Normies might be shocked by how trump treated zelensky today but remember well, this is the norm. US actively assassinated the South Vietnam president (a US vassal btw) because he'd not fully play ball to US demands. Friend or foe, it doesn't matter. The US will kill you. They'll kill you dead!

Jimmy Carter has died at 100. With the battle for democracy in South Korea in the news, it's worth pointing out that Carter backed Chun Doo-hwan in crushing the 1980 Gwangju Uprising — a 10 day student revolt against Chun's military coup. Hundreds killed w/ hundreds more tortured in military prison.

Honored to be on this “Tankies and their supporters” list.
