Cool cool.... Hey why did Obama run a drone assassination program?

  • From 2000 up to the present day, the US has been carrying out a campaign of drone strikes and asassinations in the Middle East and Africa, including Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Somalia, resulting in thousands of civilian deaths, including women, children, and US citizens. 1 Drone strikes are used by the military and the CIA to hunt down and kill people the Obama administration has deemed — through secretive processes, without indictment or trial — worthy of execution. Drone strike targets are usually pinpointed through cell phone usage. The Obama asassination complex is detailed in the drone papers.

The democrats are a ruthless, genocidal party. Not wanting genocide is not "demanding perfection".

Why did Biden do this?

Or why did Obama do this?

No, you can't just rewrite the definition of democracy

Interestingly, not even the ancient greeks would consider what modern-day western states are, as democracies. Both Aristotle and Plato considered any system based on elections to be undemocratic oligarchies, since only the wealthy have the money to finance campaigns or the prestige to win the popularity contest.

They rightly considered democracy as meaning rule by the poor, which is the opposite of modern day bourgeois democracy.

China is not state capitalist, its a mixed economy with the planned socialist sector predominating. See here.

I'm guessing, based purely on the countries highlighted, that this is a Russian sponsored resolution.

Pretty funny how you saw that all of Latin America, Africa, and Asia voted against genocide, and your first reaction is to call them russian bots.

France: Imperializing and committing atrocities in Vietnam, Algeria, and much of Africa for decades. Has strong relationship with the US and Israel. Votes with US and goes along with all its wars.

Algeria: No relationship with Israel. Votes against genocide.

Because the US installed nazi-sympathizing government in 2014: https://forward.com/news/462916/nazi-collaborator-monuments-in-ukraine/

Liberals occasionally come to the correct conclusion that the game is rigged. But then they still inevitably spend hours telling us how important it is to play it, and vote for their genocidal parties anyway.
