distraction from epstein files, trump escalates everytime the files get more news. plus the 2 right wing propaganda news both recieved the info on the attack days prior too, but they CHOSE NOT TO report it.
The real parallel is between Leopoldo Galtieri and the Falkland islands. He used an invasion to distract from his human rights abuses and a worsening economic situation in Argentina. Of course the utter failure of his conquest led to his downfall and the restoration of democracy in Argentina. If only America could have a restoration of democracy.
Ngl, hope Maduro is collateral, after what he did, and that Venezuela just pops back up without him.
Are you blaming Thatcher? Except the Falklands war was completely the fault of the Argentinian junta. The junta was growing unpopular and wanted to invade the islands to artificially shore up their approval ratings. Thatcher, for all her faults, did consider giving up Falklands to prevent a war, but the locals in the islands are completely loyal to the British so handing over the islands to the Argentines is out of the question.
Edit: as expected, Lemmy and their wilful ignorance as always.
Yeah the US is pulling an Argentina this time round, same reason even, plus oil.
Get a job
An .ml user telling someone to get a job? Oh the irony.
It only appears ironic if you're politically illiterate
Cry more for handouts while being terminally online.
You sound like a republican.
Yes, I am an anti-monarchist, and not terminally online unlike you
Oh christ. You know damned well that I was saying that your talk about handouts makes you sound like a member of the US republican party.
In addition to that, you now sound like a condescending prick.
I have no problem with free education and healthcare and those on unemployment benefits, but a terminally online tankie don't really deserve it...
But you'll oppose anyone who tries to make that a reality.
"terminally online" is just what centrists say when they want to pretend that being out of touch is a virtue.
Huh? Oh sorry, we already have those basic rights in Europe. But it doesn't make me a terminally online tankie 😂
And oppose them everywhere else. Good work.
You learned one insult and apply it to everyone to your left.
Are you saying you don't have a job?
Where are you getting that idea?
Surprisingly you've managed to go an entire comment without mindlessly parroting "terminally online tankie!"
Anything's possible when you make shit up
