Brilliant idea. I’m sure he’ll be the first to sign up to work for the council or the police for free.

Imagine the outcry if this had happened in a real democracy, like Venezuela.

Ukraine is starting to topple, and the US has to ensure the right sort of people maintain control of whatever is left.

Who would win in a coup, the depleted conscript armed forces, or well armed, ideological paramilitaries with outside funding and direction?

Why are you linking an actual propaganda thinktank as an example as of Uyghur Genocide?

You could link any source, but you link one that is staffed by people who’s careers have been purely to lie about American’s enemies and push American interests?? I hope you’re a little sharper than that and you’re just linking that because you hope other people will swallow anything.

Americans can call the sky green as much as they want. In the rest of the world, Liberalism = Liberalism, not “democrat”.

Nah we clock in early.
