The United States is causing harm and trauma - and making real enemies - all over the world.

Rykes's avatar

The US keeps bringing up all their Allies on TV, Not by Name. It's truly becoming a situation where the US has No Allies. Trump is out of control and wreaking havoc on the entire World! And the US Government is Refusing to reel him. The damage this Maniac has created so far, is going to take years to correct, and the Republican Party I guess feel there will never be any blowback on them. Heir lives are Ruined, their children will have to live with the shame for years to come. Just downright Dispicable People.

Trump has alienated almost any worthy allies.

This regime needs to be taught a harsh lesson in humanity. till the day I die the power in me will keep the pressure on the fascist government. I am heart broken beyond belief. This GOP needs to be taken to the woodshed. 😑

Please everyone, see the form below to complain about the white house healthcare staff who are complicit of negligence for not treating an obvious schizophrenic and demented old man. THEN phone the adult protective services number to complain about the cabinet and whitehouse employees exploiting a very sick old rapist. Listen we all need to send healthcare worker complaints to District of Columbia Healthβ€”- send one form for nurse complaints and one for doctor complaints. The whitehouse healthcare staff have failed the public and broke the hippocratic oath by not putting the obvious uncontrolled schizophrenic into lockdown. Its serious and they have put the public in danger. Here is the link to the complaint form: https://dchealth.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/doh/publication/attachments/Healthcare%20Professional%20Complaint%20Form.pdf

Send complaints to the Adult Protection Society about elder abuse and exploitation. Trump is obviously an uncontrolled schizophrenic showing strong signs of dementia. Whitehouse staff and republican elected officials are exploiting a sick elder. Flood this adult protection line to complain about this ill elder trump being exploited: at (202) 541-395

This is why I now always bracket the usa/israel together. Both are despicable in their immorality, inhumanity, and dishonesty. Any decent people will rue the day they ever became part of the usa. Just like israel, it’s been repulsive since the day the first Indigenous Americans were murdered.

This is true.

Thank God people like you are endeavouring to tell them the truth.

Trump and Netanyahu at any rate.

You were very generous when you wrote, "A society that can laugh at β€œquiet death” is a society with a broken soul."

I'm not a religious woman Mr. King and never will be, but creatures that eagerly and gleefully eject their humanity/soul/empathy, all the same names for that valuable gift that gives us the right to call ourselves human, are no longer human.

They long ago crossed over into some other realm. They may walk in our skin, but they're not like us.

At all.

You are right

I think an alarming number of people in the US have sold their sold to the devil - for almost nothing.

Your comment gives me the shivers, cause in my bones, I know it’s true.

Mary-Elizabeth Meagher's avatar

This impunity for the United States and Israel continues to become more and more grotesque.

Aamir Razak's avatar

Well said Ms. Meagher.

I know why the United States acted so badly. The regime is depraved. I know why Congress members are silent. They are looking for something they will never have again from me - respect and a vote. I don't always understand the international community. China and Russia see that this plays well for them and are somewhat silent. But Canada? Mexico? The entire EU? We have to be stopped. What the hell are they waiting for? We must be sanctioned. Plans to replace the dollar. Every capable country must stand and turn their back on us.

Fardakir's avatar

Oh dear, what are we waiting for? Netherlands (EU) calling in: we now live in a world where, if we stand up to β€˜daddy’ we are hit with:

- bizarre tariffs wreaking havoc on the economy

- invasion of Denmark (Greenland) and/or the death of NATO, at least the version that includes the United States

- Cessation of deliveries of Patriot support, Atacms, starlink internet, satellite and other military intel, all of which still very necessary to defend against the Russian aggressor in Ukraine, and relaxation of the sanctions on Russia allowing it to escape the financial squeeze and properly fund their military again (which will threaten all of Europe henceforth)

So that’s the downside. Let’s talk about the upside. Or actually, let’s make it a question: under what circumstances would the American government listen? And I say American government because let’s not all pretend that we can blame this solely on the one orange guy. There’s an entire Republican Party apparatus behind this man AND his lackeys in power. The American democratic institution is mortally infected, and there’s no reason to suspect that the next president, come rigged come fair elections, will not be equally sick and dangerous to both the world and his own citizens, as the current one.

We are β€˜stopping’ you in a similar way as the USA stopped the rise of Hitler. Similar, not equal, because the USA had the power to invade and really stop Hitler. We don’t. So we’re really not stopping you…. We’re not even coming when NATO member Canada eventually gets β€˜liberated’ by the USA (speaking of which, they will require nuclear weapons of their own. It really is that bad).

Bottom line is, the world is not gonna save you. If you want to be saved, you’re on your own. There’s lots of Americans positively appalled by what’s going on. Be sure to know your neighbours. Be graceful and show mercy to fellow Americans who don’t think exactly as you. Know your rights and specifically, know that those rights are only yours when they are granted and protected by others, so make sure to stand up for other’s rights. Be physically there to show support for people and don’t rely on demonstrations only. Remember the end goal: you need to be saved and it can only be done when everyone, or at least the majority is saved. So save the majority, one minority at a time, one day per day.

Rykes's avatar

A Canadian citizen here... You were making some sense right up until you said when Canada gets liberated. You're talking crap, because Canada does not need to be Liberated, and Canada will NEVER Kneel to Fuck ink Anyone or Any Country. So wherever you are talking Shit from, you Do Not Know Shit about Canada, so don't Fucking speak on OUR behalf.

Fardakir's avatar

sorry sir, I meant not to offend. 'liberation' was meant to allude to the propaganda terms that might be used by the USA to come grab Canada. Although 'connection' or 're-connection' are also feasible contenders.

So I wasn't speaking on Canada's behalf. I am saying that when the USA invade Canada, the EU would be obliged to stand by Canada but as things stand now, that might not help much.

Rykes's avatar

Canada has stood by NATO Countries since the beginning of NATO. Including the USA. That will never happen!

LadyOfBooks's avatar

Do you really think Trump won't invade Canada if he gets a wild hair? He's becoming more unhinged daily and there are no checks on him and he is cheered on by millions of enablers. The more outrageous Trump's behavior, the more they cheer him on.

The EU is complicit and controlled by the same criminal cabal.

Fardakir's avatar

Can’t really be complicit if you’re being controlled by a cabal, can you?

But go on, you claim that the EU was complicit in torpedoing that ship. Do tell. How did the EU co-command that American sub-marine?

And while you’re at it I’d love to know which EU countries wholeheartedly support this war.

Texas Strikes Back's avatar

The governments are complicit, not the people. The EU is complicit in the Gaza genocide and have denounced Iran. They are always on the side of evil.

Jessica Brahmer's avatar

ROE don’t exist anymore? Fire only when fired upon? Those β€œdrug boats” were just target practice? Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hagueseth will be accountable as will every military serviceman or woman who followed a single one of these orders. β€œI was just following orders.” Didn’t excuse the Nazis and it damn sure won’t cut it for America. Nuremberg 2.0 is coming

Joy in HK fiFP's avatar

If following orders doesn't protect from war crime convictions, what about giving those orders? These people are deep in the throes of bloodlust. A word used but only now becoming clear. We must find the ways to stop them.

Celine C.'s avatar

The entirety of the US Navy just disgusts me. To torpedo an unarmed vessel on peaceful maneuvers and then not offer aid to those drowning in the water... My anger level is sky high. We need to take out this corrupt government yesterday. #NoWarWithIran

Goldilocks's avatar

The military made an oath to the constitution, not a president. It’s illegal.

Gary Coleman's avatar

I hadn't even heard of this until just now reading your reporting. I beyond pissed that these THUGS are still walking around, allowing atrocities to continue, both at home and abroad. If I could, I'd denounce my citizenship. 🀯😑πŸ₯Ί

Shaun King's avatar

Imagine if it happened to virtually anyone else. You would have heard about it.

Gary Coleman's avatar

Trust me, I know... and I HATE that it's that way. Freaking HATE it.

Barbara Aran's avatar

I thought maybe I was the only one who knew nothing about this. Truly sickening and unforgivable. We are β€œshooting ourselves in the foot”. And that wound will not heal. What injuries we, the U.S., cause will come back to our regret. Who on earth voted for this atrocity? Not my understanding of Christianity.

Mohamed Oraby's avatar

Like I always say, any zio enjoys mass murdering, no matter what, even the killed US military personnel. This entity will take too many lives to be totally dismantled and wiped off the face of the earth, but there is no other way to do it.

This piece of shit secretary of of war of the USA is a hoodlum without ethical, moral or social constraints. Hegseth should be an embarrassment to our country and our society, but he is serving and representing a man that is his equal, except in rank. Only The SB POS POTUS of America is proud of the POS secretary of war ( and possibly millions of white supremacists americans)

Shaun King's avatar

It’s true

Aamir Razak's avatar

agreed Mr. Sierra

Grabman's avatar

When so call terrorist target school children or execute prisoners, the USA will call them savages. USA is lost and anyone who serves will be viewed as war criminals just like ss or Nazis

What’s going to happen to the Iranian soccer team when they come to the US for the World Cup?

Celine C.'s avatar

Oh dear... I was hoping the Word Cup would be cancelled or moved to another country. Stay safe Iranian soccer team!

Carol Vitko's avatar

I believe Iran has already stated that will not be participating

β€œThis is not how the American media has reported it at all.”

It mystifies me that people watch legacy media.

β€œWMDs in Iraq” convinced me to turn them off. I get annoyed when I see clips that someone is commenting about…

They lie to cover up war crimes.

They’re owned and controlled by the Epstein class.

They are spokespeople for genocide-loving, child-raping, war-criminals.

The US is an out-of-control, criminal regime…daring the world to stop them from their efforts to ethnically cleanse West Asia.

thinkkind's avatar

This is a filthy indelible stain on the USA. Such sadness for the unarmed young men murdered so callously.

Reading many of the comments by Americans you can hear their anger at what has been done in their name. In particular this comment which says this is not how the media are reporting it. I think it is everyone’s responsibility to do their best to discover what is really happening, protest and speak out. We can’t just sit by and watch these dreadful crimes happen.

It isn’t quiet for the recovery people. A dead body in the water, is a horror to behold, and it degenerates in way, and a rate you cannot imagine.
