Are just little boys throwing stones

Chilling warning from a Trump-aide.

”the U.S. will use its military “unapologetically” to secure U.S. interests".

Criminopoly

Russia rolled 5 - move to Ukraine, begin war in Europe,
USA rolled 4 - move to Venezuela- begin illegal war in the Americas,
UK rolled 1. Miss a turn. Cries.

China - it’s your turn.

Jail free cards all round.

Trump says US will 'run' Venezuela until 'safe transition can take place'.

He will install a puppet regime. US Oil companies moving in to boost profits.

Free/fair elections are not possible under the US jackboots. People can have any govt as long as it serves Trump.

Shameful chapter in US history

Sometimes I think about and write a post. Make so many mistakes by the time I have corrected it to make sense and avoid sharing my raw brain fog I’m tired and have lost interest in the post or point I wanted to make. ME’s brain fog and cognitive dysfunction is a problem.

(This post is an exception)
