A country that has been illegally invaded, can legally ask a third party for financial assistance — ‘pay to kill Americans’, for example — and the third party can legally provide it.

@peacecorps

and indeed for customary international law in general, is the concept of national sovereignty, so killing self-serving foreign invaders is absolutely consistent with international law, and is therefore not murder, even if  the invaders are Americans. You have been indoctrinated to hold your views on such matters, through a lifetime o…[Read more]

They might not have heard about it yet.

The US needs to withdraw from Afghanistan, stop trying to compete with China’s economic challenges with military agression, and  start being a responsible, cooperative global citizen. A new cold war guarantees no action on the ecological crisis.

@jimlane

If invaders came and murdered hundreds of thousands of my fellow citizens, I would think it was right and proper to kill them, regardless of whether they were here to steal lithium and other rare-earth minerals or not. And I would happily accept Canadian and Mexican assistance in doing it. The invaders would likely see it differently of…[Read more]

murdering women and children, as they commit rapine on behalf of the US empire, so it’s really not all that outrageous that they might be attacked, or that a neighboring country might intervene in some way.

Far too many American adults display the reasoning skills of children, even amongst progressives. It doesn’t bode well for our future.

Some powerful Republicans were able to have the public notice removed from the FBI’s website.

Transfers of ‘wealth’ don’t happen by accident. It’s austerity, American style.

Makes you wonder why the outbreak can’t be managed with more competence.

A doctor in Houston in another piece, said that the positive rate was 47%. Quick! Crawl back under your bed!

@leftcoastmountains

and sometimes I post comments about the fear-mongering that drives the covid-19 panic; just that simple.

I avoid crowded spaces too. It’s deceitful mischaracterizations that are unreasonable.

@notforsale

@ohiobarbarian

so you would think the fear-mongering over such things would work on me.

In the video, the doctor said there’s only a 20% survival rate from intubation. But further, even you do survive it, the likelihood is, it will damage your lungs and cause you to develop chronic pneumonia, so your days are numbered regardless. Also, it was…[Read more]

@leftcoastmountains

it makes you appear irrational and unreasonable. Other posters can actually see the words on their screens, you know.

@leftcoastmountains

That sentiment is going to come in very handy for the ruling class. They want working-class people looking at each other with suspicion, as things come down to the wire.

I’m guessing that piece isn’t really intended to provide any useful information.

that the US military is wrapped in some sort of cloak of morality, that supposedly protects it from attack in countries that are victims of its brutalization.

If a foreign power invaded Canada and began slaughtering with abandon to steal its mineral wealth, would that not be a threat to our security as well, and wouldn’t we have a right, and…[Read more]

to be anything other than a filthy, stinking capitalist, who are, by their very nature, sociopathic.

I wouldn’t risk taking that shit. It doesn’t even improve your probability for survival, which are very good anyway, if you suffer from no morbidities, and I’m highly skeptical that it actually offers any benefits at all.

You mean people actually SHOOT at the US military in the countries we invade and brutalize?

The nerve!

is that an equivalence exists between what Russia is accused of, and the actual atrocious conduct of the US, as it rampages around the world committing rapine.
