I love walking barefoot in the Andes Mountain range of Ecuador. An anti-war hippie that Nixon, Reagan and Biden warned you about. I refuse to participate in the Zionist States of America anymore. Palestina libre.

A third party would have to be formed that wants to fix the USA instead of blowing up children in other nations. Democrat donors would not give the DNC funding if they campaigned on these topics. AIPAC would fund the RNC 100%.

The Pope is upset one of his churches got bombed. Jesus would feed people in Gaza. Too bad the Pope doesn't bring food to Gaza. If the US & Israel killed the Pope, it would inspire a global uprising to stop Trump and Bibi. If the Pope doesn't get killed, people in Gaza will get food.

The US/Israel/NATO genocide machine is still starving people in Gaza, bombing children in Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Somalia, etc. They're also planning more illegal wars with Venezuela and Mexico.

More children blown up by US tax payers in Lebanon. The village escaped bombing during the war, but was destroyed during a "ceasefire." Homes, schools, hospitals, etc. blown up or bulldozed by Israeli forces with US & UK weapons and with EU support. rumble.com/v6y7bku-naqo...

Trump wants to invade Mexico & Venezuela. This will bring "peace" according to the Gas-lighter-n-Chief. War with Iran, Russia, Yemen, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Somalia, Haiti...Taiwan...etc. He's failed with Yemen & is failing in Ukraine. He's doesn't have enough weapons. What horrors are planned?
Karl (@karlvilca.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm wrong. Trump has a few options Russophobes would love: 1. Deport all Russians in the US 2. Set up Russian internment camps & take all Russian assets. 3. Impose martial law and hunt down all Russian sympathizers in the US with Palantir's AI. 4. "No Russians allowed" policies, like in Europe.
Karl (@karlvilca.bsky.social) reply parent
Do you really think Gas-lighter-n-Chief Trump will broker peace? Look at his track record. He: 1. started an illegal war of aggression while pretending to negotiate with Iran. 2. negotiated the release of a US prisoner of war held by Hamas, then reneged. Don't worry. Wars will continue.

NATO tried bringing Russians "to heel" and failed. Trump tried "your money or your life" and Russia laughed. Trump has leverage over Harvard. Trump has none over Russia. The Navy got its butt kicked by Yemen, the second poorest nation on earth. What can Trump do against Russia's army? Nukes?

When Europeans first invaded North America, they didn't bring slaves with them yet. They hoped to find local slaves, so they didn't have to import slaves. Their first order of business was genocide. The USA started in 1776...when imported slaves were common...still committed to genocide.

The US/NATO/Israeli War OF Terror has killed 4 million since 2003. All part of the "Greater Israel Project." Western genocidal maniacs are working on killing another 2 million in Gaza, more in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, etc. God only knows how many they're killing in Haiti, Somalia, Sudan, etc.

If you don't like Russians or Chinese, don't go to their nations. Immigration laws impose restrictions that a US citizen will have to consider. The US is one of the worst places for working class people: sub-standard wages, massive gap between rich & poor, police abuses, prison industry, etc.

Lavrov repeated Russia's stance. Russia and NATO are miles apart. Zelesky wants a cease-fire so he can re-arm. What would Russia get for Ukraine re-arming itself? Russia is content to negotiate on the battlefield until NATO makes a reasonable offer.
