack Russian military directly
    5
  343. All of Congress votes, and indeed, all Democrats threw their votes behind their nominee and won a majority of votes. But as you can see, there’s no winner as House Speaker because the winner needs a certain threshold, not simply a majority. Therefore, the Republicans all know that they can safely vote against their nominee because there’s no risk of the Democratic Party nominee winning, unless some Republicans defect. But defections for a vote this important are unheard of. It’s impossible to imagine any moderate Republicans or Democrats voting for the opposite nominee for House Speaker. For some issues, sure, but for this important role, it is against their most basic principles as a party.
    5
  344.  @crappymeal  Taliban is worse than the current situation. They murdered and oppressed women, minorities, dissidents, etc. They stagnate the whole nation. The Taliban and their supporters should be defeated

  345. The US is a far better nation to have as an ally than the PRC. US actually cares. It’s why Germany and the US are still allies. China has zero allies in the world. Really speaks for the CCP’s image of oppression.

  346.  King J  a few things. 1. The War in Afghanistan and the Iraq War were both started during the Bush Administration. How can the Democrats or the left be responsible? 2. The wars have done more good than bad. The tyrants like the Baathists and Taliban are being driven out.

  347. WHY DIDN'T JOHN BOLTON TESTIFY IN THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL

  348.  @hbfischer2836  the officer did his job years ago when the crime occurred. Determining whether the suspect is mentally ill or not is not his job.

  349. They weren’t abandoned on purpose. The UK and US had no idea that the Afghan government and ANA would collapse so quickly. The hope was that Afghanistan would survive and thus, the pro-US forces would be safe. If the UK and US evacuated every ally, then no Afghan government or military would be left, and the country would collapse even more rapidly to the Taliban

  352. How is China 'stronger' than the US? Stronger in what respect? They can't even take over Taiwan, because a fraction of the Navy protects it.

  353. Does BBC respond to those who are first?

  354. Russia please stop making war in Ukraine

  355. Russia is the cause of most of the fighting. Peace and stability will be obtained when Ukraine joins the EU and NATO.

  356. Russia must be stopped. They cannot annex other countries. Russia relies on nationalism, it is vile.

  358.  @intrepidkangaroo4745  why can’t the UK or EU give amnesty and make the legal process more accessible? Then people wouldn’t immigrate illegally?
    4
  359.  @makf1974 when did Israel steal the land? It was partitioned to the British and before that didn’t belong to anyone. It was inhabited by Levantine Arabs and Jews among others. As the British saw fit to give multiple Arab nations independence, one Jewish nation was fine too

  367. His policy is literally on his website and discussed in multiple articles. Trump has NOT given any specifics on what his policy would’ve been had he won
    4
  368.  @charlesmartin1121  we should consider the context of Karzai’s words. He is speaking inside a regime that is dangerous and oppressive. His words would probably be less pro-Taliban if the government was still in power. I don’t believe he stated here that the US was wrong to enter Afghanistan, or that the US killed Afghans indiscriminately. He asked the US to assist the 40+ million Afghan people, who were US allies for 20+ years, as recently as a couple months ago. I think that’s a fair request to ask. The US may be hesitant to give any support to the Taliban state, but it’s still a fair point to ask the US to help the civilians with money, aid, etc. If the US can or would re-enter Afghanistan, I’m not sure what will be done differently once they smash the Taliban’s standing forces. Perhaps the US will not stay long next time

  369. The US has helped Iraq a lot, Iraqi Kurdistan is one of the most stable states in the Middle East thanks to US nationbuilding. They don’t miss Saddam
    4
  370. Every vote does count because they need votes to win the states. Even safe states that reliably vote Democrat or Republican can flip if enough people vote or choose not to vote. This is what happened in 2016 when lots of the uneducated white Americans voted for Trump, in states that were considered Democratic leaning.

  371.  @ThomasSt40 a court in Israel, rated by NGO reports like the Democracy Index and the CPI, said what it was, it was a legal ruling. There’s no basis you or anyone else has to dispute it.

  384.  @siendbhcixisj  are you ok? Before US invaded Afghanistan was under Taliban/Soviet control

  385. Mind Freshener yes, exactly. We don’t dumb hicks shooting each other do we? Simple folk don’t deserve weapons.
    4
  386. Despite what people say online, the wider world has known about this already. Hamas has always had a presence in the West Bank, as have other groups like PIJ. It’s not new information.
    4
  387.  @csharpe5787  yes you could say Israel’s patience and trust in Palestine is at a new low, and they’re unwilling to offer any concessions.
    4
  388. US/UK didn’t colonize Afghanistan. They poured trillions of USD and sacrificed thousands of servicemen and contractors to keep the Afghan government on its feet

    4
  393.  @Hamsteren91  how do you explain the First and Second Intifadas? How do you explain the 1967 Six Day War, when Palestine was apart of Jordan, and they together had all of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and no Israeli Settlements?

  395. SundinFam Forlife Well maybe you shouldn’t have had kids until you were ready to care for them?
    4
  396. US and NATO never attacked Russia. Russia has no justification for harassing Ukraine, Georgia, or any other nation. Secondly, even if Russia had a reason to be worried, Russia under Putin is a corrupt dictatorship and is villainous and morally inferior to the US/West
    4
  397.  @dclxvi4352  Trump had a secret Chinese bank account. He hid this and the millions of USD within, from the public. What makes you think he’d be tough on any hostile nation?
    4
  398. Gregory Malchuk basic human rights? Billions of dollars are WASTED on relief as a bandaid for Trump’s incompetence. Almost 200,000 Americans are confirmed dead from COVID-19. Trump’s plans for America have been disastrous

  399. The US has food labels that clearly list ingredients and grams of sugar among other nutrients

  400.  @ravenchunter  you are supposed to quit and not follow illegal orders to commit genocide and war crimes
    4
  401.  Mike Kane Germans in WWII knew what they were doing. They weren’t radicalized like ISIS members. Secondly some punishment and record should happen, doesn’t mean she should get years in prison but she should at least be punished in some way for aiding a genocide
    4
  402.  @ChickenPizza  well, having a law degree and/or holding public office in Germany gives you the authority to comment on German laws, doesn’t it? If you don’t have a professional background then your opinions and judgements are liable to be flawed or half-baked.

  403. You can’t blame Biden for the pullout when it was started by Trump

  407. He is selfless. He could leave HK and live a cushy life. Instead he stays to fight against tyranny of the CCP.

  408. Rittenhouse didn’t break the law, but I think he shouldn’t have been there, his presence with a gun was not useful, and he wanted to play soldier. Had he not attended life would be better for everyone

  409. Serban Andrei Marin Or maybe the right wingers, who are already uneducated and poor, can wisen up and stop listening to conspiracy theories?
    4
  410. Bibi has done a good job defending Israel from Palestinian terror. And he has fulfilled a promise to reclaim homes in East Jerusalem that Jordanian/Palestinians stole from Israelis during the takeover in 1950.
    4
  411. I’d like to see you do any better. At least he stayed awhile.

  412.  @jaykyu1  do you have proof that ISIS or ISIS-K is a US asset?

  413. Trump made a premature and unsubstantiated claim. Biden after heeding experts like Dr. Fauci, is actually being reasonable
    4
  414.  @ahmadbhatti4875 this is what they get. They don’t want to get occupied, by Israel they shouldn’t have started wars and terrorism
    4
  415.  Eagle  USAID clearly lists all the money US gives Afghanistan, plus all the soldiers who help to stabilize the nation and fight terrorists. US is a benevolent nation
    4
  416.  @ousarlxsfjsbvbg8588  Firstly, Muj were not Taliban. Muj included the Northern Alliance and liberal Afghan leaders like Hamid Karzai. After the Soviets withdrew the Muj split, and the US supported the NA. So clearly US is benevolent.
    4
  417. Proof?

  418. CCP is a dangerous regime and commits unprovoked aggression against neighbors. It should be destroyed, not coddled.
    4
  419.  @aaronhill212  Russia isn’t standing up to NATO. If NATO had the proper motivation Russia would never stand a chance. Putin is happy to push the envelope with NATO for political gain, and potentially sacrifice the lives of thousands of his own people and the lives of Ukrainians if it means he benefits. He is selfish and cruel.
    4
  420.  @GoreBunny7  days earlier Israel asked/demanded the peacekeepers submit and withdraw, they refused. Also, it isn’t clear Israel targeted the peacekeepers directly. Firstly, they only suffered minor injuries, so likely they weren’t the intended target.
    4
  421.  @Ignorance_is-curse  Hamas and their allies operates in Lebanon so that is what I am referring to.
    4
  422.  @zorrotootoo3900  the Peacekeepers are not and have never in their multi-year role, been effective at forcing Hezbollah to, per the UN Mandate, withdraw from Southern Lebanon and cease their attacks on Israel and others. All they’re doing is hindering the Israeli mission and thus, indirectly aiding Hezbollah and Hamas forces in Lebanon.

  423.  @AndiWard  which is terrible, because that means they’re defending enemies of Israel

  424. They are so wealthy, accomplished, and mature, this does not hurt them in any way. They are supreme humans
    4
  425.  @tarekurrahman6225  The US is why the Northern Alliance won their war against the Taliban. And is why women, minorities, and really all Afghans have greater rights than they did under the Taliban.
    4
  426.  The King  where is the evidence that the US created the Taliban? Wikipedia says that the Taliban were created after the Muj split and the Soviets withdrew.
    4
  427. The suicide bombings in Kabul and elsewhere show how evil the Taliban are
    4
  428. Why would the US poison a Russian?
    4
  429. To blame for what? Eliminating the hostile regime of Palestine?

  430. What is the US supposed to do?

  431. Sadly, right wing populism has shattered common sense. So educated people who know better will turn comments off if crazy right wingers post toxic nonsense.

  432.  Abdel K  you have evidence or just speculation?

  433. Hafid Farah are you stupid or what? This meeting only happening because Trump surrendered the demand that North Korea give up his nukes.

  434. UN does work for Hamas. It’s there helping Hamas and its citizens. There should be no UN in Gaza

  435. China is a dictatorship, and all dictatorships are bad. Therefore it is good if HK would secede

  437.  @DBZ483  if Islam really were to blame, then why are Islamic nations or nations with lots of Muslims like Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Kuwait, Israel, Bahrain, Brunei, etc secular and democratic? Obviously Islam isn’t to blame.

  438. Daisy Audios why do you care? Is it your mission to defend China

  446.  @antoniosilvestre5150  which land of Palestine does Israel occupy? Only Area C of the West Bank. Which I will remind you, is because of their wars and terrorism

  447.  Roger Brown  no, I haven’t. I live in a medium city of 70k in Massachusetts, in an urban/suburban cluster near Boston. Wealthy, liberal, diverse, fun, it is much better than Republican land

  448.  Roger Brown  you strike me as a “not in our town” type guy. Protecting local culture is important, but it’s also important to be tolerant and appreciative of diversity
    4
  449.  @fod1235  Lee doesn’t deserve a monument, he supported a war which caused hundreds of thousands of Americans to die, on both sides. And he supported the Confederate society which contributed to racism and slavery, which are bad. Heroes get statues and heroes don’t do that. A plaque honoring the atrocities doesn’t need to include Lee on his horse looking proud
    4
  450.  @munnShen  when did Israel capture Palestine illegally?

  451. Russia isn’t in Europe

  460.  @aayaatable  cruelty is baked into the Taliban’s existence. I’d rather a corrupt nation where bribes get you ahead, than the Taliban society where people are stoned, women, minorities, dissidents etc are killed and imprisoned, and democracy is outlawed.
    4
  461.  @theweeknd2725  Taliban are outlawing women to work and attend school. They kill minorities, they executed former members of the government in the military and police. They are horrible people.
    4
  462.  @thatcanadianguy9875  the Atomic Heritage Foundation says Albert Einstein had a PhD and bachelor’s, in a 2019 article they published online. Wikipedia says Elon Musk has bachelor’s degrees in economics and physics from University of Pennsylvania. Besides even if it was true, most people who don’t have education are ignorant
    4
  463. @Abokado Boss US nationbuilding is the reason why women in Afghanistan could vote, marry who they wanted, and attend school. US invading Iraq stopped the Kurdish Genocide and ended Baathist rule. You think these are bad?
    4
  464.  @samsoumeih0341  why do you say no when it’s proven online? You can read the Wikipedia article on Jordanian occupation/annexation of East Jerusalem, it clearly states that the local Jews and Israelis were deported, and their homes were stolen. Then when Israel captured East Jerusalem from Jordan as punishment for them starting the Six Day War, the Israeli government decided that those Israeli citizens who could prove ownerships of their old homes could legally reclaim them from Palestinian/Jordanian squatters.

  468. US was built as a secular nation

  469.  @APerson4889-g5f  the media didn’t start anything. The people are reacting to what they are shown, and they don’t like it. That’s the perpetrator’s fault, not the media’s.

  470.  @Dannyboy0202  show proof for these ignorant lies

  471. Most of the IDF’s budget is from Israel itself
    4
  472. Government has a right to collect taxes, enforce laws, and have a draft. She was a coward and criminal for breaking the law. And she blames Israel for oppression Palestinians. This is silly, Israel does not hurt people for fun or malice. Israel is surrounded by hostile nations, and the West Bank and Gaza Strip regularly attack Israel or enable the attackers indirectly. Israel would not feel compelled to take such defensive actions if it had democratic and peaceful neighbors. The fault lies entirely with the Palestinian regime. Israel is also democratic and has a greater moral right to disputed territories.

  473. That’s the wrong problem to fix

  474. Xie Zhuoli the CCP is rich, and that means their economy is bigger, too big to challenge. They use money to buy their approval

  475. Pathetic is Brexit because it’s economically harmful.
    4
  476.  @revivalist355  why do you claim to agree with the Taliban?
    4
  477. Big difference is that in Russia, elections are shams and so term limits were the only way to ensure a transition of power, not so anymore. Furthermore term limits on Senators aren’t required because there are 100 Senators who share power among themselves, as well as with the rest of the US government. In Russia, Putin largely rules alone.

  478.  @ebrahimanjie5881  in your own words, please explain what Israel does to Palestine that warrants their terrorism?

  483. US never stole anything from Afghanistan. Where’s the proof?

  484. That doesn’t mean she’s lying

  485.  @myblueandme name some examples
    4
  486.  @Dilukaprasadsrilanka  China helped start the Korean War, China funded communist insurgencies during the Cold War, such as in the Philippines, Malaya, and of course, in South Vietnam via the Viet Cong. China has blood on its hands, and has never helped human rights

  488. DANNY73 Pelosi is holding it because McConnell has said that he will order the GOP to acquit Trump and ignore the regular process of calling witnesses. Trump is corrupt and acting above the law

  489.  @happytimeharry363  the enemy is all of Palestine, Palestine is the country Israel is at war with. The enemy should not be fed by Israel so long as it fights

  490. Germany is gutless and spineless on Russia. They permit Russia to bomb Europe and assassinate dissidents outside and inside Russia. All for cheap Russian oil. It’s shameful
    4
  491.  @tobiasharstel7941  I’m American. US tries to kill rogue states, Germany tries to appease them, or buy their cheap oil. Germany is gutless and sucking Russia’s Nord Stream teats.
    4
  492.  @stueymorris  the US and UK did not want to evacuate the Afghan Commandos, they are the ones who were supposed to stand against the Taliban. The goal of the pullout was not to surrender Afghanistan to the Taliban, it was to transfer defense and security to the Afghan Republic

  493. Cash Money Samuels It's silly too how they're using YouTube and their freedom of speech, to defend the existence of China, which blocks both.

  494. John Brown This is all Russia's fault.  Russia wants Crimea for its ice-free port, and as a means to punish Ukraine from breaking away and aspiring to integrate with the EU and NATO.

  498. The election fraud of hacked machines and ballots is NOT possible. The Trump Russia Collusion is proven, at least to a degree. Putin wanted Trump to win in 2016 and 2020.

  502. Fight where? US troops are all volunteers and aren’t fighting a war currently
    3
  503. What proof do you have that Biden is to blame? Trump has actual ties to the failure, such as starting the withdrawals and signing one sided deals for short term gain with the Taliban, who benefited greatly from Trump.
    3
  504.  @alexm566  uh what? Assad didn’t care when he murdered and jailed peaceful protestors during the Arab Spring. And he didn’t care when he gassed Syrian civilians with chemical weapons. Not sure why you defend Assad.

    3
  511.  @watchvidjedi  it’s nice that you are nice, but Trump’s bad faith actions are proven. He charged the Secret Service millions of USD in rents, to have them, federal agents, stay at his private properties in Florida and New York. Trump appointed his family members to key positions in the government, and they all lied multiple times on their Security Clearances, when others uncovered secret meetings with Russian officials during the 2016 Election, Trump’s cohorts “updated” their security clearances, claiming that these secret meetings they had and tried to keep secret, weren’t kept secret at all, but that everyone had “forgotten” about them. Yeah right, they tried to hide their corruption. I don’t think you should judge Biden or any politician by how well they do in front of a camera. He has a stutter, he’s old, but that doesn’t mean he’s incapable, or that his ideas and administration are bad.
    3
  512. No Americans were left behind in Afghanistan. A couple hundred are voluntarily staying and they can more or less leave as they wish. It’s not Biden’s fault that the Afghan government collapsed around them, that is Trump’s fault. Chairman and General Milley blamed the Doha Agreement for demoralizing the Afghan government, so Trump is to blame. Trump also released 5000 Taliban terrorists from Afghan prisons.
    3
  513. Snowden is a traitor and an asset to Russia and China, by disclosing state secrets of the US, a democracy . This guy is a good person by attacking a dictatorship.

Israel is building settlements and claiming land because of Palestinian aggression. Remember in 1967, Israel had no settlements, no West Bank or Gaza Strip, they didn’t even have East Jerusalem. Didn’t matter, the Palestinians and Jordanians still attacked Israel in a war of annihilation. Gaza Strip too is also blockaded because of Hamas’s aggression in 2006. The harsh measures Israel takes are driven by terrorism from Palestine.

  639. ⁠@user-uf5sd3yk6gyes indeed, the Palestinian aggression did come out of nowhere. For example, Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005, and offered the Gazans free electricity, water, and other utilities. The Gazans thanked Israel’s kindness by electing Hamas, and attacking Israel, prompting Israel and Egypt, with the support of the PA, to blockade the Gaza Strip. These people are not rational.

  675. Hold all sides accountable. Israel is breaking international law by building settlements. Fine. But have you asked why Israel feels compelled to build settlements? It is because Israel has been invaded multiple times over its short history since 1947, often from Palestine/the West Bank. The only reason Israel is taking land and building settlements is because Israel feels it has no choice, it needs defenses and feels entitled to renumeration. So Israel is bad for building settlements. Palestinians are bad for starting multiple wars, targeting civilians in thousands of terror attacks, and generally being a hateful violent neighbor.

  696.  @Theo_Isaacs Gaza Strip was its own state, Israel did exactly as you said in 2006, pulled out all settlements, had peaceful borders, offered even free water/electricity/etc to the Gaza Strip, and in return, the Palestinians elected Hamas, and committed terrorism. Only then did the blockade start
    3
  697. ⁠​⁠ @blakewilson4762 the Democracy Index, another NGO, rated Israel as democratic on the same level as other Western nations like in Europe. Amnesty International‘s claims are centered on the fact that Palestinians are not Israeli citizens and yet insist Israel give them equal services, lest that be apartheid. It’s a charged argument. Secondly, perhaps Israel is committing apartheid, maybe I can accept that. But what are the Palestinians committing? Far worse atrocities, so it’s justified as retaliation

  700. Indeed. According to BBC in a 2021 article, all candidates needed to be vetted by boards loyal to Beijing/CCP before they would be allowed to vote, and a large percentage of the legislature are not even elected by the public, but by Beijing friendly-industry groups. Hardly democratic. Voting in stacked elections is merely legitimizing the veneer used by the regime, and the CCP goons in Hong Kong have arrested people who casted blank votes in protest, or who organized calls to not vote, and boycott the elections.

This is proof US is better than Taliban for Afghanistan. It would be better for Afghans if the US directly administered Afghanistan as a US territory than to leave it in Taliban hands

And I believe the danger of leaving the Baltics exposed is marginal, Russia is unlikely to attack the Baltics while they’re tied down in Ukraine, and I doubt Germany’s tanks are that critical to the Baltic defenses, at least not to the point where allies like the US cannot fill the gap.

  723.  @retmotiv mr. Pony man, everything I typed is factual, not opinionated. The only reason Palestine and Israel are in conflict, is because Palestine started the wars with Israel and continue to fight Israel. All the way back to the 1947-1949 War, Palestinians started hostilities by refusing to accept an Israeli state. “But the Israelis came and stole land, Palestinians were defending themselves” you might say, but that is not an excuse for war. British Mandate for Palestine set aside all of Jordan for local Arabs/Palestinians, and in addition, they set aside land for an independent Palestinian state within what we know call, Israel and the West Bank. Jews accepted the deal, Palestinians and Arabs rejected it, and so the war began. Israel won, Jordan annexed the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1950, which also saw the mass expulsion of Jews from East Jerusalem. After TransJordan lost the Six Day War that it helped start, Israel took control of East Jerusalem and the West Bank as victor’s justice. I can’t find Israel at fault here.

  808.  @brethartaquino3976  NGO reports which measure both democracy and living standards rate the same countries in similar categories. Meaning democracies are objectively superior in every way.

And that it was Trump who negotiated with the Taliban and undercut the Afghan government? And that Generals Milley and McMaster blame the Trump Administration for sidelining and demoralizing the Afghan government, causing its collapse?
    2
  813.  @rookiesw347  As Biden said before, the withdrawal was chosen by Biden because the Taliban were at their strongest level in years, thanks to Trump, who was their critical asset. So…Biden had a difficult choice between committing more Americans to fight and die to undo the Taliban’s surge, or to leave and redirect US resources to more immediate concerns like China and Russia, which Trump also allowed to fester though his corrupt dovishness. This would never have happened had Clinton become President in 2016. But anyways, Trump’s legacy has been damaging and blaming Biden for trying to fix it is misplacing the blame.

Seems like you just want Democrats to fail rather than see any improvement

  843. Bill Cosby was treated fairly just like everyone else. US is not a corrupt nation, NGO reports like the Democracy Index and the CPI say so. Cosby’s wealth and status was not an advantage, it was a liability and prevented him from being viewed fairly

  844. The lockdown protestors are hateful and idiotic.

  845. 200,000 Americans are dead because of Trump and CCP virus
    2
  846. You are Russian
    2
  847.  @LolLol-pq5fp  there is plenty of evidence. Trump met secretly with Russians multiple times, and lied about them occurring. Secondly, the Mueller Report implicates several top Republicans and Russian officials.

  851. Pangeaner what fictional reality do you live in where IDF soldiers shoot innocent protestors? I’m not aware of innocent protestors in Palestine. Those who attack the border fences are repelled.

  852.  @Mugairyuiai  dodging the draft is a good thing?
    2
  853. @Daniel De saint malo Hamas uses human shields. And they instigate the conflicts between Israel. How would you respond to rocket attacks? What country do you live in? Would you be so patient if the country next to you funded terrorism, called for genocide, and launched rockets at your major cities? I doubt it. As well, distinguishing between a Hamas operative and a civilian is not always clear. They are terrorists, they may have an informal structure. Members may not be in uniform or card carrying. Is that dead civilian in jeans and t-shirt a Hamas member, a collaborator, a spy, a human shield, or truly innocent, with no affiliation for Hamas? It’s not always clear.
    2
  854. @Daniel De saint malo so you’re saying Israel should tolerate missile strikes and not fire back? Where do you live? What if your country suffered from missile attacks or suicide bombings that occasionally killed people? And caused property damage, terror threats, and necessitated a large and expensive missile defense system-known in Israel as the Iron Dome? Wouldn’t you expect your country to take counter measures? What would you have Israel do?
    2
  855. @Daniel De saint malo what proof do you have that Israel bombs indiscriminately? Israel has nothing to gain by attacking civilians. Hamas has repeatedly launched rockets, hid caches, stationed terrorist personal etc in civilian areas or disguised as civilian areas. To quote from Stratcomcoe, a think tank affiliated with NATO, “Hamas, an Islamist militant group and the de facto governing authority of the Gaza Strip, has been using human shields in conflicts with Israel since 2007. According to the Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC), the war crime of using human shields encompasses “utilizing the presence of a civilian or other protected person to render certain points, areas, or military forces immune from military operations.” Hamas has launched rockets, positioned military-related infrastructure-hubs and routes, and engaged the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) from, or in proximity to, residential and commercial areas” (_Hybrid Threats: Hamas’ use of human shields in Gaza_ , 2019). That explains why IDF kills lots of Gazans, it is the fault of Hamas

  857. I live in America and it is not falling down. The US has 330 million people and most people are going about their daily lives. The protestors are a tiny picture of the entire country
    2
  858. hangman it’s true. Count how many are protesting versus how many aren’t
    2
  859.  @MichaelJ44  in Norway, Israel, Japan, pretty much all developed nations besides the US, they have tough gun laws. They all have lower rates of murder, and gun-murder than the US. This is proof that gun control saves lives, and Republicans have blood on their hands, trading human lives for gun rights
    2
  860. What international law says this?
    2
  861.  @samo2010magik  Why didn’t Germany do this 10 years ago? When Russia attacked Georgia, Ukraine, bombed civilians and pro-Western rebels in Syria? Why did it take so long for Germany to heed the calls of the US and Eastern Europe and do the right thing?
    2
  862.  @xxJOKeR75xx  I don’t recall the US replacing a democratic leader with a dictator. US helped orchestrate some coups in Latin America with popular support of the locals (see Chile), but that’s hardly “the US doing the coup”. That’s the US helping out the Chilean people remove their unpopular demagogue Allende. Secondly, US never took oil from any nation.

  867. carpe diem. Not always
    2
  868.  @methodicalmayhem5881  US is the savior. China and Russia are regimes, we can see how badly they treat their own citizens with genocide and repression. US is a democracy according to NGO reports, US has a free press, free speech, etc. Nations depend on US for security and freedom from Russia and China, plus smaller hostile nations like Iran, North Korea, etc.
    2
  869.  @methodicalmayhem5881  beliefs? These are facts. You choosing to ignore facts is dangerous and misguided. You are living in a fantasy land
    2
  870. The government is run by experts who are way more knowledgeable than you. Whatever they discuss publicly is done so with purpose and precision. It’s also likely already public info and thus, no need to be secretive

  875. Divided States of America you are a Russian pls go. You are not American that’s for sure. Where do you live?
    2
  876.  @eastsouth9548  China is imperializing Hong Kong, Tibet, and other regions. During the Cold War China funded terrorist insurgents in the Philippines, South Vietnam, Malaysia, and most recently, Nepalese Maoists in the 2006 Nepalese Civil War.
    2
  877.  @robmule4647 we can’t just let Russia win in Ukraine, that tells the world that starting wars against innocent democracies is acceptable
    2
  878. Because too many Americans would oppose it and it would be unenforceable. Dr. Birx said she wanted to do that like in Italy, but that “most Americans respond negatively to that type of control”

  881. I believe Trudeau is being respectful and adhering to decorum
    2
  882. The Vietnam War was justified, the South Vietnamese needed help from the Viet Cong and North Vietnam, they saw the Korean War, Malayan Emergency, and other communist guerrilla insurgencies across East Asia, said they didn’t want that here.
    2
  883.  @farmwife7944  an American saying there was no reason to fight the Vietnam War is supremely arrogant and myopic. Tell that to all the South Vietnamese who fought the North and Viet Cong, that their sacrifices weren’t worth it. Today Vietnam, the legacy of North Vietnam, is a corrupt and murderous regime, they started the Vietnam War, and their reign during and after the war claimed hundreds of thousands of deaths. There’s nothing good about Viet Cong and North Vietnam
    2
  884.  @csuporj  ask the South Vietnamese if they thought it was worth it. To them it was. For the US it was too, they needed and still need to contain regimes like the Soviet Union and its successor state, Russia
    2
  885. The US is a democracy according to NGO reports like the Democracy Index, China is a regime. So nothing you typed makes any sense.
    2
  886. JC ANDY it makes you a degenerate. I’m American I can see it
    2
  887. Palestine should stop committing terrorism. This whole recent spat is because they were angry at Israel
    2
  888. @Que Dean Jordan annexed the remnants of British Palestine in 1950, which Jordan would later cede as the West Bank and East Jerusalem. When Jordan first annexed the land, it deported thousands of Jews/Israelis who had been living peacefully in Jerusalem. So now Israel says that the Israelis, if they can prove they lived their before the Jordanians kicked them out, can reclaim what was always theirs.
    2
  889. You care more about money than civil rights and anti-terrorism
    2
  890. Shark B authoritarian governments aren’t better. If it were, then why is US and Western Europe much higher than China on the NGO reports
    2
  891. Why not pass gun control instead?
    2
  892. US should not leave Afghanistan
    2
  893.  @hizzlemobizzle it is damning yet the court says Israel’s war is justified, their hostages are to be returned without condition (meaning Israel doesn’t need to make any changes), and it implies Hamas and Palestine is to blame for their war.

  894.  @eatinsomtin9984  where is the evidence that the US or any nation is exploiting Afghanistan or Iraq?

  895. BLM has nothing to do with this so there’s nothing to protest

  897. What proof do you have that the US or NATO destroyed Libya? I’ll wait
    2
  898.  @melmorrison1400  Somalia and Iran deserve to be invaded just like Afghanistan under the Taliban did
    2
  899. @ian 1 ironically the if the US had a thorough lockdown like the UK’s or other nations’, then we’d be pretty much back to normal by now. Covid-19 and this half-lockdown is being dragged on by their stubbornness
    2
  900. Blaming Islam for this is absurd. If Islam is to blame as you say, then why doesn’t this happen in other, more developed Islamic-majority nations like Indonesia, or Malaysia?
    2
  901. Do most Pakistanis agree with that sentiment?
    2
  902. Jay Deshpande that’s needlessly selfish. The immigrants are trying to escape poverty and war. If that were you or your family, you’d want some sympathy. Besides the Indian government agreed to lawfully grant then citizenship. So it was legal
    2
  903. They deserved it they were Taliban
    2
  904. The video says that barriers to entry are higher for women. Which is bad
    2
  905.  @brianmartinez6287  the Muj included progressive Afghans like Hamid Karzai who supported secular government and womens’ rights. Your idea that the Muj were all extremists is silly
    2
  906.  @Hidinginthetreeline  dropping special forces to kill the Taliban was unrealistic. After 9/11 the Taliban controlled the whole country. How you think special forces be dropped in? Secondly, the amount of US soldiers in Afghanistan is a paltry 2500, down from the height of 100,000 so it looks like your plan for small special forces is the plan for the past few years, and you should therefore have nothing to complain about. Lastly, the Afghan government exists because of the US. It does not impose foreign values on Afghans. It was made by and for Afghans. Your claim that the Afghans are being subjected is wrong
    2
  907. It’s not Russia’s land.
    2
  908.  @bolasblancas420  you don’t have a legal right to break the law and sell drugs. I could make lots more money by shoplifting and robbing people. That doesn’t mean that it is permissible. Same here for the farmers. Doesn’t matter that they make more money selling coca, they are still wrong

    2
  911. IVaV no, Putin is merely a less intelligent Stalin
    2
  912. IVaV Putin started the wars in Georgia and Ukraine. He’s got blood on his hands and is horrible. He should be punished for all the lives he’s ruined, and for all the people sent to fight or defend his wars
    2
  913. This is the problem with the backwoods
    2
  914. Russia started this war. NATO didn’t want this war, NATO didn’t want this war. Saying NATO is using Ukraine as a proxy against Russia is asinine, Russia is the one who started this war against NATO’s wishes.
    2
  915. How come this evil was able to get his guns legally? Pass gun control
    2
  916. It’s one thing to say that, but spitefully inviting Russia to brutalize its members is concerning rhetoric. It suggests malice behind those words

  921. China is a regime
    2
  922. Yuri Kovalenko what proof do you want exactly? Putin started wars, and people died fighting them. The CPI also lists Russia as one of the most corrupt nations on Earth
    2
  923. Journey through your Mind Uh no. US has a military much more powerful than Russia and a war wouldn’t necessarily involve nukes. The power of nukes is also exaggerated by children online. MAD and Nuclear winter are fiction. It’s a shame though because letting Putin act with impunity, despite the sanctions, is letting him oppress people

    2
  928. What kinds of gender conflict exist?
    2
  929. But China is rated by NGOs as a corrupt dictatorship. It is a moral duty to not submit to CCP. They should be punished, not the protesters. Protestors want freedom and safety. CCP wants cruelty
    2
  930. sapiens sapiens US prisons aren’t brainwashing camps. And you can avoid prisons in the US by following the laws. China is a corrupt regime and locks up Muslims for being Muslim.

  937.  @SerenityM54L2SAM5L5N1  doubtful. China is an authoritarian regime. What makes you think China’s leaders care about Hong Kong? Remember they tried to pass an extradition bill? And how true democracy is hamstrung by CCP vetting for loyalty to the regime? And how Carrie Lam was unpopular even before she slavishly peddled the extradition bill
    2
  938.  @cthallam6850  those are isolated incidents not patterns of abuse. China is consistently worse, NGO reports like the Democracy Index say so
    2
  939.  @rocprevail  CCP imperialism has ruined HK, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, East Turkestan, Macau, and so on. It ruins all of China, NGO reports say China has lower living standards than developed democratic nations like the US.

    2
  945. AugustanFinn it’s possible for the unemployment to fall overall while rising in some areas. That’s what’s happening here. Obama and Democrats, not Trump btw, are responsible for ending the Great Recession.

  950. Maybe the US should demand reparations from the CCP regime
    2
  951.  @अण्वायुवरीवर्त  something else, US never created the Taliban. You are conflating the Muj with the Taliban and that is not accurate. Some of the Muj went on to become progressive and secular, and founded the Northern Alliance and gave rights to marginalized groups like women, minorities, educated professionals, etc. That is the legacy of the Muj, not just the hatred of the Taliban.
    2
  952. Reforming SEATO which disbanded decades ago due to being toothless. Possibly.
    2
  953. Francis Godinho lol dude Trump is the one who called Xi Jinping asking for political advice. Trump is the one who abandoned Syrian Kurds to Assad and Russia, not Democrats. Trump is the one who allowed Russia to place bounties on American servicemen, not Democrats

  955. Sourav Bhatnagar this is just my opinion, but I think Iraq is better off without Saddam. He started the Kurdish Genocide, which killed hundreds of thousands of Kurds. He was also a dictator who oppressed the entire population. Some Iraqis might wish for him to come back, but in my opinion, the people he’s killed make him a bad leader. He wasn’t an Islamic extremist, but still, he killed so many innocents
    2
  956. Lumberjack Agies Bush and Blair killed bad people and they didn’t target civilians. If you support human rights, you can’t support the existence of dictators like Saddam or the Kims. They should be destroyed

    2
  960. You’ve never been to jail, either as an inmate, visitor, or guard. You are just lying online to give Iran damage control. I hope you’re at least paid to shill for a corrupt regime

  963. It’s time to rejoin the EU

  964. Yuri Kovalenko The money they receive is a tiny portion of the nation’s budget, and they exist as a positive symbol of British culture. It’s not the same as Putin who steals and steps on people
    2
  965. Yuri Kovalenko I live in the US actually. But how can you say that when the NGO reports say that Russia ranks below democratic nations. Don’t you want human rights in Russia?

  972. David D ELI he’s never going to do that. Previous presidents who actually weren’t stupid have tried, and they all failed.
    2
  973. Jim Bo are you ok sir? Now you’re making stuff up. Trump has done nothing but say “let’s have a meeting”. There is no skill or wisdom in that. That is why no previous president has done such a thing. Unlike Trump they understand that it’s a bad idea.
    2
  974. Jim Bo that is completely untrue. The North Koreans are the ones who cancelled the meeting in the first place. They wouldn’t do that if they were afraid of Trump.
    2
  975. Jim Bo alright, let me adjust. The North Koreans killed the meeting by acting provocative and unreasonable, and then Trump begged them to come back so that he could win over fools in the US. https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.nytimes.com/2018/05/24/world/asia/north-korea-trump-summit.amp.html Trump’s threat is empty and everyone know it. Trump is himself a fool leading fools. No strategy in surrendering US interests for hollow victories.

    2
  984. @Steve Hahn what is 330 million multiplied by .01? 3.3 million. It is simple math. By these numbers Republicans would rather 3 million die than be locked down
    2
  985.  @Hawkeye-ef4xf  550k deaths so far after about 1 year. and that was with the US’s half hearted lockdown compared to European and East Asian nations. Republicans are acting like children and they would’ve never lasted in Italy, the UK, South Korea, or Japan, despite those lockdowns being more effective and SHORTER. They actually flattened their curves and were able to reopen near fully. Not so in the US, due to Republicans impatience and uneducated-ness
    2
  986.  @soulfireonfire6423  Generals blame Trump for the Afghanistan withdrawal going poorly, Trump’s Doha Agreement was blamed for demoralizing the Afghan forces. Trump also set loose 5000 Taliban prisoners from Afghan jail.
    2
  987.  @martinc2944  Chinese foreign policy is combative, the threats made to neighbors like Taiwan and Japan paint a worrisome future. Likewise for the forced assimilation in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and Tibet. I think US should be given more credit for Iraq, US gives the nation billions of its own money every year to liberalize, which is just because the US took out the cruel dictatorship of Saddam. I also haven’t seen evidence of the US ruining countries and getting rich off wars. The US economy has done well in times of peace, such as before 9/11.

    2
  990.  @vegetaismydad5382  Is there a reliable source like BBC
    2
  991.  @akdreaming  Trump never fully closed down China. People were still coming in for weeks according to Snopes and CNN. Vanity Fair also interviewed a whistleblower who said Trump allowed Coronavirus to spread in liberal cities because Trump thought that would be embarrassing for Democrats. I HATE Trump and if I saw him in public it would be ugly
    2
  992.  @vegetaismydad5382  300,000 Americans are dead, with a half-measure lockdown. If the US did nothing, then millions would die, Trump himself said so as evidence that his poor efforts were better than nothing. I read the article and saw it was retracted due to being misquoted to promote conspiracy theories, clearly the educated professionals agree Corona is a big deal
    2
  993.  @vegetaismydad5382  so, let’s see, 300,000 people are dead, and your argument is “who cares? They were going to die from heart disease anyways?”
    2
  994.  @vegetaismydad5382  without the shutdown, NPR and The Intercept wrote articles saying that 2 million Americans would die. So the US lockdown, though half-hearted compared to say the UK or Italy, was effective in saving hundreds of thousands from dying. I don’t see what’s wrong with the lockdown.
    2
  995.  @vegetaismydad5382  the CDC article that you shared does not say that a lockdown was unnecessary. In fact the CDC has come out and said that the lockdown has saved lives.
    2
  996.  @vegetaismydad5382  why am I missing something? The experts say that without a lockdown 2 million would die, and with the partial lockdown 300,000 have died. Is that not proof that a lockdown was effective at saving lives and should’ve been stronger as in Europe, to save even more?
    2
  997.  @vegetaismydad5382  so how can you contradict the common sense expert advice?
    2
  998.  @muslimresponse103 Iraq, Libya, Syria, were not nice places before the US intervened. US helped make those places safe by democratizing them and removing the dictators

  1003.  @rosannaberckley5515  even if I would’ve chosen to do something depraved like that I still would be wrong. She was wrong too. She chose to work in a stone’s throw away from where people were being gassed, shot, starved, and cremated. Supporting that system is not right

  1013.  @pascotikayinda8002 Israel didn’t occupy anything in 1948. They immigrated to British Territory and legally bought/acquired private land and property, as any other resident of the British administration could. They wanted their own state, just all the other local ethnic groups (like the Arabs) wanted theirs. Just as the British gave them Syria, Jordan, Egypt, they should’ve and eventually gave the Jews Israel

  1018.  @andrewwalton1520  provide data that shows thousands of Americans were left behind. But no hyperlinks please, YouTube will block your comment if you post links. Secondly, the reason why Biden Administration did not evacuate most of the Afghan allies, is because they did not want to hollow out the Afghan military or government. The hope was that they would stand their ground against the Taliban. The speed of which they surrendered surprised all the policy and military experts, Trump would’ve done worse than Biden here because Trump’s planned evac was more rushed, hence why Biden pushed back the deadline to allow for a more orderly withdrawal. I blame Trump for ordering the withdrawal, for helping to turn the American public against helping foreign nations, and I blame Trump for releasing 5000 Taliban terrorists, including senior leaders, from Afghan prisons in 2020, and for agreeing to a rotten deal, the Doha Agreement and excluding the Afghan government from negotiations, which Chairman of the JCS General Milley cited as the cause for demoralizing the Afghan government. None of this is Biden’s fault. Had Hillary Clinton been elected in 2016, this would’ve never happened, along with other avoidable tragedies like Trump’s bungled Covid-19 response which the Lancet medical journal blames Trump for.

  1019. Serban Andrei Marin Trump stealing from people is ok? Do you honestly believe that, or are you just too prideful to admit that Trump is WRONG to steal from charity? If you think it’s ok for an anyone in government to lie and steal from the people, which is what the Trump Foundation did, then you are ok with an America that is lawless and all the chaos that comes with it. So much for law and order, but who is surprised at the political intelligence of Trump Supporters? where is the proof that Biden is corrupt? I’ll wait It’s unambiguous, Trump abandoned the Syrian Kurds and other rebels to to be killed by Turkey, ISIS, and Russia. He should’ve mediated with Turkey and should’ve bombed the latter, not just give them what they want for free, what a fool he is to surrender US allies for nothing. Indeed, Trump is incompetent. Multiple times he has revealed classified intel directly to enemies. If Clinton’s emails were a concern, this should be a bigger worry. He blabbed to the world about the location of nuclear submarines, blew the lid off of Israeli informants in the Middle East, and threatened the integrity of the Five Eyes so much, that key nations like the UK do not trust Trump to keep secrets, so intel sharing is now limited until Trump is out. Trump’s mishandling of the Coronavirus in the US, plus the Republican’s initial willingness to reopen, has killed thousands of innocent Americans, and no money is worth that. GOP Governors even realized their mistake after record spikes in cases, but Trump does not seem to care, he has not changed his policies or his candor, he is not bothered by the deaths of thousands of Americans. Trump has pandered to Russia multiple times since being elected. He refused to condemn Putin or Russia after learning that they ordered the murders of US service-members. Trump is so concerned about pleasing Putin, he has not acknowledged Russian bounties on US Servicemen, some of which have been paid out. He could demand that Russians or their Taliban allies stop, or or warn the country to prepare. But he didn’t. Instead he kept it a secret from the public because Trump would rather let Americans in uniform die rather than offend Putin or look weak. How can an educated moral person vote for Trump?
    2
  1020. Ste Andre-Cole lol your lies are transparent Trump delayed taking action for months because he didn’t want to do anything
    2
  1021. Serban Andrei Marin No he hasn’t. Experts have denounced his policies like a border wall as futile and expensive. The real solution is to increase immigration quotas so that more Mexicans and and Central Americans can immigrate legally.
    2
  1022. Serban Andrei Marin Trump has failed to do what dozens of other nations have done, Trump has failed to flatten the curve, as a result US has higher rates of COVID-19 deaths and infections than most nations on Earth. Trump even let Coronavirus spread in the coastal blue states because he thought it would embarrass the Democratic governments there, with no thought to those who would die. This is revealed in articles by The New York Times and Vanity Fair which recounts an expert who worked for Trump. He was told to do nothing as it spread in the liberal states. Illegal immigration could easily be solved by Congress raising legal immigration quotas, as most could pass vetting is allowed to. But the GOP hates brown people and likes to have the issue open as it mobilizes their racist base. So GOP will never solve the issue and will continue to support anti immigrant rhetoric to secure the racist vote

    2
  1031. @CMLAFLAMME I say Taliban is worse than the Iraqi Baathists, but not by much. Saddam Hussein was genocidal and he got what he had coming. Iraqis who supported him are either delusional and uneducated (high likelihood) or are equally cruel as him.

  1059. You are wrong, the US didn’t start the Vietnam War, it was a repeat of the Korean War and started by hostile communists like Ho Chi Minh and the Soviets and Chinese. Iraq is also doing quite well thanks to the US invasion, Iraqi Kurdistan is one of the most developed regions in the Middle East, and Southern Iraq is relatively peaceful, according to the Brookings Institute.

  1063.  @cruzthesasquatch  why should we build a monument honoring a war provocateur and a slaver? Lee supported the Confederacy, and promoted its principles of secessionism, slavery, and racism. He contributed to a war which, had he been successful, would’ve left millions of Americans enslaved, disenfranchised, and segregated. And he would’ve robbed the US of roughly half of its territory by legitimizing secession. Reluctant or not, he did this and tried to succeed. He shouldn’t get a statue. He did nothing heroic. He was destructive.

  1089.  @allandill2033  yes, people who are more advanced do more for humanity than Stone Age tribals. It’s best for humanity that the strong take the weak nations, for they are idling and holding us back as a species. After all, if the Old World never colonized the New World, then no country today in North or South America would exist. Do you really think the world would be better off left to the Indian nations? I don’t.
    2
  1090.  @allandill2033  not all countries and nations progress at the same speed, like you imply. The Native Americans in the US were Stone Age for millennia. This is a fact. The more advanced nations like the Mexica/Aztecs, the Olmecs, the Mayans, the Incas, etc, were not much better, in some ways they were worse (human sacrifices, constant warfare, and such). There’s no indication, no proof that if the New World hadn’t colonized the New World, that the New World would be as advanced as it is today.

  1113. I think it is worse than Sun City. Different at least. From what little I’ve learned on Wikipedia and other articles, South Africa let Sun City loose and told them “do as you wish, but stay away from us, thanks for all the land”. This is China saying “get out, assimilate, die out, and submit to the corrupt regime, give up your rights and submit”.
    2
  1114. Ironically, I think many Tibetans and other minorities in China would want to be treated like South Africa treated Sun City. The minorities don’t want to claim all of China for their own, Urumqi doesn’t want Beijing. They want to separate from China, at least partially. Black South Africans wanted to be included.

    2
  1124.  @walsidd  Assange released classified information
    2
  1125.  @walsidd  the answer is that you are wrong, and he is not in trouble for releasing alleged war crimes, I don’t think the US ever even committed war crimes in Iraq or Afghanistan, firstly. Secondly according to Wikipedia, Assange is charged in the US for helping Chelsea Manning, who was charged with multiple crimes and released 750,000+ documents to the public, helping US enemies and hostile actors/nations like the Taliban.

  1163. revolutionalist CCP government suppressed information about the virus, refused warnings over the wet markets and SARS, and are now price gouging their faulty medical equipment. They suck

  1164.  @fh5047  I agree, the protesters were wrong to confront Rittenhouse as they did. It was probably illegal of them, and ideally, police should’ve arrested them. However, that does not mean Rittenhouse did the right thing. He still should’ve stayed home, he did nothing good that night. Two people are dead, another injured, and this could all have been avoided had he stayed home. Better that rioters are allowed to damage property than be killed.

  1169.  Roger Brown  hahahahahahahah lol saying Cincinnati is comparable to Boston hahaha no. We in Massachusetts, especially around Boston, do not look kindly on the Midwest. We see it as filled with people who are culturally degenerate, don’t travel, make less money, are less cultured…Ohio is not a nice state. It’s not comparable to the class and prestige of Boston and Massachussets. We literally look down on the rest of the nation as either rural bumpkins, or urban decay.

  1172.  @malekaltayari3936  dictatorships which hurt people and are a threat to the the world order set by the US, which is overall good because it encourages cooperation and ending regimes, should be removed
    2
  1173.  @sile7771  US could target Chinese infrastructure like power plants, military bases, political offices, train stations, harbors, highways, airports, to cripple the CCP regime and military. US has a larger and more advanced military, even if nukes are exchanged, US has the ability to intercept Chinese nukes and when the dust settles, US will emerge with its larger military and economy, which China will still not have

  1174.  @tommykerwin6907  so you have any proof?
    2
  1175.  @NaViAgain-ts9lj  where’s the proof US killed millions of civilians in? Also less than a few hundred people were ever sent to Gitmo in its decades of existence. They were all guilty of terrorism and no nation wanted them, calling it a concentration camp is insulting and untrue
    2
  1176.  @ali99_82  show proof US killed people. China actually has killed innocent people, they support regimes like North Vietnam, Soviet Union, North Korea, they sponsored communist insurgencies across East Asia and Latin America, they support the Taliban, the supported Nepalese Maoists, US supports the global order which is to discourage regimes and encourage democracies. Global democratic alliances like the EU and NATO are encouraged by the US. US also made/protected multiple democracies after WWII and the Cold War, like the Baltics, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, etc.

  1177.  @piotrwaniek  senseless fear? Get educated. Nothing senseless about US foreign policy.
    2
  1178.  @NaViAgain-ts9lj  China supported communist insurgencies across Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America. They tried to export their corrupt dictatorship and kill other people. They also supported the likes of North Korea and North Vietnam, and recently offered support to the Taliban similar to Russia. China took away rights and hurt people in Hong Kong, Tibet, East Turkestan, Inner Mongolia, etc. the CCP can’t be trusted

  1180. They are probably concentrated in specific areas or demographics. So unless you live in a specific age group or location, you won’t see them.
    2
  1181. It’s not a joke, China have treated their own citizens poorly, so how do you think they will treat foreigners? For those who doubt the possibility, let me remind you all, WWII was only 2 generations ago, instead of Stalin and Hitler, we now have another dictator poised to make power grabs
    2
  1182.  @fod1235  sorry I didn’t mean to presume. But I’m not sure I see the point, maybe a museum specifically devoted to historical revisionism, or something niche like that

  1193. A Guy the Inequality Adjusted HDI exists as a separate NGO report. It also rates Russia poorly. Probably worse than the HDI as this one factors in Russia’s high inequality. The reports are every year so Russia is a proven stagnant nation. The reports also do measure living standards despite your claim
    2
  1194.  @sexynelson100  What crimes did Israel do? Building settlements? Israel only builds settlements because the Palestinian regime is dangerous and hostile, there were no settlements in 1967, when Palestinians under Jordan had East Jerusalem, all of the West Bank, and they still launched a war against Israel.

  1202. @Paul MR1 This is Republicans’ fault for obstructing immigration reform multiple times the past 20 years.
    2
  1203.  @croissantlover1  This is Republicans’ fault for blocking immigration reform. The quotas on immigration are placed by THEM. Democrats’ attempts to reform it are repeatedly blocked
    2
  1204. @James 179 Congressional Republicans have strict quotas on immigration from Latin America, to protect their precious Sun Belt states from turning blue. Secondly, Democrats tried multiple times to raise immigration quotas, but Republicans blocked them all by vote or Filibuster. They have also made such a move politically taxing and toxic, that now most politicians dare not to challenge it, lest they be voted out. The Republicans have weaponized xenophobia to get elected.

    2
  1209.  @enricotraica3857  the Mujahideen are not the same as the Taliban however. The previous and progressive Afghan government was from the anti-Soviet Northern Alliance, which was a shoot off of the Mujahideen.

    2
  1215. Not the downfall. The US is doing fine domestically, we will endure. It’s foreign policy that is getting fucked up. Taiwan and Hong Kong are fucked, as are Georgia and Moldova. Russia will use its useful idiots in EU (ahem, Germany) and US to undermine our strength of democracy in this world. Corrupt regimes like Russia will throw more wars onto Ukraine and Georgia.

  1216. Alex Jackson-Smith comrade, are you stupid? Saddam’s could’ve proved himself WMD-free by allowing UN inspectors into Iraq, but he never did. Your narrative that the UN is flawed and cannot be trusted is false. Russia is guilty of assassination.

  1223.    Democrats did not invent fake scandal to smear Trump. -Trump let Putin place bounties on our troops, -Trump spilled nuclear secrets multiple times, -Trump enriched himself by putting SS Agents in his properties at market rates, -Trump trashed US allies and pursued racist policies like the Travel Ban and Border Wall. -Worst of all Trump allowed the Coronavirus to spread in the US, Vanity Report even claims from a whistleblower that Trump let it spread in Democratic states, because he thought the death of people in liberal areas would embarrass the Democratic Party. None of this was fabricated by Democrats. Republicans cooked up fake and unproven scandals like blaming Hillary Clinton for the Benghazi Attack, and Birtherism against Obama. Republicans also deny the evidence from science and other countries, which proves right Democratic policies like gun control, climate change, and universal healthcare. Republicans sadly are the party of lies

  1226. Gone Gaming. It’s not a conspiracy theory even Fox News covered the Trump Foundation being shut down. I can’t hyperlink because YouTube flags that as spam, but if you search in YouTube “Trump Foundation shut down” you will find dozens of videos documenting the fact that Trump stole from the Trump Foundation, which is his charity.

    2

  1233.  @warh1story563  that’s just a few people’s alleged experiences, the fact is most of the inmates were convicted hardcore criminals known by Iraq and the US as such

  1244.  @andreaskavak2364 the US didn’t have a choice for who to bring back. They were only offered Griner and not Whelen. You can read this from recent 2022 articles on CNN, BBC etc. US can’t just choose who Russia hands over.
    2
  1245.  @basementdweller2830 Viktor Bout is not able to threaten the US anymore, his business is dried up since he was arrested ~10 years ago. Griner was foolish to visit Russia and provide a pretext for her arrest (cannabis oil) but she didn’t deserve ten years in harsh Russian prison
    2
  1246.  @DesiGalCrochet as well, Biden could not choose to pick Griner or Whelen, Russia withheld Whelen from any prisoner swap. He wasn’t even on the table. Russia’s fault.

  1251.  @AbsoluteOldskoolHardcoreJungle  why do you hate Israel so much? Israel is reacting to aggression created by the Palestinian Authority, by Hamas, and hostile nations like the Baathists or Jordan.
    2
  1252.  @amanahmad1110  try and see Israel’s point of view. Palestine wants half of Jerusalem, and wants the 1967 Green Line borders? Even after Palestine started the Two Intifadas, the Ramallah Lynchings, and helped start and fight the 3 wars of aggression against Israel, you think Israel should give up land to Palestine? That is naive. Israel would be foolish to do that. Israel would only get invaded again.
    2
  1253.  @AbsoluteOldskoolHardcoreJungle  Israel didn’t do anything wrong. It was the surrounding nations who did that.
    2
  1254.  @AbsoluteOldskoolHardcoreJungle  i don’t get what your problem with Israel is. What would you do after Palestinian military and terror cells invaded your country? Israel is building checkpoints and barriers to keep terrorists out of Israeli territory. Israel also claims the West Bank as justice, and retribution for winning the wars Palestine and other nations started against Israel. Israel was created decades ago, the Palestinians were given Jordan by the British. Then they were given half of modern day Israel, and each time they wanted it all and started wars

  1307.  @leehenry5764  this is the truth, if we live in a world where truth doesn’t matter, then what are we?
    2
  1308. Kudos? US and Eastern Europe have been asking Germany to take the Russian threat seriously for decades? Germany was addicted to cheap Russian oil ( a claim often thrown at the US) and ignored Russia’s murderous wars in Georgia, Syria, and Ukraine since 2008.

  1309.  @idrisalhajiadamu7590  where’s the proof US killed innocent people?
    2
  1310.  @bantacommander8744  the Bible says things that we’d find bad by modern standards too, indeed some Christians become radicalized, either individually in the US, or as wider movement, like in Central Africa. Problematic language alone is nor enough to conclude that there’s a problem

  1311.  @aserlet8061  Trump is the one who peddled and sold to the masses this isolationism. The war ending on Taliban terms is his fault

  1319.  @ollymark11651  Baathist Iraq was a rotten country that deserved to be invaded like Gaddafi’s Libya or Taliban-Afghanistan
    2
  1320. Karzai was being political and ungrateful. He had just lost his election. He failed to mention that the US is the reason why he was put in power democratically, and how the US has given Afghanistan 100 billon USD between 2001 and 2014. The Washington Post wrote an article saying so.
    2
  1321. US should stay, leaving would be a betrayal to Afghans who supported the US. Nothing wrong with a long term presence. US has been in South Korea, Germany, and Japan for decades. Why not Afghanistan?
    2
  1322. That’s a problem but that is separate issue. Both are good ideas
    2
  1323. Why should Biden visit the location personally

  1325.  @retmotiv  show proof of illegal activities by Israel. It is very likely, that you and your hooves are misunderstanding facts, especially given that you, in all likelihood, are not a lawyer or a politician. Your opinions on the matter, therefore, are amateurish. You should not trust or volunteer your opinions on matters which you know nothing about, mr pony man. Clop clop clop
    2
  1326.  @Ei_Kei  British Mandate was territory under British control, so it was their country, firstly. Secondly, the British had nothing directly to do with the creation of Israel. The 1947-1949 War is clear on the matter, you can read about it for free on Wikipedia. The Jews/Proto-Israelis were often fighting the British for independence, as well as fighting hostile Arabs within the British Mandate, and hostile nations like TransJordan, who backed the local anti-Zionist Arabs.

  1329. According to BBC in a 2021 article, all candidates needed to be vetted by boards loyal to Beijing/CCP before they would be allowed to run, and a large percentage of the legislature are not even elected by the public, but by Beijing friendly-industry groups. Hardly democratic. Voting in stacked elections is merely legitimizing the veneer used by the regime, and the CCP goons in Hong Kong have arrested people who casted blank votes in protest, or who organized calls to not vote, and boycott the elections.

  1354.  @willcox4561  literally nothing you typed is truthful. Americans were never stranded in Afghanistan, where’s the proof? What proof also is there that Biden left equipment for the Taliban? Biden, with the consent and advice of his military advisors, left the Afghan government some equipment. But the Afghan forces collapsed rapidly and faster than even the worst case scenarios expected. Nobody, including Trump, expected that the Taliban would get their hands on that equipment. If Trump won the Presidency instead, same thing would’ve happened, only worse, because Trump’s timetable was even more rushed than Biden’s. How is this Biden’s fault? When it was Trump who started the withdrawal and made 1-sided deals with the Taliban, given them free reign as long as they abide by the low bar of not allowing terrorists to operate?

  1356.  @andresc1143  there’s no apartheid in Israel. Israel scores highly on NGO reports like the Democracy Index, all its citizens are treated mostly fairly, low level discrimination exists, analogous perhaps to what black Americans experience in the US. While it is persistent, it is also recognized, combated, and generally not a debilitating. Israel owes the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip nothing.
    2
  1357.  @heromahdi  those are legitimate terrorist targets that Israel can and should destroy. Hamas regularly uses human shields and launches rockets or operates near/in civilian buildings. Israel has a right to blast them. Any nation has the right.

  1360.  @SadaK-tr6dm proof? Even if all those conspiracy theories are true, it doesn’t excuse Palestine’s aggression
    2
  1361.  @TEAMPHY6  none of that is proof that Israel allowed the attack to happen. Failing to act on intelligence, particularly weak or lacking intelligence, is not proof of malicious intent. That Israel was unprepared in the face of vague warnings is not proof that they permitted the attack to go forward.
    2
  1362.  @SadaK-tr6dm  they didn’t know when it would occur, and likely assumed whatever attack happened would be contained by defenders already positioned. It’s a heavy thing to say a whole country allowed this attack to happen, you need solid proof, not speculation.

  1365. ryan oneill dude the atomic bombs were meant to end the war, if the US didn’t atom bomb Japan hundreds of thousands of British and US soldiers would’ve died in an Allied invasion of Japan. As for Iraq and Afghanistan, I think you agree that the US occupation and New democratic governments are preferable to the tyranny of Baathists or the Taliban. Vietnam War was a defensive war when the US entered to protect South Vietnam from the same communist aggression that plagued South Korea and Malaya. The Tuskegee Experiments were a minor facet of WWII and aren’t important. Mike Pompeo’s clips out of context don’t speak for the US.

  1372.  @nospamallowed4890  the scenario you describe is virtually impossible. Republicans don’t want to nominate a House Speaker that has policies Democrats would support. That hurts their brand and their right wing policies. Such a nominee would never clear the threshold, there would be open revolt among Republicans and it’s not clear Democrats would support a moderate Republican candidate either, there would have to be something in it for them. Democrats for their part, will never support a Republican speaker given how opposed any Republican, even a moderate, is to Democrats’ ambitions to transform America and make it more like other Western nations. And there is also the slimmest chance, barely even worth mentioning because it’s so remote, that a few moderate Republicans might defect and support the Democratic nominee. While a few Republicans defection this is unthinkable, it’s less unthinkable than masses of Democrats voting for one of the Republicans’ nominee. I suppose a moderate Republican could collude with Democrats and organize a massive Democratic defection, coupled with a few Republicans to cinch the election but to say it defies convention is an understatement. More realistic but still unthinkable is that the Democrats nominate their own moderate to sway a few Republicans, but this is perhaps more absurd, why would any Republican turn over control of the House to their rival party, after working so hard to win it back?

  1384. You all claim that Israel’s settlements are the reason why there’s a conflict. But if that’s the case, how do you explain the Six Day War in 1967? When TransJordan/Palestinians had everything; the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza Strip and then some. The PLO/Jordanians had all the land that is currently disputed, and it didn’t matter. THEY STILL LAUNCHED A WAR OF AGGRESSION AGAINST ISRAEL. There’s no indication that if Israel ends all the settlements and hands over East Jerusalem that there will be peace. It didn’t happen before, why now? On the contrary, for Israel to cede large amounts of territory would put the nation at risk for another war or intifada. Israel fought 3 major wars and endured two Intifadas. Why should Israel risk another of either? Israel needs the land as strategic buffers so it doesn’t get invaded AGAIN. No other country would entertain this nonsense.

Your ideals of peace benefit dictators who hate peace.

  1398.  @Complimentarydust  ISAF was code word for “I Saw America Fight”. Germany sent token forces in Afghanistan and did nothing but stand around while other nations, the UK, the US, Afghanistan itself, actually made sacrifices to get the job done. Germans sat in their bases and did nothing but posture.
    2
  1399.  Ken Hugehugerod  also, the US didn’t flee overnight. This was broadcast a long time coming. US politicians were debating ending the War in Afghanistan as far back as 2012, when Presidential Candidates Obama (D) and Romney (R) both hinted at ending the war. Later Obama drew down troop levels. The writing for withdrawal was on the wall, unless Afghanistan shaped up and ended the incessant corruption found at all government levels. I think leaving was a bad idea, but to say Afghanistan had no warning is untrue. They had plenty of warnings, they didn’t care to address the US’s core concerns of fighting corruption.

  1436. Lord Of frog Israel is not a threat to the Western World, Israel is a democracy accountable to the Israeli public, Iran meanwhile is not.  And Iran does indeed fund terrorism, and has acted belligerent in the past, directly threatening Israeli's sovereignty.  Israel is not an apartheid state.  Israel has never denied any of its citizens, Jewish or Arab, the right to vote, has never limited freedom of speech, and other countries and states, such as Syria and Hezbollah, have attacked Israel illegally and without provocation, Israel is not anymore guilty than its neighbors in this respect.  Israel always offered Palestinians and Syrians in the Golan heights citizenship when the lands were annexed, and Israel has done better for its citizens than either the West Bank or Syria ever could.  Compared to Israel, those other countries, which are not democratic and have far graver and more frequent human rights abuses, don't have a leg to stand on.  Israel is simply the better country and Palestine should simply submit, or sue for peace.

  1442. goff0103 You need to understand something here, Belarus and Ukraine are not comparable.  For instance, when you say Belarus, do you mean, the people of Belarus, or do you mean the regime of Belarus?  Well if you are under the impression that the regime of Belarus is acting in the best interest of its people, or "playing both sides to get what it wants" as you said, then you are wrong.  Belarus is a regime, and regimes do not care about the welfare of their citizens.  Ukraine is not perfect but it is more democratic than Belarus or Russia, NGOs like the Democracy Index say so.  Ukrainians want to be more than just some petty dictatorship like Belarus, they want to thrive in a democratic society, and the best way to obtain that is join the EU and NATO.  This in turn will help EU and NATO members, because like with the former Eastern Bloc joining up, it will curtail Russia's power to make war in the region, this in turn will lead to peace, which in turn benefits the EU and NATO.

  1450. For Hinguerez There's a lot of horrible stuff in the New Testament if taken literally. However most Christians live in secular countries where religion is not taken literally.

  1452. Play now or die Hahahahahahaha you are wrong. There are Hindu extremists and they are violent, even some exists today in India's right wing politics. India also experienced widespread violence between Hindus and Muslims when Pakistan and India split up. And within Hinduism there is a rigid and backwards caste system. Point is religions besides Islam have potential to be problematic and there is nothing uniquely bad about Islam or Muslims.
    1
  1453. Play now or die it's not representative of all Muslims, or of Muslims living in the most developed cultures.

  1454. Play now or die so what? That just means that most Muslims live in concentrated region of the world which is historically undeveloped. The fact that the Middle East and Southeast Asia are such regions prove this. Which means you have no proof that Islam is inherently bad, only that Muslims tend to live in undeveloped countries, they got undeveloped due to many factors like colonialism

  1494. Amazing World You may read NGO reports such as the Democracy Index and see for yourself that democracies are better than regimes.  You may also research some political science and then realize that the US does indeed spread democracy.  USAID is dedicated towards such a purpose.  It is also a fact that Iraq has improved since the Iraq War, look at Iraqi Kurdistan!  Countries want to join NATO for protection from Russia.  Russia holds territory from Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova.  And just decades earlier, the Soviet Union ruled over the Eastern Bloc.  Countries like the Baltics and Poland remember all too well what it was like to live under Russian authoritarianism.  Therefore, they ran from Russia and ran into NATO, because they fear Russia.  Russian meddling in Ukraine only vindicates those fears.  I would also like to stress that what Russia is doing is morally bankrupt, they are a regime trying to spread regimes, unlike the US which spreads democracies.  To join NATO for instance, you must be democratic.  
    1
  1495. Amazing World That fact about the US is true, however, it is not the whole story, US overall has strong liberal traditions and fair laws, as a result it is still a democracy in spite of that flaw you mention. And the Democracy Index is no junk source, it is considered scholastic and is featured in databases used by Ivy League schools. If it's good enough for Harvard than it's good enough for me. I trust it. And I am unable to visit Iraq and do a case study, as a result the NGOs are the next best thing. Why don't you trust them?

  1497. Amazing World In the US you are given a fair and speedy trial, given a free lawyer if you need one, and if you are sentenced to prison, you are treated humanely, generally.  In Syria, this is not true.  You are tortured, killed, and disposed of.  NGOs say so and the NGOs are not wrong, if they were wrong, then someone somewhere would've demonstrated it, and they haven't. 
    1
  1498. Amazing World The details you mention are minor.  Overall, for most people, the US is a great, peaceful place to live in.  Which is why it is ranked so highly by NGOs.  The US isn't perfect, but it's still good, and better than its rivals such as Russia and China.  Afterall, which country would you rather live in?  All the immigrants are coming to America for a reason you know.

  1504. britvroman Russia is on the ropes, US and EU are not.  Russia's support for the war will dry up, Russia will withdraw from Moldova, Georgia, Crimea, and Eastern Ukraine in order to make amends with the West, and then, Ukraine will have won.  You lack vision for the future.

  1525.  WILLIAMS F1 RACING.  no, the onus is ON YOU. My proof is NGO reports which rate the US highly, like the Democracy Index. If US law enforcement was as bad as you claim then the US wouldn’t have high ratings. Therefore, you are wrong, or you are misunderstanding the facts.

  1527.  @JSS_Network  I don’t know who those random people are, but most of the inmates in Gitmo and other such prisons were known terrorists, if a few innocent or ambiguous people get caught up, that’s a mistake. But that doesn’t mean that the US is wrong to imprison the others in general. If you support civil rights you should support the War on Terror

  1544.  @diego61422 in what context is Israel taking land from Palestinians? Usually, like in East Jerusalem, Israelis and their descendants are reclaiming their generational homes from Palestinian squatters, who moved in after Jordan annexed East Jerusalem and kicked out the local Jews/Israelis living there.
    1
  1545.  @yasararif8292 here’s the ultimate issue. Israel is democratic, and doesn’t start wars. It is morally superior to authoritarian regimes that start wars, like the West Bank or Gaza Strip. There is no moral comparison.
    1
  1546.  @leslie-annmills-gomez8763  your premise is false. Can you explain what part of Israel is Israel occupying?
    1
  1547. It’s due to states’ rights. Small states like Wyoming have a larger proportion of Electoral Votes than large states like California. So Republicans often win the smaller rural states, and Democrats win the larger and wealthier urban states, with the Swing States going either way. But the GOP often wins without the popular vote due to the outsized effect of small states.
    1
  1548. WildwoodCastle New York and Chicago are some of the wealthiest areas in the nation. In fact Greater Chicago feeds all of Illinois. Taxes go from liberal centres to conservative ones.

  1549. John Henry Form their strategy? Trump has announced no major platform this year. In 2016 his plan was denounced by experts as non-sensible and racist. He divided the country by threatening to ban Muslims and limiting legal immigration
    1
  1550. John Henry Obama never advocated against banning an entire religion, Islam. Nor did Obama or the Democrats campaign on reducing legal immigration and trapping undocumented immigrants in permanent limbo instead of amnesty. That’s all the GOP and Trump
    1
  1551. John Henry Obama was enforcing laws set by the GOP and demanded by the public. He and Democrats have consistently pushed for immigration reform, meaning letting more immigrate legally and for amnesty, which would reduce the number of undocumented immigrants. Conservatives said no.
    1
  1552. John Henry House passed bills that the Senate refused to pickup. And it’s a fact that the GOP limits immigration and the Democrats want to preserve and expand it.
    1
  1553. John Henry I read plenty. Did YOU not notice how the GOP has been anti immigrant and anti-refugee since 2016? Or even during the Obama years? GOP controlled both houses for a few years and passed legislation to deport undocumented immigrants. The officials also encouraged xenophobia and nationalism among the right wing voters with support of measures such as no amnesty and fear mongering such as with the killing of Kate Stein.
    1
  1554. John Henry Immigrants do not need help. They come to work and the CATO Institute reports that legal and illegals are less likely to need government aid or commit crimes than native born citizens
    1
  1555. John Henry where is the proof that immigrants, legal or illegal, are a burden? If you lose your job to someone else that is your fault. Try going to school and taking responsibility.
    1
  1556. John Henry If you aren’t threatened by immigration then you’d have no reason to oppose it. The reason you do oppose it therefore must be because of racism
    1
  1557.  @Hxtice the Palestinians are not innocent, they are suffering the war they their government started. This is entirely their fault. Israel will destroy the government to ensure this tragedy and the whole war does not repeat. And a two state solution is now increasingly unlikely.
    1
  1558. ⁠ @pandemicoftheunvaccinated5367 there’s no evidence that Israel desecrated Al-Aqsa Mosque, and as well, the only reason Israel is occupying parts of Palestine is because of the many wars they started since 1948. This is all Palestine’s fault.

  1566.  @il38694  Actually, it was Trump who started the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. Biden oversaw the evacuation and lifted tens of thousands of people out of Kabul in only a few days, which is a great logistical achievement. What’s your point? What did Biden do badly?
    1
  1567.  @il38694  what proof do you have that Biden is to blame for the chaos in Afghanistan? Could anyone else in charge from Washington done it differently? How so?
    1
  1568.  @liit_one8800  you’re speculating without proof. Firstly, show evidence detailing what was left behind. Also, what of the former Afghan government, perhaps it was left for their use? Or perhaps evacuating the equipment in such a short time table was not feasible?

  1595. blazednlovinit says you
    1
  1596. Brother Spartacus yes because it may be biased, out of context, staged, or an isolated incident. I only trust brands with a reputation of impartiality, NPR and BBC. And then I check Wikipedia to see if there is a consensus that matches BBC or NPR, if so, then the likelihood of the truth is high.
    1
  1597. Brother Spartacus Wikipedia is edited by dozens of authors, meaning it’s unlikely that a right winger like you is hijacking the news. It’s trustworthy and I use it to check against the educated experts at BBC and NPR. If they all line up, then their coverage is likely accurate.
    1
  1598. Brother Spartacus I don’t trust Wikipedia or any news blindly. I check multiple and compare. I will never trust individual accounts made by those with an axe to grind, like right wingers who deny the existence of racism time and time again
    1
  1599. Brother Spartacus ever heard of the saying “facts have a liberal bias”? It means that the liberals are the politics of truth and solving problems, and right wingers are the politics of lies and shady agendas. See Trump, Climate Change Deniers, and the Brexiters as examples of right wing liars who hurt people for personal gain. I trust BBC and NPR for politics because they have a reputation for neutrality, facts, and zero sensationalism and fear mongering, unlike CNN, Fox News, etc. I don’t trust randos on YouTube who show brief footage because the footage may not be the big picture.
    1
  1600. Brother Spartacus How exactly do I prove that BBC or NPR is biased? Please explain how my beliefs, which no one in BBC knows about, makes them biased.

  1630. David Herron If Putin cared about civil rights he would stop stealing money from Russians, stop the corruption, stop the hateful wars of aggression in Georgia, Ukraine, and Moldova. And he would lay out a plan to liberalize Russia if it wasn’t truly ready. He hasn’t done this, he continues to hurt and cheat people. He’s a rotten man who deserves to get justice
    1
  1631. David Herron Likewise US had zero, ZERO to do with starting the Syrian Civil War, it was Assad who prompted mass defections to the FSA after he killed protesters in the Arab Spring. As for Libya, it was European states which initiated the war, then they asked the US for help as they lost control. Gaddafi was a bad man who was hated and he deserved what he got. Libya now is improving beyond the cancer. Putin deserves the Gaddafi treatment for all the people he has hurt
    1
  1632. David Herron where is the proof for all of those Pro-Russian statements
    1
  1633. David Herron Arab Spring was instigated by the West? Then why did the citizens in dozens of nations protest for democracy? And why in Syria did the a portion of the Syrian Military defect? And how can Gaddafi be a good leader when NGO reports like the Democracy Index listed Libya as authoritarian under his rule?

They force Israel to build settlements, to build barrier walls, and to blockade Gaza Strip.
    1
  1649.  @adamm2909  Israel is justified to take defensive action against Palestine because Palestine started wars and terrorism, plus Israel is democratic and morally superior to Palestine which is a regime. Russia is a corrupt regime and has no justification to take action against Ukraine

  1666.  @pattheegreat  I’d like to see how well you interview about complex political questions. Don’t judge people by how charismatic they are. Judge them by their policies and promises. Biden’s policies have been good so far, he’s overseen mass vaccination which Trump failed to organize.

  1667.  @watchvidjedi  I’m curious why you think Obama was the same as Bush? Maybe from another country like the UK, it’s hard to tell, but Bush and Obama had different policies. Obama’s 2-term legacy though was not defined by being post-Bush, it was defined as reinvigorating liberal ideas, such as renewed focus on fixing healthcare, racial injustice, police brutality, fighting Climate Change, environmentalism, focus on gun control, and a more muted but still assertive foreign policy. I think Obama was great overall. His legacy is also defined by fighting against uncooperative, dishonest, doublespeak and slanted lies from Republicans, especially Republicans in Congress like Paul Ryan, Newt Gingrich, Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, and personalities like Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity. People who lie and push identity politics and fear instead of owning up to truths like climate change and gun control, or who play a game of gaslighting by stalling Democrats’ agenda, then later, and on their own news bubbles like Fox News, claiming Obama and the Democrats were ineffective and blaming them for Republican-obstruction.

  1668.  @ronan8834  Trump didn’t have a backbone at all. He sold out Afghanistan and started the withdrawal.

    1
  1676. Mr. Hyde well I guess you can call this whatever you like. But the word crisis means something dire and disturbing. Illegal immigration doesn’t affect most people personally, so it’s not a crisis. And the wall isn’t the answer we need. It’s longer and more expensive than anything ever built before. It’s also unnecessary, because migrants aren’t dangerous. Most could pass legal vetting if they were allowed. But the GOP has an interest in keeping them out and making legal immigration difficult.
    1

  1693.  @NarnTheSeaboo  Where to begin? Laws like the Patriot Act were passed and discussed since the War on Terror began, so you are flatly wrong that government spying was a secret. Secondly, Quartz wrote an article in 2013 saying that government-mass surveillance of phone calls has prevented terrorist acts in the US from occurring. This is proof that the government spying is good. Thirdly, secrets are ok for the government to keep from the public. Proof of this is that multiple articles from press like The Independent and ABC News wrote articles saying that the leaks caused by Snowden damaged national security by helping cruel dictatorships like Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, etc counter the USs’ and its allies’ spying methods. Secret agents within several countries had their covers blown because of Snowden as well, and had to be evacuated, plausibly some were caught and imprisoned or executed.
    1
  1694.  @NarnTheSeaboo  I think it’s not a big deal that the government keeps secrets, I don’t know why you care. The government keeps secrets all the time, like your SS Number, or keeps weapons research secret from Taliban and China. Sometimes secrets are good. Secondly, you claim that the US is corrupt, but NGO reports like the CPI and Democracy Index don’t say so, they say the US is a non-corrupt nation. So you are wrong according to educated people

The Republican Party repeats lies, their media allies on tv and social media ensure that opposing viewpoints-which includes the truth-are not seen by their base, which means that we a have a party which believes in anti-science, anti-vax, and denies Climate Change, all because the right wing promotes fringe conspiracy theories. Think about that, half of this country, 150+ million people, believe in lies, promoted solely by lying politicians, who believe these lies, though harmful to the country and to the voters themselves, are useful ways to get elected and drum up the base.

ISIS is better than Saddam, because ISIS is weak and Saddam was strong. Overall Iraq has improved, especially in Iraqi Kurdistan. US can’t invade all nations that are dictators, but Iraq was a better candidate because Iraq was isolated and was a threat in the past

  1733. Anthony Burke the US never invaded South Vietnam, US was invited for defense and counterinsurgency. The US entered South Korea for defense. North Korea deserved the invasion for attacking South Korea and for being a dictatorship. Not all nations are equal

  1734. Anthony Burke Is there proof that the US deliberately targeted civilians in Iraq? Furthermore ISIS is less dangerous than Saddam. Saddam was waging the Kurdish Genocide and was killing thousands of Iraqi dissidents every year. Now that Saddam is gone, Iraq is safer. Iraqi Kurdistan is democratic, and Southern Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan are mostly free of ISIS and safe. Only parts of Iraq are dangerous. Overall, US invasion is an improvement due to the better government and the ending of genocides. Protests in the US are never disrupting the US as a whole. We are a nation of 330 million, and protests are almost always a sliver of the population beneath average people’s notice. US is not on fire US also doesn’t invade KSA or other allied regimes because they’re not supporting terrorism or expansionism, unlike Russia, Iran, China, or Baathist Iraq
    1
  1735. Anthony Burke the US never supported the Kurdish Genocide. US is a modern military that doesn’t need to target civilians to obtain its ends. And My Lai was illegal and punished in US courts, so what’s your point exactly
    1
  1736. Anthony Burke Nothing wrong with waging proxy wars against your enemies like Iran. And I still see no proof that the US has killed 1 million civilians, I think you are bending the truth to win arguments online. The commanding officer of My Lai was punished according to the laws that have existed since before the war began. I don’t see the problem with following established law. Why would the US execute its soldiers? Furthermore the civilians at My Lai were not as innocent as you presume. They were helping the Viet Cong who were terrorists killing people. That makes the villagers culpable.
    1
  1737. Anthony Burke I quickly looked on Wikipedia and it claims that 100,000 total civilians died. Furthermore Iran under Khomeini was not a nice country, it was regressive and tyrannical. It wasn’t a nation worth sympathizing. It’s regrettable that civilians die, but that’s what they deserve for choosing to live in a war zone or supporting the Iranian regime. The Iraqi civilians who died, died due to criminals and militias. The US and the new Iraqi Provisional Government considered them enemies. It was never the US’s intention to kill civilians. Given the progress Iraq has made, the ends justify the sacrifices. As for My Lai, the civilians were aiding the Viet Cong, so they’re not fully innocent And it’s not comparable to Nazi war criminals because My Lai Massacre was retaliatory, it was unplanned, it was condemned by American leadership, and it was in response to Viet Cong murders. It would be wrong to execute anyone for killing the villagers when the villagers deserved some punishment.
    1
  1738. Anthony Burke that lovely Wikipedia article confirms that the village was the source of Viet Cong activity. So it means the villagers deserved their fate to an extent. They shouldn’t have been helping the Viet Cong, who were targeting and killing civilians as a matter of strategy. If you oppose the US, you should also oppose the Viet Cong
    1
  1739. Anthony Burke a better question to ask, is why were the Viet Cong using human shields and hiding among civilians. If the Viet Cong weren’t waging war and terrorism then My Lai would never have been attacked.

  1740. Munde Rex saying Iraqis lived better under Saddam, is like some Germans lived better lives under Hitler. Even if true, they don’t deserve to prosper at the expense of others. Iraqis who miss Saddam deserve what they get. Iraqis who died in the Iraq War were not directly attributed to US forces and died due to sectarian violence. The US considered this a problem which is why they stayed to maintain order in Iraq
    1
  1741. Munde Rex Some Iraqis benefited from the US invasion, others suffered. Regions of Iraq like Iraqi Kurdistan prospered the most. Minorities like the Kurds and Marsh Arabs benefited. The Arab majority suffered a lot. But as the US continues to give money to Iraq, the country is steadily improving and will probably develop in the coming decades. Overall Iraq now has a flawed democracy and Iraqi Kurdistan has a better democracy. And the murders, wars, and genocides are over. So that’s an appreciable improvement the US made in Iraq. Those who suffered now don’t matter in the big picture, especially because they don’t deserve to prosper at the expense of minorities.
    1
  1742. Munde Rex Why would anyone care about the rights of the Arab majority when they were the ones perpetuating the hate and discrimination? They deserved to suffer. And you cannot ignore the progress of Iraqi Kurdistan, and despite your claim the Peshmerga are not terrorists.
    1
  1743. Munde Rex Palestinians deserve what Israel gives them, as punishment concession for the wars and terrorism they started. And you should appreciate the progress and money that the US gives Iraq, and the democratic reforms that the US provided, and stopping the genocides by the Baathists. If after all this you consider Saddam better for Iraq, then you prioritize murder and genocide over nationbuilding. US wants Iraq to prosper, and the progress is good steps towards that goal

  1744. Munde Rex Did Israel commit any atrocities? The country is developed and is democratic, it doesn’t target civilians. It targets terrorists and militaries

Again in 2014, Russia stole Crimea from Ukraine started the War in the Donbas. Germany didn’t do a thing in protest. German engineers were happily working away on Nordstream 2 pipeline, knowing full well Russia was killing Ukrainians and Georgians in its blood wars. Germany doesn’t care.

Hamas regularly uses human shields, regularly stores and fires weapons like rockets from civilian infrastructure, regularly hides personnel and materials inside civilian buildings. This is what the military situation demands. And the Gazans by and large deserve it all. Sucks for this girl, but she is colateral damage, and it’s ultimately Hamas’s fault for starting all the wars that it was involved in, including this one. Do remember, there was no blockade on Gaza until they started the terrorism around 2007. Before then, Israel let Gaza be free and independent.

  1849.  @oiho8351  Wikipedia articles on such topics are good places to start. I’m surprised I need to prove basic facts like Chinese support of North Korea in the Korean War, or support of the VC and NVA in the Vietnam War. You can also look up on Wikipedia the 3 communist insurgencies in the Philippines, the Malayan Emergency, and the more recently, Maoist terrorists in Nepal, and the Taliban. The Wikipedia article Sino-Third World Relations is also interesting.

    1
  1854.  @jasemalkhaleel7122  shockingly, right to life is more important than property rights. In no state is it legal to use lethal force to defend your property. Don’t devalue life. Even people who may be rioting, etc have a right to not get killed.

Canada does the same thing with Cuba. US wants Canada to cut Cuba out. Canada whines about how Cuba isn’t all that bad, and how the positive Canada-Cuba relations enable Cuba to liberalize over time. However, unlike Canadians, the US/West has strategic reasons to be friendly toward Saudi Arabia, mostly concerning combating terrorism and policing the Middle East

Gaza is blockaded by Egypt and Israel because its government, Hamas, are literal terrorists who started wars and terrorism prior to the blockades. They still do that now, even with the blockade, but they’re at least being hindered. The blockade will end when Gaza Strip chooses to be peaceful. It’s not a prison.

  1883.  @silveriver9  that is true, right wing extremism is hurting the US led global alliance, however China is also a threat, especially to US allies nearby, and they are exploiting our voters’ apathy and right wing principles to get away with bad actions that make the world less safe.

It’s about security guarantees, ending attacks and threats, and a bit of lust for land and territory, namely, East Jerusalem and parts of the West Bank. But hey, Israel is entitled after they started wars and stuff.

  1945. @Daniel De saint malo Palestine/TransJordan had all the territories in dispute with Israel in 1967. They had the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip. Didn’t matter, Palestine and TransJordan plus others still launched a war against Israel, the Six Day War, when Israel seized as recompense East Jerusalem, Gaza Strip, and the West Bank from TransJordan, the Golan Heights from Syria, and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt. At this point, TransJordan abandoned any claim to the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, and declared it all to be Palestine. TransJordan only surrendered it when it became convenient to do so, and they have no moral rights to exist since they are warmongers who spun off from a losing side of a war.

  1948.  @ayoungethan  just seems childish of you. do you have proof US is run by corporations? Or that the US destabilizes democracies and dictatorships alike? Alike means the same, by the way. I don’t think the US treats democracies the same as regimes. Your entire comment is baseless

  1950.  @xxJOKeR75xx  I just hope you reflect and appreciate the irony. Online, people say “US is addicted to oil/US steals oil” even though the US never stole oil, and doesn’t prop up rogue states. Germany seems hypocritical from where I stand. They gave Russia billions of USD and enabled the Russian war machine for decades, as early as 2008 when Russia invaded Georgia it should’ve been clear that change was needed. Yet Germany did nothing for 15 years, not even in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea and started the War in Donbas did Germany do anything proactive. To me, Germany seems like the bad guy addicted to oil. Not the US.

And according to Vanity Report, Trump willfully let the virus spread unchecked in the US, because he correctly assumed that coastal cities, would get hit first, and thought this would embarrass the Democrats.

Israel would’ve been happy to leave the borders before the pallies and their allies started the Six Day War of 1967. But after all the wars, terrorism, and zero apologies from Palestine, there is no trust or entitlement for Palestinians to have anything

  2026.  Beowulf Battenberg  they’re not running away only 2500 US service members have been killed in the War in Afghanistan, compared to almost 100k Taliban, they could’ve stayed but Trump and later Biden decided that the long term commitment was not worthwhile.
    1
  2027.  @cheezyworm3915  it’s a relatively small amount and was worth it to save the millions of Afghans from Taliban cruelty
    1
  2028.  Beowulf Battenberg  I suspect that even if zero Americans were killed, the mentality of the US would not change. Biden articulated that the US is withdrawing because Afghanistan is a cost sink, and the US is needed in Asia and Europe to counter Russia and China. That’s not the same as running away due to taking casualties. I suggest you go to college. Have fun being poor
    1
  2029.  Beowulf Battenberg  Taliban won because they are fanatics and brainwashed, they and all the poor degenerates who sign on with them. They are cruel, horrible, unintelligent people. They won because they are irrational and didn’t see that fighting is against their self interests.

  2037.  Mooda malyaar  where is your evidence?
    1
  2038.  Mooda malyaar  the people want a government that stones people, denies the right to vote, forces women under house arrest (especially in urban areas), and supports terrorism? Anyone who supports the Taliban and is ok with subjecting themselves plus others to their cruelty is brainwashed and dangerous. Anyone who supports terrorists like the Taliban should be swept up with the Taliban and discarded.
    1
  2039.  Mooda malyaar  firstly, even if it’s true that the US killed 1 million Afghans that doesn’t excuse the Taliban for their cruelty or make them less deserving of retaliation by the US and Afghan government. Secondly, where is the proof US purposefully killed any Afghan civilian? Thirdly, the modern Afghan government was created by Afghans, it was not forced on them by a foreign power as you claim. The Northern Alliance is the precursor to the modern Afghan government and they were Afghans. Fourthly, US never placed terrorists into Afghanistan to fight the Soviets, US helped the Muj fight the Soviets, and the Muj weren’t terrorists. The NA split off from the Muj, so the Muj had a powerful liberal wing and weren’t terrorists. Lastly, Taliban allowed Al-Qaeda to commit international terrorism, namely 9/11 but other additional attacks around the world. And they were cruel despots to their own Afghan civilians. US government and most nations believe that Al-Qaeda was responsible for the terrorism. Taliban’s refusal to handover Osama Bin Laden and al-Qaeda members made them complicit and morally expendable.
    1
  2040.  Mooda malyaar  where is the proof of any of this? The Wikipedia articles on Afghanistan, the Northern Alliance, the Taliban, the Afghan Civil War between the Taliban and NA, and the Soviet Afghan War all disagree with you. If you’re going to make outrageous claims like the Taliban is good, and the US killed millions of Afghans, prove it with sources or shut your mouth

  2083.  @magnus7857  US is democratic and there is a big difference between torturing known terrorists, and innocent civilians a la China, and Russia. As for Saudi Arabia, the US and others have punished KSA for killing the journalist, and KSA didn’t start the Yemeni Civil War, it was Iran and the Houthi Rebels.

US only targets bad guys who deserve their fate

  2114.  @bolasblancas420  so what you’re saying is it’s ok to break the law if you are poor? That’s silly. These farmers should stop growing and selling ingredients used mostly to make addictive and illegal drugs. They are enabling the drug trade and destroying lives. They have no excuse for their poverty.

  2115.  @robinsss  Coca leaves by themselves are not a problem. However, the farmers (often gangsters themselves, most likely) are producing coca not for their safe and cultural use, but to be refined into drugs, like cocaine and crack. Not only do the drugs destroy their users, but their trafficking creates a violent and costly drug war, domestically in Columbia or Bolivia, and abroad to where the drugs are exported, like the US, Canada, or other Latin American nations. cocaine is addictive, psychoactive, poisonous, illegal, and expensive. It ruins lives and destroys body and mind of its users, often leading them to prison or ruinous decision making.

Bush famously stated “Islam is peace” and accepted thousands of refugees from Bhutan and Nepal. He did not steal from the nation or conduct character assassinations of rivals. Bush was a force for good in the world and didn’t abandon allies like Trump.

  2156. Admiral Ackbar’s adopted son None of those nations were innocent, they all were dictatorships and warmongering. The world is better off without corrupt regimes

  2157. Admiral Ackbar’s adopted son so there is no moral equivalence

  2158. Admiral Ackbar’s adopted son Venezuela was not a democracy under Chavez or his successor Maduro, you can read NGO reports to see. As for Iran...idk about that but the Shah was also secular and liberal.
    1
  2159. Admiral Ackbar’s adopted son The Iranian theocracy definitely does not care about its people since it’s one of the most corrupt and least developed nations on Earth according to NGO reports. Ditto for Venezuela under Chavez and Maduro. There is no moral equivalence between the US and dictatorships. Dictatorships should be invaded and destroyed for the good of humanity. Also, US is indeed democratic, the NGO reports don’t lie
    1
  2160. Admiral Ackbar’s adopted son The stats don’t lie. China, Russia, Iran, they are all nations which oppress people. I don’t know why you’re getting defensive, you are an innocent person who the regimes would have no problem killing. KSA at least is allying with the US and isn’t exporting terror or committing like Iran and China
    1
  2161. Admiral Ackbar’s adopted son The rebels in Syria like the FSA and SDF are not extremists. Women fight in the SDF without any head coverings, they can’t be extremists. China is genocidal against its own people especially in Tibet and East Turkestan. Iran being better is nothing special. Speaking of, if you read NGO reports like the Democracy Index you will see that Iran is an authoritarian regime. And therefore Iran is one of the least developed nations on Earth, along with fellow regimes Russia and China. Any country in Europe and or the Americas is more developed.

    1
  2257. Billy Bob the solution to better schools is to copy the winners like Massachusetts and that requires disavowing broken ideas promoted by others. It is not to trust unproven methods like school choice or curbing unions

  2260. Billy Bob That just means that they should copy the winners like Massachusetts, Finland, and other Western “leftist” nations.

  2306. Peter Gama the Democracy Index and CPI proves that the elected officials do care. If they didn’t care then the NGOs wouldn’t rate nations like France or the US so highly. I’m sure they’re trying their best to alleviate poverty, but the people need to accept blame and get educated for the new job market

  2314. Phill With an F couple things US isn’t suppressing the right to healthcare, the voting public is electing officials who do not support universal healthcare. The people are choosing to not pursue healthcare and they can change their minds, so it’s not oppression. Secondly the US never killed 500,000 Iraqis, they died as a result of banditry and crime, not the US’s fault. And more were saved anyways because the US ended the Kurdish Genocide and gave the Kurds Iraqi Kurdistan as a homeland.

  2318. Phill With an F how would the Allies ever win WWII with you in charge? Bombing cities was ok even though civilians were killed. Nothing wrong with killing people if it serves a purpose

    1
  2363.  @jakebhenry2228  all the provocations have come from Gaza and the West Bank, not from Israel. All the wars were started by Palestinians and their allies. The Gazans also brought the blockade on themselves, as sanctions against Hamas who came to power since 2007 and exported violence and terror to Israel. Hamas is also an Iranian proxy and the PA view it as a fifth column, which is why Egypt and West Bank contribute to the blockade and the destruction of Hamas and their allies like the so-called Islamic Jihad
    1
  2364.  @jakebhenry2228  there is no proof that Israel oppresses anyone. The Palestinians are nationalistic and brainwashed to hate Israelis and Jews, hence why they helped start 3 wars and 2 Intifadas, along with countless terrorist acts. In my opinion, the fair and just thing for Israel to do is to dismantle the PA and Hamas. Both are hostile dictatorships that start wars against Israel, and Hamas is regarded as a terrorist group by most developed nations. 3 wars and 2 Intifadas are enough, they should be dismantled.

    1
  2386.  @isaacw1752  the reason why Taiwan technically still claims all of Taiwan, Mainland China and Mongolia, is because that was the claim asserted by the ROC, and to renounce this claim would suggest Taiwan is a sovereign nation. That would enrage PRC. So ironically, maintaining an old sweeping claim to China is adhering to the One China Policy, and is an appeasement to the PRC.
    1
  2387.  @tylerruff6302  this claim on the Qing Dynasty or whatever, is not serious. Ironically, it is to appease the PRC. Because for Taiwan to renounce this claim, would suggest that Taiwan is in fact exercising its sovereign rights, and is not apart of the PRC, nor party to the One China Policy. Renouncing the ROC, or any of its traditional claims, would anger the PRC and provoke a hostile response.

  2393.  @mrharry448  where’s the proof Israel kills kids and civilians on purpose? Why would Israel do that? What would be the point? Secondly, Israel only occupies the West Bank because Israel was invaded multiple times since its foundation in 1948. Where do you live? Imagine your country was not only invaded once by your neighbor, but multiple times in the past 70 years, meaning you could see your country invaded by hostiles multiple times before you turn 50. And this doesn’t even consider the smaller attacks by militia and lone attackers. With all of that in mind, you can appreciate why Israel is reluctant to give any land to Palestine. I think Israel should be even more harsh than it is already.
    1
  2394.  @jamesdevlin6373  Israel doesn’t target civilians on purpose, and there’s no evidence of stealing.

Because China is a regime, it is the moral duty for everyone to combat it and free the people, as regimes are inherently corrupt and evil. 3. Therefore Joshua Wong is a hero with a good cause. Anyone who fights him is either pro dictatorship or has settled for one. Neither are good outcomes.

Secondly, Israel will never agree to hand over East Jerusalem the few settlement-cities like Ariel, which comprise the greater Jerusalem metropolitan area.

  2498.  @The_TRUTH_or_Nothing  the Republican Party is the Party of Trump, it controls about half the US, and it’s full of unscrupulous politicians who stoke fears right wing voters as a means to get elected. As an example, Republicans are now anti-vax, the leaders know better but a large percentage do not, and the Republicans are completely fine with Americans dying from COVID-19 if it means they can virtue signal their anti-mandate views and get elected off it.

  2499.  @lovingeachothernow Germany is a selfish nation run by greedy people. Why didn’t Germany divest itself from Russian oil in 2008, after Putin attacked Georgia? Why didn’t Germany do anything in 2014, after Putin annexed Crimea and started the War in Donbas? Germany is selfish and greedy.
    1
  2500.  @lovingeachothernow it took German 15 years to finally decide to cut Russia off. And not even entirely at that. Russia invaded Georgia in 2008, Germany didn’t care. Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, and started a long term insurgency in the Donbas/Crimea. Germany didn’t care, in fact Germany deepened ties with the Nordstream 2 Pipeline. Finally Germany does something now, almost 1 year since Putin launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine, instead of just Crimea and the Donbas regions. So you see, Germany is addicted to Russian oil, and is greedy and selfish. US and Eastern Europe have told Germany and other nations to appreciate the Russian threat and cut off Russian oil, Germany was selfish and naive, and laughed at the idea publicly in the UN.
    1
  2501.  @Dungshoveleux you’re totally correct. US has been telling Germany for years since Putin invaded Georgia and later Ukraine, to cut off Russian energy. Germans balked at the idea, now, too little too late from Germany. Selfish nation full of oil addicts

  2540. @glit ch I am familiar with that video, and it was an accident. Accidents happen in a warzone, it’s not evidence of the US systemically hurting Iraqis.

    1
  2541.  @kiroslepoto  I don’t like my own comments someone else did. And Assange is in fact a stooge for regimes. He helped Trump win in 2016 by releasing slanted and secretive material and framing Clinton in a negative light. This allowed Trump to win and destabilize the US.

  2573.  @samihade2853  here’s a question for you. Look up how much Israel spends on its military most other years. As well as what percent of GDP and its military budget is comprised of foreign aid. You’ll see Israel is capable of self-sufficiency and this common argument is just an emotional tear down against Israel fighting Palestine
    1
  2574.  @samihade2853  any proof for this very severe accusation that without foreign aid, Israel would “crumble”. That’s a tall claim. If Israel lost some or all the aid they likely would just fund the rest themselves. Or make cuts elsewhere. Neither of which are “crumbling”. Secondly. Look up how much Israel spends on its military, and compare to the amount received from the US.

Unlike Russians, they aren’t intimidating their neighbors, nor are they propping up dictators in the Middle East, launching air strikes on civilians, or killing thousands in wars of aggression like in Ukraine or Georgia. Russia is a horrible country that deserves to be stopped. Its soldiers should all be killed or captured. Putin should be hung.

China supports war corruption and terrorism. China has no diplomatic allies and has never built one democracy, US allies are all democratic due to nationbuilding during the Cold War
    1
  2775. @PGR7 US dropped bombs on North Vietnam and VC strongholds but it was not enough. US should’ve invaded North Vietnam if possible, to defeat the government and secure South Vietnam’s safety. They feared a war with China however similar to the Korean War, and the lack of public support for conscription meant that any buildup against the Viet Cong was slow and easily anticipated
    1
  2776.  @jeffmoore9487  just by quickly reading the Wikipedia article on the 1954 Geneva Conference, plus my prior knowledge, I have some points to make. Firstly, there is no moral equivalence with democracies and regimes, US was democratic and its allies were democratic or were under the gradual drift to democracy, for example South Korea and Taiwan were authoritarian but became democratic as decades passed under US guidance. Given that South Vietnam did not survive the Vietnam War, and the modern Vietnam is a legacy of the authoritarian North Vietnam, I think it’s logical to conclude that had South Vietnam survived the Vietnam War, it would’ve been like South Korea and Taiwan; prosperous, rich, and democratic sooner or later. That makes the US morally superior to North Vietnam, China, the Soviet Union, and other regimes. Secondly, the US had good reason to intervene in South Vietnam. China and the Soviets had previously sponsored communist terrorists in US allies like the Philippines, Malaysia, South Korea, and Indonesia. The Soviets also stole most of Eastern Europe, started the Korean War via North Korean invasion, and always were corrupt despots. This is further proof of the communist regimes’ moral inferiority to the West, and evidence that South Vietnam was the next target for expansion. So US was right to defend South Vietnam, it was soon to be under attack.
    1
  2777.  @jeffmoore9487  none of this changes the fact that the US had the better plan for Vietnam than the communists did. US allies like Taiwan, South Korea, even poorer nations like the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia are all rated by NGOs like the CPI richer and less corrupt than communist Vietnam. Isn’t this proof that the US and South Vietnam are morally better than North Vietnam existing and/or annexing South Vietnam? Wikipedia also says that 800k North Vietnamese fled to the South to escape Ho Chi Minh’s communist regime, and as much as 2 million would’ve if not for the Viet Minh terrorizing and blocking refugees from making the crossing to the South. Seems like more evidence that the North Vietnamese and VC were wrong and deserved to be defeated.
    1
  2778.  @jeffmoore9487  the US wasn’t fighting to conquer anyone, it was fighting to preserve the nation of South Vietnam. To me this seems like a sensible goal
    1
  2779.  @jeffmoore9487  isn’t it also your goal to do nothing and let South Vietnam be taken over by North Vietnam? That is also a goal affecting millions of people. Nobody ever even agreed with you, they tried to do something.

It’s a little trite to say so, don’t you think? Even if Lee and the Confederacy were anti-slavery somehow, they would still be wrong to support the Confederate cause. Lee was advocating for a war which killed hundreds of thousands of Americans, he sent real living people to die in a war that they started, based on their personal politics. Secession from a democracy because you’re unsatisfied with the results of said democracy, is always wrong. And Lee shouldn’t have supported war and death over it.
    1
  2799.  @cruzthesasquatch  even ignoring slavery, Lee helped the Confederates fight a war of aggression. He consented to a war which killed hundreds of thousands of people, and consented to starting violence in the name of states’ rights. That’s not a good person, that’s a war provocateur.

  2958.  @allandill2033  if they were as bad as the Aztecs, then yes. If not, then they didn’t, and it was tragic. Simple as I see it. On the whole however, the Old World was right to colonize the New World, the Old World was more developed and therefore had a greater moral right to the resources.
    1
  2959.  @eattherich9215  all nations in the New World are the product of Old World colonization. And that means all technology, democracy, absence of human sacrifices and hunter gatherer and subsistence farming, are due to the colonization. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather live in the timeline with colonization (modern, wealthy, and peaceful) than without colonization (poor, primitive, and destructive).
    1
  2960.  @allandill2033  there’s no proof that the Indians would’ve developed past the Stone Age without colonization. Why were they always behind the Old World since antiquity?
    1
  2961.  @nickg.3741  things would be poorer, less developed, and the Internet wouldn’t exist
    1
  2962.  @nickg.3741  the point is, Western World was advancing very fast, the world we live in now is mostly a legacy of the Western World, and the alternative to colonization would be continuing to dwell in a non-industrial Stone Age society of the New World
    1
  2963.  @nickg.3741  here’s a few facts, throughout all of recorded history, the New World never made it past the Bronze Age. And there’s no indication that if they were not colonized by the Old World, that they would make it on their own. Fact. Therefore, the technology, industry, wealth, developed economy, etc that colonization brought, were net positives. I don’t support the cruelty towards innocents, but I still believe that the outcomes of colonization were overall positive. After all, if not for colonization, no nation in the New World would exist, not a single one. And are you really suggesting that the all the people barring Natives in the US, Canada, Mexico, etc should pack up and move back to Europe? Because if you truly believe that colonization was bad, this is the only natural consequence.
    1
  2964.  @ringsofblayze4026  The British, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, French, none of these Colonia empires were as bloodthirsty as say, the Aztecs. Therefore, they are morally superior.

  2965.  @andrew30m  I’m glad you agree that the Salem Witch Trials and the Spanish Inquisition are bad. You are aware then that the New World nations were much more bloodthirsty and violent than the colonizers, right. Therefore, if you are against violence, you should support colonization because it dismantled violent nations.
    1
  2966.  @jadedwitness9840  bro, the US was heavily colonized by around 1600. In only 2 hundred years, the Old World, including their New World colonies, went from subsistence agriculture, to the Industrial Revolution. 1 hundred more years they put people in space and on the Moon, USSR and US respectively. Do you really think that the Indians, if left undisturbed and uncolonized, would’ve been making iPhones and walking on the Moon in only 400 years since 1600? Absolutely not. The culture and geography of the New World was not conducive for technological development. The New World is only as developed as it is because it was colonized. That’s better for the people everywhere even if they don’t appreciate it. And the Old World was only able to develop because of colonization. There was no feasible way to prosper and grow without colonizing. Unless there’s proof to the contrary.

    1
  2969.  @nickg.3741  here’s a simple demonstration for you. The Thirteen Colonies were heavily settled by the British around 1600. Already at this point, the Western World had better technology and science than the Indians. The West could build ships which could be sailed around the world, Western engineers could build roads, bridges, multistory apartment buildings, there was a banking sector, the Indians had none of these, generally speaking. And that’s all just from early 1600s. In 200 years, there would be the the Industrial Revolution in the UK, the rest of the West shortly later. 150 more years, they would send men to the moon. And never, not once, did the Indians independently advance pass their Bronze Age society. This is proof that the New World was largely stagnant, and the Old World/West was advanced, and therefore, it’s proof that colonization made the world more advanced and better. It eliminated poverty in the New World.

Lol sure. That would never have happened. Across millennia, the mightiest indigenous empires from the Olmecs, the Mayans, the Aztecs, the Incas, they were forever stagnant. The weaker ones were even less advanced. They had never developed as rapidly as the West, and they were never going to. That is what the history and facts have proven, demonstrably.

Lololo the Aztecs are the most imperialist and brutal civilization to ever exist arguably. No wonder all-ALL the other indigenous nations supported the Spanish-led war alliance to destroy them. Bud, let me spell it out, all the stuff you rag on European colonialists for, the Aztecs were doing way, way worse, and yes, they often were imperializing people around them too.

Even when the Democrats do wrestle control back, it is usually on slim margins, and anything they do will be scrutinized by the public and their political rivals. Therefore, while many on the left want change, the threat of being blamed for anything bad (logical or not), plus tight elections, means change won’t come.

  3025. Odi et Amo that is sexist. You are judging people based on their identity rather than their merits
    1
  3026. Odi et Amo no such thing as “masculine” or “feminine” behavior. All these gender roles you observe are the products of Western Europe for the past few generations. Men and women are not innately different.
    1
  3027. Jaber Tagi the Mosuo in Tibet are a matriarchal society where the women work hardest and labor in the fields with men. Different culture, different gender roles. Proof that men and women are not innately different.
    1
  3028. Jaber Tagi yes, but it proves that there is no big difference between men’s brain and women’s brains
    1
  3029. Odi et Amo but if women and men were predisposed to certain roles then we’d expect to find identical gender roles across history and cultures. And we don’t. Men and women’s expectations change based on time and culture. Proving that men and women are not innately different.
    1
  3030. Odi et Amo you don’t find the same roles. In some areas of the Middle East women have greater disparity than in the US. Is this because women are born to be more servile than men? Or is it because culture influences how humans behave?
    1
  3031. Jaber Tagi a person’s surroundings can be controlled or changed, for either men or women. But we should expose people to the best surroundings regardless of their gender. And dismantle limiting and arbitrary gender roles.
    1
  3032. Odi et Amo if they’re not arbitrary then why do gender roles vary across cultures?
    1
  3033. Odi et Amo not true because there are some matriarchal and egalitarian cultures such as the Mosuo in Tibet. Also the world has homogenized since Western culture dominates the media.
    1
  3034. Odi et Amo what about in past centuries when women and men both labored in fields together? No such thing as stay at home moms then. Proof that gender roles are arbitrary and men and women are products of their environment instead of genetics

    1
  3049.  @1mr4nmhsn83  Israel doesn’t target Palestinian civilians. The Palestinians killed are either legitimate military targets, human shields, or colateral damage in the fog of war, a war started largely by Palestine and other anti-Zionists. No moral equivalence here.

  3052.  @wolfwins7429  how was the Iraq War evil? Saddam Hussein was a genocidal leader, and the invasion was supported by Iraqi Kurds, the Marsh Arabs, educated city dwellers, and other oppressed groups. Their opinions matter more than the people benefiting from corrupt regime. They and all their supporters deserved to be invaded as punishment

Israel pushes back, by building settlements in the West Bank, tightening its grip on East Jerusalem, none of this would’ve happened had Palestine and other Anti-Zionists started the many wars against Israel since it was founded in 1948.

  3082.  @nathanlevesque7812  wtf man. Taliban is a shadow of its former strength due to US invasion
    1
  3083.  @nathanlevesque7812  The US should’ve remained fully and Taliban only has power because the US has withdrawn its forces, heeding the anti-war public in the US. Besides, before the US invaded the Taliban controlled more territory and most of the population centers. Now, the Afghan government which is progressive has the most power. And the US should stay to keep it that way.
    1
  3084.  @nathanlevesque7812  the Taliban do not deserve anything but hostility. The movement should disband, its members should surrender and face justice for their crimes, such as terrorism, genocide, drug and human trafficking, and tyranny, especially towards minorities and women. The US was morally right not to negotiate. Besides the Taliban cannot be trusted to act in good faith since they are all radicals and terrorists. They made no attempts at diplomacy or peace when they were in power, or after breaking away from the Muj and fighting against the US-backed Northern Alliance.
    1
  3085.  Light Endorphin  source and context? There is no way the Taliban are stronger than before the US invasion. Even if true that just means more money and troops are needed to defeat them
    1
  3086.  Light Endorphin  opinion pieces do not count. Secondly, the Taliban no longer have control over the large cities, and have to fight with the US and Afghanistan. That is a weaker position than before the US invaded, when they controlled most of Afghanistan and ruled openly.
    1
  3087.  Light Endorphin  whatever Googling I do does not change basic fact. The Taliban used to have most power, now they have little power. The Afghan government does not listen to the Taliban

  3088.  @aburoach9268  none of this makes sense. The Tet Offensive was a US and South Vietnamese victory
    1
  3089.  @aburoach9268  Tet Offensive was regardless a defeat for the NVA and VC. I don’t see how it shows US error or weakness when the US won the battle It’s also better that the Taliban are confined to the countryside instead of the cities. With enough time, troops, drone strikes, outreach, the Taliban will fall and its members will be defeated. Perhaps the villages they hide in should be dismantled and the people moved to Strategic Hamlets?

  3120.  Crypto U.K.  US and UK are democratic and morally superior to dictatorships like China and Russia. NGO reports say so
    1
  3121.  Crypto U.K.  you sound uneducated
    1
  3122.  Crypto U.K.  my advice to you is read the NGO reports and follow the law. US is morally superior to dictatorships and anything which harms dictatorships and their supporters is good,
    1
  3123.  Crypto U.K.  I don’t believe the US has ever overthrown a democracy. And I believe the US has done more to hurt dictators than help them. What examples?
    1
  3124.  Crypto U.K.  The Shah was secular and better for Iran. Allende was a Soviet stooge, and it was his own people who ousted him. Chile is now rich and democratic thanks to US overthrowing him, in fact, all Latin American nations which resisted US coups are poorer and more corrupt than those that underwent them. This is proof US is morally superior to its enemies. And proof I am right and you are wrong. None of those dictators were installed by the US. Consider them the least bad alternatives in a hostile region. Regarding the Iran Iraq War, when US backed Iraq, Henry Kissinger famously said “It’s a pity they both can’t lose”. US helped Baathist Iraq resist Iranian influence under the Ayatollah. Good, wasn’t it? They killed each other off.
    1
  3125.  Crypto U.K. The US is just to kill bad people, and the US only kills people who deserve it. Can’t you see? the people who support dictators are no different from people in Germany in WWII, they are wrong and can be discarded. If they prefer dictatorships, then they deserve to lose. They are inferior to the US and should be punished for supporting cruel regimes which oppose the US. nothing you said makes sense. The point is, the US from the Cold War onwards was justified, and you are trying but failing to find examples of the US being evil to satisfy your self worth. I demonstrated that the US was morally justified to overthrow coups and back dictators when the greater good called for it. And the NGO reports prove that the US in modern times morally superior to dictatorships like Russia and China.
    1
  3126.  Crypto U.K.  use your head. We know that in conflict, not all life is equal. Axis lives in WWII were morally inferior to Allied lives, because the Allies fought for a greater good, freedom, liberty, etc. So that said, we know that when it comes to US versus say Viet Cong, Iran, North Vietnam, North Korea, Russia, China, etc, US is morally superior because US fights for a greater good. To weaken corrupt dictatorships or bring them into US’s orbit so they can eventually democratize.
    1
  3127.  Crypto U.K.  Again where’s the proof US buries or commits war crimes systemically? You have never ever proven anything, just speculated. US is a non-corrupt nation according to NGO reports like the Democracy Index, so the US is able to address matters concerning its citizens without submitting itself to other, less reliable countries. None of this is proof Assange is right or that the US commits war crimes.
    1
  3128.  @walsidd  uh…let’s see…Assange broke the law and aided hostile terrorists and rogue dictatorships like the Taliban, Putinist Russia, and CCP China

  3129. The hope was that Afghanistan would NOT fall. The US and UK did not expect Afghanistan to fall so quickly.

Secondly, the US does not target civilians or put them in camps, China does, millions in only a few years. In comparison, US only sent a few hundred terrorists to Gitmo. US is far better at fighting terrorism justly. Secondly US supports democracy, US allies like South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, etc are all democratic and richer than China or Chinese allies like formerly Vietnam and North Korea.

  3139. Richard R The color of one’s skin, for better or worse, affects one’s upbringing and personal experience. Similar to consultants, a movie about blacks being discriminated against, like Boyz n the Hood benefits most from black perspectives. Anyone could’ve made that movie regardless of race, but by virtue of being black, you’re more likely to know what discrimination actually feels like, and therefore you’re better suited to make that movie.

  3155.  @mrvan3491  let’s see proof that this happened, and that the targets were innocent, and that if innocent, that this was not acceptable levels of collateral damage, necessary to win the war.
    1
  3156.  @mrvan3491  some collateral damage must be acceptable, otherwise the barrier to target enemies would be too high. Secondly, if the civilians are living among terrorists they can’t be that innocent, they could be supporters or terrorists themselves, it gets murky in irregular forces like the Taliban, which lack structure and clear membership. Lastly, US, like all democracies, takes precautions to prevent civilians from dying. But sometimes, like in WW2 when cities were bombed, collateral damage is necessary
    1
  3157.  @mrvan3491 you assume US and Taliban are morally equivalent, but they’re not. US is democratic and promotes civil rights, according to NGO reports like the Democracy Index. Taliban are cruel terrorists who hurt and kill women, dissidents, and minorities. They should all be defeated. US doesn’t do the bad things they do

As a result, those two countries have imposed a blockade on this country, for as long as it is hostile. It’s a prison of their own making.

However, Israel should not be expected to give citizenship to random Palestinians, who are mostly radicalized and uneducated. Adding that demographic to any nation would be tantamount to destruction, same reason why South Korea does not want to annex all of North Korea, and be responsible for millions of radicalized and uneducated North Koreans.

  3358.  Cris Rodrigo  those civilians did not die from US rockets or US bullets. They were killed by enemies of the US like the Taliban, or by the Iraqi Insurgency. How can you compare that to Russia which is striking directly at civilians? US never did that.
    1
  3359.  Cris Rodrigo  US never bombed civilians. You are saying a lie.
    1
  3360.  Cris Rodrigo  the BBC article makes no mention of US attacking civilians, so you’re wrong there. I can’t read the New York Times article because of the paywall, but what’s visible states that the target was hostile Syrian militants. Civilians were not the target, their death is regrettable but it was either an accident, or deemed acceptable collateral damage due to the importance of the targets. Furthermore the US is in Syria because of legitimate reasons of self defense and helping allies in Syria like the Kurds and rebels, Russia is not comparable at all. Russia targets civilians deliberately or avoids mitigations. Look up how often Russia kills civilians and compare that to the US. After adjusting for other factors like duration and scope of hostilities, you’ll see that Russia is worse in all ways than the US and its allies.
    1
  3361.  Cris Rodrigo  nothing in that article from Brown says that the US is targeting civilians or killing them in great numbers. You have not shown any proof for your claims. It makes me wonder why you are asserting a claim that is objectively not true. I assume you are emotional and offended at the idea of some countries like the US persecuting bad countries like Baathist Iraq and the Taliban. Maybe the idea of a just authority laying down the law makes you uncomfortable?

  3363.  Cris Rodrigo  are you reading the words right? Cite the phrase which says the US is killing civilians and include the relevant data. It’s not there. Secondly, why do you want dictatorships to exist? Dictatorships are bad because they abuse people. US is right to remove them and their supporters. Some Afghans, Syrians, and Iraqis are grateful for the US invasions and wanted the US to occupy and nationbuild. These people are more moral than their dictatorship supporting peers and are more justified.

US never attacked Syria, it is helping local rebels who are fighting extremist groups and the Baathist government under Assad. US never attacked Yemen, it is helping Yemen fight against extremists and Iranian-proxies like the Houthi Rebels, who started the Yemeni Civil War. US is justified always here.

The blockade helps reduce attacks, forcing them to use inferior equipment, to smuggle via the infamous tunnels, and reduces the amount of militia who can cross into Israel. The blockade is completely justified. What Israel needs now is to finish the job, enact regime change, do whatever it takes to pacify the Gaza Strip, even if that means widespread deportations and destruction of infrastructure.

  3476.  ibtissamdawood1497  retreating back to pre-1967 borders is folly. Israel will never agree. A two state solution is possible, but not on those terms. Firstly, Palestine has lost moral claims and legitimacy to East Jerusalem and the “consensus settlements” of nearby cities like Ariel. Those will all go to Israel in any agreement. Secondly, Israel is understandably concerned that the Palestinians in the West Bank will make war and terror if Israel pulls out and ends the occupation, as they did in the Gaza Strip. A good first step to build trust is for Palestine to apologize for the wars and terrorism it has committed.

Therefore...I must conclude that Southern Hospitality is not comparable to the coolness of the British

  3492. onlythewise1 no it’s not better. US leaders always avoided meeting with North Korea, for two reasons. 1. Meeting in publicly in person is more a formality than anything meaningful.

  3538. Andy Clarke comrade, BBC is not controlled by the government, but RT is. BBC is state-funded by a democracy, RT is state-funded by a regime. Russia does not care about any fallout. They didn’t care in Ukraine or with previous assassinations. They don’t care now. And if the British intelligence community reaches a conclusion, then we should trust them because they are professional and credible. Russia is a menace and needs to be stopped. The best way to do that is by turning the people against Putin, by revealing Putin to be weak and ineffective. Sanctions are trying to accomplish that, but it’s clearly not enough to stir the average Russian to action. Maybe something more intense, like escalating conflicts in Ukraine or Syria would do the trick. Sending more Russian soldiers home in body bags would send a strong message that the UK, US, and other Western countries are not to be trifled with.

Fair enough, but after Russia attacked Georgia and became more authoritarian, Russia under Putin ended all talks of peace.

In response, to the British withdrawal, Jordan annexed the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Jewish/Israeli civilians living there were deported and their land stolen. Now, Israel controls East Jerusalem since annexing it from Jordan since 1967, when Jordan and others started and lost the Six Day War of aggression against Israel. Israeli courts decided that Israelis who could prove that their homes were stolen by Palestinian squatters since 1948, could reclaim those properties as theirs.

Assuming you are not wrong, which is likely since you’re not an educated expert, if we need more green hydrogen, we can simply build more green power plants. Hydrogen can be green and can replace fossil fuels completely. Go to college before sharing your opinions
    1
  3613.  @Cryptlord9999  I don’t dispute that it takes more energy to produce hydrogen through electrolysis, than the energy you get out. I just say it’s irrelevant. However mathematically inefficient green hydrogen fuel cells are, it doesn’t matter. Renewable energy is limitless and so waste is unimportant. What matters is that hydrogen fuel cell is sustainable and adequate, and it is. A hydrogen powered car has equal or superior functions to electric cars. That means, hydrogen fuel cell is acceptable, despite its inefficiencies that you are hung up on. You may be thinking “why bother making hydrogen with electricity, even if it’s green electricity? Why not just use the electricity itself?”. Well, the reason why electrolysis-hydrogen fuel cells are good, is because hydrogen has some advantages over battery stored green energy. Cars using hydrogen fuel cell can be refueled as quick as gas cars, only a couple minutes, and much quicker than electric cars can recharge, which can take 20-minutes to an hour at most recharging stations. You have no proof that electrolysis is not practical

But, it’s unfair to say that the whole PMC or US is guilty because of the actions of a few individuals who acted against orders.

  3633. aQmohra Trump is changing the game that has been played for decades. Although Canada has some tariffs on American milk, for example, this is to level the playing field and protect Canadian dairy from being out-competed by American dairy. American dairy is much cheaper because Congress allocates tax-funded subsidies to dairy farmers. So as you can see, free trade is being screwed over by both the US and Canada.

  3659.  @Jem_Apple  no, because before Israel was formed, there were Jews from British Palestine living in East Jerusalem. When TransJordan annexed East Jerusalem and the West Bank region, those Jews were considered Israelis by Jordanians and Palestinians and were deported to Israel. But then in 1967 Israel fought and won the defensive Six Day War against Jordan, Palestine, plus other nations, and Israeli government believed that those Jordanian seizures of East Jerusalem were illegal and immoral. So Israel decided that those Israelis who could prove a title to those homes in East Jerusalem before 1950, can reclaim what was always theirs. It is not stealing per se.

  3819.  @DrEgonCholakian  Andrew Tate’s greatest ability is not to help young men directly, with advice, seminars, or handouts. What he did, was articulate the message that has been stirring in the minds of society, but never clearly articulated before, becuase of how novel and transformative it is. The idea that young women have substantial advantages over their young male peers, and don’t have to work as hard to obtain success, and are overall better positioned socially, was never said before, until Tate’s videos started going vitral. Now it’s a global discussion, and society is taking note, including mainstream experts, see the Male Loneliness Epidemic, for example. Or the oft-cited stat that ~30% of young women are single, while a whopping ~60% of young men are. Andrew Tate has been, wittingly or unwittingly, a terrific voice for men’s issues in the modern Internet era, that society has ignored for decades now.
    1
  3820.  @Xusemeh  oh but you’re wrong. Andrew Tate has been a great help to young men in the US. He has brought these topics of issues affecting men, into the mainstream. He has unified and articulated thoughts of frustration that millions of men were feeling, but never able to clearly form, becuase they’re too antithetical to what society has taught us, that women are traditionally oppressed, society is male dominated, women and men have equal problems…these are powerful and noble words, but they’re not the whole story. Men deal with a lot of pressures that women never have. And the mainstream never acknowledged them, becuase until Tate’s videos went viral, nobody was aware of their wider existence. But now, we’re talking about the male loneliness epidemic, we’re talking about the uneven playing field women have in dating and relationships, the lack of sympathy and respect for young men, the double standards that exist, giving benefit of the doubt to young women but not extended to young men. These issues are now being productively discussed, in part becuase of Andrew Tate and his viral short-form videos across YouTube, TikTok, and other social media.

    1
  3822.  @hmq9052  more than 60% of young men aged 18-30 are single in the US, and only 30% of women are. This is a big example of men being unhappy and overall just not cared about by society, not in the same way young women are. This has been trending for years due to the rise of social media, tech addiction, car dependent infrastructure, and particularly, online darting, which has changed how women view men and relationships. This painful loneliness epidemic among young men, and the double standards of society that make this aspect of life easy for women but difficult for men, was never before discussed in the mainstream until Tate’s short-form videos started going viral on YouTube, TikTok, AB’s other platforms. People are now reckoning that, despite the traditional obstacles and sexism that women have faced in the fast, new dynamics are in play, and some of them greatly favor women and oppose men.
    1
  3823.  @Xusemeh  what matters is the big discussion, it’s beyond who Tate is and what he has done personally since then. He was, to my knowledge, the first public figure back in 2022 or so, to publicly and boldly state that women have it easy and men don’t, in certain key areas of social lives, and we as a society are due to reckon with that. Nobody was discussing it before then, nobody had the courage or the fortitude to say that in some key areas, young women have it easy and men have it hard.
    1
  3824.  @Elle-elle-elle  self examination? When 60% of young men are single and only 30% of women are, what self-examination do you suggest the majority of young men, as young as 18, do? It’s very clearly a generational shift in how society works, saying that 2/3 of all young men, millions of them, are to blame for their own struggles, is a bit presumptuous and also, lacks self examination for women, who seem to think it must be men’s fault before themselves or anything else. But anyways, this isn’t a competition, and I consider myself a feminist too. Not everyone who resonates with Tate’s messages likes him personally or pays attention enough to social media to even know who he is.

    1
  3979.  @vannnee8503  false, Republicans have created these legal immigration bottlenecks, because it’s a way for them to block POC from immigrating with plausible deniability that it is due to racism. Congress could raise immigration quotas to let more migrants enter the US legally without lowering standards for current vetting. They don’t. Because they’re afraid of immigrants, they’re afraid of Latinos turning the Sun Belt into Democratic strongholds, which would break the Republican Party’s power.
    1
  3980.  @amandak3198  I upvoted you but this is all Republicans’ fault. They are the ones who pushed this xenophobia since the Reagan Era, and are the ones who block raising immigration quotas today. They fall back and say “come legally”, because that’s all they can say publicly. But that’s a rude, they’re not interested in having migrants come legally. What they really mean to say is they don’t like foreigners coming to America, and/or they don’t want liberal leaning voters coming to the US, because that would push the Democratic Party far ahead in elections.

And they can’t come out and say it openly without inviting ridicule for racism, so they dress it up as being against “illegal immigration”, despite the fact that they could easily end the problem of illegal immigration by letting everyone enter legally through vetting, which they will never entertain, because in their hearts they are xenophobic.

Either way, it isn’t the US’s fault those German civilians died, it was the German state’s fault for waging war and putting their people in harm’s way. That is what I have to say about the Iraqis who died in the Iraq War. US didn’t mean to kill them, and most of the times it was Iraqi bandits or Baathists which killed them.

  3999.  @theoutpost3608  the currently elected government considers the US an ally and so the people are represented to the extent the government is trustworthy. Admittedly not that much

  4000.  @theoutpost3608  it’s true Afghanistan is corrupt, but the US is democratically elected and its leaders are not corrupt according to NGO reports. So US is a good ally for Afghanistan and can help the nation develop

And if true, why does that mean the only other resort is nuclear energy?

It’s his fault, he is the main reason Taliban are back, if Hillary Clinton were President, none of this would happen. She also wouldn’t have been forced by Trump’s hand to abandon the TPP, so China has also benefited from Trump

  4035.  @crocodile2006  Trump is the one who made this deal, and he’s the one who for the past few years has made one-sided deals with the Taliban, and excluded the Afghan government at the Taliban’s request.

So it’s alright to get the vaccine

  4053.  @robinfaulkner9945  the longterm effects from contracting Covid-19 include lung scarring, brain damage, and anyone who gets seriously ill from virus is a drain on the state and hospitals system, taking money and space that could’ve been used for regular illnesses unrelated to Covid-19, like cancer and heart attacks. The Covid-19 vaccines are studied, are based on existing technology from other more obscure diseases and research, and unlike Covid-19, these vaccines have never caused brain damage and lung scarring.

  4068.  @Allen667sjja the US is complicated and compromised by a few things coming to a head. 1. Poor education is the norm, particularly in conservative states which poorly fund their schools. Leading to a lack of critical thinking and political awareness. 2. Poor economic outcomes for too many Americans, leaving them tired, angry, exhausted, overworked and underpaid. They become angry, and close minded, they blame others instead of themselves for their poor wages and mediocre lives, subconsciously they embrace reactionaries like Trump, and less notorious right wingers. They also don’t take vacations much, especially not abroad. Meaning they further lack exposure to other cultures, meaning they’re raised in their conservative bubbles. They would maybe be more against conservative policies if they saw how unpopular they are in other developed nations. 3. Trump and other right wingers are firebrands, marketing themselves as political outsiders. It’s an easy position to adopt. It’s hard to convince uneducated people that a trillion dollar debt is essential for the economy, or that more generally, big government is scary but it has an important role to play. It’s easier to just sell them on the notion that government is bad, but only where they’re looking publicly.

Trump put Biden and Afghanistan in a difficult position. I blame Trump more than Biden as a result

    1
  4143.  @teslacoils5881  do you have proof Israel invaded and colonized Palestine? Why do you assume so? Not all Israeli and Jews came from Europe after WW2. Furthermore, haven’t you heard of the Jewish Diaspora? It is the consensus of anthropologists and historians globally that, similar to how Tibet is the ancestral home of the Tibetan ethnic group, Israel is the ancestral home of the Israelites. Furthermore, when the British and others decolonized the Middle East, they set aside lands for local Arabs, the modern states of Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan. Why should the Jews be excluded?
    1
  4144.  @availableusername9101  the difference is, Israel doesn’t target civilians, and is fighting a justified defensive war against Anti-Zionist aggression. Palestine is the aggressor state, who started the Intifadas and other wars of aggression, and is a corrupt regime that deserves to lose.
    1
  4145.  @andresc1143  multiple other NGO reports like the Democracy Index and the Human Development Index rate Israel highly, and they are less steeped in controversy than Amnesty International. I challenge you to read sources more carefully. Before making judgments.

  4146.  @andresc1143  Israel is totally justified to build settlements and take land from Palestine, that’s what they deserve for starting their wars and Intifadas
    1
  4147.  @andresc1143  why does the Democracy Index rate Israel highly each year? And why do other NGO reports such as the Human Development Index? And why is Amnesty International using such loaded language without any regard for Israel’s security concerns, which are valid given that Palestine invaded Israel many times over the decades since 1948?
    1
  4148.  @ahmedessam2026  NGO reports like the Democracy Index, the Human Development Index, and Freedom House rate Israel highly, and all the wars were started by Palestinians, who were given their own nations by the British without controversy, unlike the Jews, who you refer to as colonists and imply the land wasn’t theirs.

  4156.  @billcarson818  the settler policy is justified, and it is primarily about settling annexed land that itself was annexed illegally-the West Bank-from Jordan. Settlers enable US Israel to annex strategically valuable land, and deprive it from enemies who would use it for wars.
    1
  4157.  @billcarson818  it is illegal, yes, but justified. Starting wars of and aggression and terror campaigns against Israel is also illegal, yet it keeps happening regardless. So is it wrong to annex land, yes, but justified? Also yes.

  4187.  @SadaK-tr6dm  months before? So what? They knew in vague terms an attack was coming, from Hamas, an entity that attacks them all the time. Not that significant or telling. Probably they assumed their defenses were adequate.

Gaddafi was a cruel dictator, he deserved to die and it was European NATO members, not the US, which initiated his overthrow. Saddam Hussein also a cruel dictator who deserved death. Iraq has improved since the US invasion, especially Iraqi Kurdistan

  4253. Anonymous _ Says you. But the fact is that black and white live different lives. Similar to men and women, it’s not to the extent that they’re separate cultures, but their lives are still different. A black filmmaker is best poised to write about black experiences
    1
  4254. Anonymous _ It depends on personal experience and skills. But just like white French men are typically less equipped to write about growing up in Communist China than a Chinese farmer, white filmmakers are generally less able to create movies about being black in America.
    1
  4255. Anonymous _ If you keep inventing fantasyland ideas you can find exceptions everywhere you look. But generally, if the topic is racial justice, profiling, or other aspects that tend to only affect POC, then a writer who is a POC is best suited to write about that, all else equal. That is what the black drive in promotes. Stories produced from people who are best able to offer that perspective on being POC in the US.

  4258.  @lemonaid8678  you’re wrong, did you even read the sources? Radio Free Europe wrote that in 2001, Taliban were limiting poppy farming in order to limit supply and increase revenue at a later date. The Guardian reported that the Taliban said growers can regrow if the US attacks, and reports that the Taliban for years was encouraging farmers to grow poppy crops. Get an education before commenting online

    1
  4261.  @lemonaid8678  you say the Taliban will make it illegal to grow poppy when they take over, and yet for most of their time in power they have encouraged the growth of poppy according to the article from Radio Free Europe and the Guardian which you cited. The one time in 2001 they did restrict the growth of poppy, experts believed that they only did so to establish a cartel they could profit from. There’s no evidence that the Taliban will support outlawing the drug.
    1
  4262.  @lemonaid8678  dude just admit that your own sources themselves say that the Taliban profit from the drug trade, and they have only once and under dubious circumstances tried to ban the drugs. That’s the truth in your articles you cited. Taliban should be defeated

  4281.  @f.m6495  “The problem with the oil explanation is that US dependence on Middle East oil, although substantial, was still limited and the US did not need to invade Iraq in order to secure energy supplies since Saddam was no threat to the Gulf oil exporters and Iraq had no control over the oil market; while there certainly would have been no invasion had Iraq not been an oil prize, oil in itself cannot explain the war” did you even read the source you provided? The author, Raymond Hinnebusch wrote that oil is not the cause

  4282.  @f.m6495  USAID dot gov lists how much money the US gives to other nations every year. The list is billions of USD. No other nation gives as much, especially to the nations it defeats like Iraq or Afghanistan. US also runs NATO which protects the Baltics from Russia, and protects Taiwan from China. US also has mutual defense treaties with most democratic nations on Earth, and opposes the regimes of China and Russia which threaten its neighbors. US looks humanitarian to me, it is the greatest bulwark for civil rights against evil forces.

US is far more benevolent than CCP

Secondly, Saudi Arabia is not as bad as Venezuela, Saudis aren’t starving and Saudis don’t attack other nations unlike Russia, Iran, or China. Saudi Arabia also didn’t start the Yemeni Civil War, Houthi Rebels backed by Iran did. Saudis are working with Yemen as allies to end a war they didn’t ask for. Your entire worldview ignores reality

  4350. @Safiya a where is the proof that the US overthrowing the Taliban and Saddam were cruel? Those actions helped millions of people escape tyranny

  4352. @Safiya a what period? Before the Soviets invaded? That communist government was unpopular with Afghans such as the Northern Alliance

  4360.  @nickn1998  if the US/Coalition presence and current Afghan government are better than the Taliban, what’s the issue? US and others should stay in Afghanistan until the terrorists are defeated. Where is the proof that the US ever supported the Taliban?

    1
  4376.  @bilalamir1341  US is objectively superior to its enemies because US supports democracy and is rated highly by NGO reports, dictatorships like Vietnam- the legacy of North Vietnam, China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, Palestine, Venezuela, etc, are rated poorly

  4390. @P Pierre comparing the US to the Taliban is absurd. NGO reports like the Democracy Index rate the US highly and the Taliban are condemned. US gave rights to Afghans especially improving women, minorities. Taliban have defined themselves as taking away the rights US gave them. Now women can’t go to school, can’t marry who they want, can be taken as wives by Taliban fighters, etc.
    1
  4391. @P Pierre and what did Germany do? They did very little to help Afghans, they talked from the sidelines while the US went in and got dirty, bringing war to the Taliban and aid to the people. The best thing Germany did was take in lots of refugees, I’ll give Germany credit for that. But their impact was minimal overall.
    1
  4392. @P Pierre NGOs are written by experts and aren’t based in the US or staffed primarily of Americans. I don’t think you actually believe that the US is as bad as the Taliban. You’re just looking to justify your identity politics and hate boner to the US.
    1
  4393. @P Pierre The Taliban forbid women to go to school, they commit suicide bombings, they forbid any independence for women and girls, in the US all of that is illegal…so that’s a start lol. US gave Afghan women their rights, Taliban took them away. No thanks to Germany, who did very little.
    1
  4394.  @CatatonicImperfect  People who support the Taliban are the targets. US doesn’t target civilians. I believe the people who run the actual military would agree with you that targeting civilians is wrong. China and Russia would disagree. Russia kills many civilians in Syria as they target moderate groups like the FSA or SDF, in support of Assad.
    1
  4395.  @lHawkyl  what proof do you have that the US killed hundreds of Afghan civilians? Also US killed tens of thousands of Taliban and donated billions in aid. That’s more than Germany did, so therefore US is better than Germany for Afghan people. US nationbuilding is proven effective. US also won the Korean War, helped Israel repel multiple wars started by hostile, Soviet backed neighbors like PLO, Baathists, etc, won the Korean War, and won the Cold War
    1
  4396.  Ken Hugehugerod  Germany sat there and didn’t do anything. At least the US tried to help South Vietnam, unlike the 2 Germany’s which either helped the Soviets or did nothing much useful. Also, to say the US fled Korea is wrong, the US is still in South Korea and helps to protect it from North Korea, China, and the Soviet Union/Russia. What does Germany do? Nothing. US at least tries, US gave Afghan women, men, their rights and freedoms, Taliban took them away. That’s their legacy. Germans looked on and did nothing.
    1
  4397.  Ken Hugehugerod  that was an accident and accidents happen. It’s rare that the US kills civilians and it’s never on purpose. At least the US is trying, and did some good before populists like Trump started the withdrawal
    1
  4398.  Ken Hugehugerod  most countries in the world are regimes. For the US to join and submit to the ICC would empower dictatorships like Russia and China who would like the US to stop meddling with dictatorships
    1
  4399.  @chremem357  we live in dangerous times where opinions hold equal weight to truth. Dangerous because there are bad people like the Taliban, CCP, Putinists, etc who thrive off of lies and demoralizing the US, because only them can they carry out their corrupt and hateful agendas. By dissuading the voting public and enabling populists like Trump, the World’s Policeman is being paralyzed from within. If the Developed World keeps believing lies and opinions over truth, eventually the world will reach a tipping point where our opinions won’t be heard anymore, Pax Americana, NATO etc will be irrelevant and countries like the Taliban or China under the CCP will call the shots. That won’t be in people’s best interests.

  4400.  @lHawkyl  US spent in Afghanistan 20 trillion USD overall. Just in 2019, US spent 4.9 billion USD strictly in humanitarian aid, according to USAID and the State Department. US selflessly placed its soldiers in danger to rebuild Afghanistan after 9/11, despite the terrorist threat of Al-Qaeda being neutralized. US rebuilt Afghanistan like it rebuilt Germany. That’s more than Germany ever offered other nations.
    1
  4401.  @lHawkyl  so, you think the Soviet backed Democratic Republic of Afghanistan was good? That’s a tall claim. Do you have proof? Millions of Afghans defected from the army and fought them plus their Soviet backers as the Muj. Saying that the Mujahideen were all Taliban is also wildly untrue, the Taliban came after the Muj. Not all Muj joined the Taliban, some joined the progressive Northern Alliance. Which featured secular and progressive policies like feminism, etc. US and others had reason to back these people
    1
  4402.  @lHawkyl  what proof do you have that the US didn’t care about the Afghan people? US gave aid to the Northern Alliance during the Afghan Civil War, and that was after the Soviets withdrew and were collapsing.

  4405.  @CatatonicImperfect  why do you think the US was wrong to be in Afghanistan? US only targeted terrorists and spent billions of USD to help the country. Some people deserve to be invaded

  4406.  @lHawkyl  US gave more money and more sacrifice to Afghanistan than Germany ever did. US is better for nationbuilding and civil rights than Germany, which only postures.

  4408.  @thepowerofsand6180  the opinion poll I’ve read from ZDF from 2020 shows 66% of Germans support Nordstream 2 and Nordstream pipelines. Germans are quick to condemn US Interventionism, but are complicit with dictatorships. The people don’t have a solution better than US Interventionism for fighting dictatorships. Which to me suggests they want appeasement. This makes them selfish

  4426.  @analogdistortion  to be fair to them, they were demoralized by past actions like Trump excluding the Afghan government from the Doha Agreement, according to a quote by US Generals HR McMaster and Milley. I wouldn’t have left Afghanistan fully had I been in charge.
    1
  4427.  @generalstack6540  Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, General Milley, blamed the Doha Agreement, wholly “negotiated” by Trump and his cabal of liars, for demoralizing the Taliban and bolstering their positions. Trump also released 5000 Taliban prisoners from Afghan prisons WHILE THE WAR WAS ONGOING, included in the Trump-release was the Taliban’s current senior leaders. After losing the 2020 Election, Trump decided it would a great idea to kneecap Biden’s image and set him up for failure. He withdrew most troops and left them at their lowest levels in history, less than 3k. Trump, against the advice of everyone, left Biden a mess to clean up, out of spite and selfish disregard for the Afghan and American people/service members. Biden inherited Trump’s mess. And he was tasked with either breaking the truce and Doha Agreement with the Taliban and fighting a bloody uphill battle, or leaving. The choice was not easy, especially with adversaries like China and Russia, who Trump allowed to run free, rising in Asia and Eastern Europe respectively. None of this would’ve happened if Hillary Clinton would’ve been President in 2016. Trump was a strategic gift for China, history will look on him, and the Republican politicians who slavishly supported him, as the selfish radicals who ruined the US’s standing as a superpower.
    1
  4428.  @generalstack6540  Taliban had the leverage of 75k troops, a demoralized and abandoned Afghan government-who after Trump’s Doha Agreement-wasn’t willing to do any fighting, the smallest US force ever in the war’s history, and large swaths of the countryside captured even before the US withdrew. Should Biden have stayed? I think so too, but blaming Biden is unfair and illogical, when the person who set this in motion, and set the US up for failure, was the pro-Putin, isolationist Donald Trump. You don’t believe Hillary Clinton would’ve have filed for a withdrawal right?

The Taliban can no longer train in the open or in daylight. Their ability to make war and terror has been crippled. All because of Northern Alliance and the US.

  4465.  @gamania122  true, but the trade wars are over and haven’t affected China in any meaningful way. As for Huawei, the Democrats supported the move to ban it, Hillary Clinton would have as well. Trump critically also trashed the TPP, meant to contain China. As for Hunter Biden, I was not aware he was running for President.

  4466. It was never the plan for the US to evacuate the Afghan military and government. They were supposed to stay and fight the Taliban, or hammer out a peace agreement, the US gave them 20 years and trillions of dollars in free help, to a country we had no obligation to help this much, for this much long. I don’t support the pullout, but to say it was not justified is unfair.

    1
  4486.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  that makes no sense. Republicans have blocked and publicly shamed gun control for decades, while Democrats have promoted it. Republicans have cultivated the narrative that gun control is bad or doesn’t work at reducing crime, despite the evidence from all other developed nations, who have tougher gun laws, and lower rates of murder and gun-murder than the US. As a result, even if the Republicans aren’t a majority, they have power to influence voters, which means Democrats who speak against guns can be voted out by the gun-loving public and replaced by pro-gun Republican Congressmen. So as you can see, the lack of gun control is Republicans’ fault.
