    Of course the US can. It’s so infuriating that it has the money and resources to spend in whatever it wants and instead it’s using it to finance death.

    Of course, I think she’s probably saying this at the GOP more than as a personal interest in war, as we’ve been hearing people talk about America doesn’t have the resources, which even if true isn’t something you would say if you “love america”.

        “We can afford anything when it comes to protecting our international position and pursuing national interests.”

        Unfortunately, international relations has never really cared about poors - if you study diplomatic relations they literally teach you that “human rights” wasn’t even a concept to foreign relations between nation-states until the 20th century.

    I have a lot of old people in my life that I love.

    But man oh man, this makes me think all political gam gams and pepaws should be inhaling pillows at a certain age just to prevent them from turning into a murderous politician.

    It may be time to tell top-cop 's daughter she needs to Chief her Cuckoo’s Nest in MineCraft before the brainrot turns (more) malicious.
