Let’s not blame people when we have no proof and when the result is aligned with the rule of law. That discourages honest people from doing good things, which is particularly needed in the current times.

As much as I align with USA on war with Venezuela for political reasons, pretending it’s for drugs and using the army for it remains a …new behavior?

1. Either an illegal course of action,

2. Or a legal course of action if we interpret international agreements (that USA didn’t sign) a certain way, but which stretch current definitions, and therefore gives an excuse for China to act the same in Asian seas.

In either cases, humanity loses. The UK is defending the right side here, or at least tries not to dip in USA’s sauce. For once.

    Following that logic, would you also align on war with USA for political reasons, given the clear anti-democratic goals of the current administration?

    • Rhetorical question. But to answer it: The antidemocratic thing I’ve seen is creating 20 million votes out of thin air, that disappeared in the following elections when we knew what kind of cheating to monitor for. That you don’t agree with one side doesn’t make it antidemocratic. And certainly doesn’t justify rigging an election.

When Escobar was shot did people run out of cocaine?

Americans just want to blow shit up and kill people- preferably with million dollar missiles.
