Neo cons have the same grasp on geopolitics as children, also the destruction of Libya show the DPRK that its nuclear program is its only defence against US intervention, and now days Iran also learn the same leason
And Saddam tried to play ball with the US, IIRC from the blowback pod he saw 9/11 as a way to get closer to the US and try to use it to actually improve relations. Saddam tried to be cooperative to an extent and he still got attacked. That’s the real precedent that was set.
I get that the DPRK is a bit more complex, but I get irrationally pissed off when US Americans talk about Cuba and Castro like it’s some dictatorship when the people of Cuba are more free and have more democracy than we do in the US. IIRC more people were executed in 6 years under Batista than in over 60 years since the revolution.
The USA must treat all other countries even its allies as Dictatorships or at least less “Free” than them or else the False reality of American Exceptionalism falls and its people are gonna demand something better than the Fascist Oligarchy they currently have
Nerds on reddit get so mad when I tell them China is unironically more democratic than the US.
The funniest thing to me is when John Bolton actually said out loud “We are looking to use the Libya model in North Korea.” Such a monumentally stupid thing to say out loud that even Trump of all people realized that is was dumb to say. http://tbs.seoul.kr/eFm/newsView.do?typ_800=M&idx_800=3392452&seq_800=
What’s darkly amusing here is that Gaddafi did capitulate on WMDs, but he is not depicted here, which perfectly captures the artists nonexistent grasp on foreign affairs.
Cuba taking over the world. North Korea taking over the world. Iran taking over the world.
These countries are hanging on to their sovereignty by pure stoic resolve. They’re countries that have been under siege from the west for decades. Hell, Iraq was America’s cat’s-paw against Iran not fifteen years before this cartoon was produced.
Imagine being this fucking pilled.
North korea’s nuclear defense policy is a perfect example of why I would give Bolivia nukes
People unironically sucking Bush dick, any Bush dick, deserve a special place in hell.
Really looking forward to George Prescott trying to take the AG slot from Ken Paxton in 2022.
Just going to be me, a bag of popcorn, and a deep desire for injuries.
I don’t know what that means, you mean to get the AG chair you have to wrestle all the other competitors? That would be cool
Paxton’s a slimeball who has infested the AG’s office for two terms. Normally, state AG is a stepping stone to Governor or Senator. But in an increasingly competitive state, there’s speculation as to whether Paxton could survive in a fight against a
George Prescott is the Land Commissioner (and son of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush) which is a common stepping-stone to more prominent offices like Lt. Gov or AG.
Prescott’s record is relatively clean, but he’s a Bush. Bushs aren’t playing as well in Texas as they used to, thanks to the Trump wave.
So it’s two soulless goons fighting for the opportunity to run for higher office in 2030.
