Serbia didn’t commit genocide, and the NATO bombing of Belgrade was a war crime (and, like the Iraq war, was based on lies), just as a bombing of Tel Aviv would be.

They’ve been trying to put somebody more compliant in power for years now, so wouldn’t be surprised if they go to the next step and just try to overthrow the government.

Read the founding fathers! They knew exactly what America the beautiful stood for.

It never stood for the things it claimed to stand for in the first place*—going all the way back to We the People**—and the receipts keep piling up. Trump isn’t some exceptional case; it’s always been so. Today America stands for the international rules-based order, which is not what it says on the tin. What it is is neocolonialism.


*It did stand for manifest destiny, though. It still does, but it used to, too.

**The “we” was exclusive to white, land-owning males, a.k.a. the bourgeoisie. It certainly didn’t include native Americans, chattel slaves, or women.

But they also want to have some fig leaf of legitimacy while engaging in said wars. The fact that it’s being blown away now is what’s making them upset.

Amerika stands for what it’s always stood for: indiscriminate bloodshed of anyone darker than piano ivory, on a scale that’d make Genghis Khan blush.
