      So telling they use the phrase “powerful gang” 3 times in the article without referring to what said “most powerful gang” is, who their leaders are, etc. Definitely no racial insinuations to using the term “gang” referring to people protesting the puppet regime

        It could be many things. Could be that DEA and alphabet soup has lost its handle on the mob. It could be just a crackdown on the Haitian people. Could be a puppet vs puppet situation to create too much chaos for people to get anything done. Could be a combo.

    They talk about defending democracy, but is a mass riot of citizens overthrowing a government they hate not the most democratic? It’s something that necessarily requires a high majority of individuals to pull off, not just that, a majority that’s passionate enough about change to risk life and limb to force it.

      It’s “funny” isn’t it? Libs support with utmost passion violent overthrow of government in Ukraine (2014), Libya, Syria, the attempts at overthrow in Hong Kong, Iran, Russia.

      But this? Nah, this is totally different! Send in the armed forces!

    It’s remarkable how quick and harmonious all the empires stop their bickering to unite against people.

      Which is I would argue the current “schism” between EU and NATO members is inconsequential. Sure, they might bicker whose bourgeoisie gets the bigger cut, but the moment the rule of their little club as a whole is threatened - that goes out the window

    In case of an invasion watch them warp their minds beyond the available knowledge of astronomy to justify it, instead of going ‘Adolf Biden Justin Turditler’
