What a disaster it was for humanity when American policy planners decided against mass transit.

If they’re actually asking that question, we already know in truth, what their unspoken business model is.

which is clearly what JD was referring to. He didn’t say shit about any year but 2015.

It’s capitalism, period.

An organizational system for the economics of a technologically advanced civilization, that is predicated on greed, is illogical and unjust on its face. Any adult should be able to sense this intuitively.

What you’re saying there, is that the US is using “fire” — coercion and militarism — to fight Chinese “fire”, which is just a further perpetuation of the myth of equivalence between Chinese conduct in the world, and the brutalities committed by the US empire.

Nothing about their conduct in the world supports that conclusion. Their defense spending has actually decreased in recent years as a percentage of the Chinese GDP, their foreign policies clearly do not include a propensity for forcing or coercing their ideology onto the world. Americans tend to project their own government’s inclinations onto others.

What else would the dumb-ass expect from a right wing extremist?

Shit-for-brains.

American hypocrisy will never cease to make make jaws drop.

The authors push the normalization of economic coercion and threats of violence, and the forcing of arbitrary agreements on other states. Such actions are clearly violations of the UN charter and numerous other multilateral agreements, and thus violations of international law.

“Containment of China” says it all, to those with an objective view of things.

Is innuendo posted on Twitter supposed to mean something to me?

I rarely listen to Medhurst. I prefer more intellectually inclined fare, so I’m not triggered in the least by your hard-hitting criticisms of him.

According to you, Richard Medhurst:
– has more than one name
– lives in the UK
– “has a lot going on” with Boris Yeltsin
– has only an American audience
– ominously began criticizing AOC after Jimmy Dore
– made a video with TDS (?) and presumably
– didn’t say anything about Trump’s travel ban

What exactly does all of that mean to you?

Most people want peace, and to work toward common interests that benefit us all. US political leaders want war, austerity and misery for the vast majority of the human population, but fabulous wealth and power for themselves.

Unfortunately, the default position in the minds of most Americans, is that we’re the ‘adults’ and we have a moral imperative to do as please. People think you’re weird for suggesting that the same moral amd legal standards should apply to everyone, including the US. More often than not, a blank stare is the response.

In point of fact. Absolutely indisputable.

Those were some really insightful comments from Eric London. WSWS has top-notch analysis and writing.

“Both sides” this and “both sides” that implies an equivalency between the two countries in terms of responsibility for the problems in the world, that simply doesn’t exist. It is the US that is the seat of power for the global capitalist empire that does so much harm to our societies. It is the US that needs to concede, not China. It’s the US…[Read more]

Unadulterated nonsense, plain as day. Sharing vaccines with impoverished countries in the interest of the safety and welfare of human society, would not in any way prevent scientists from doing research and development of medicine. That may be the silliest thing I’ve ever read.

Most of the rich, powerful people in the world are sociopaths. It’s…[Read more]

No doubt, style matters. This president is the most uncivil, crassest, crudest, ugliest (in several meanings of the word) U.S. leader in memory. Maybe ever.

But style is only style. Style is not substance. Conflating Trump’s weird crazy demeanor with his generically Republican politics exacerbates a problem afflicting our national discourse, our…[Read more]

Few things are more diametrically opposed to true leftist ideology than murdering people and stealing their shit.
