More than a dozen former Ronald Reagan staff members have joined dozens of other Republican figures endorsing the Democratic nominee and vice-president, Kamala Harris, saying their support was “less about supporting the Democratic party and more about our resounding support for democracy”.

    Even the bloodsucking ghouls prefer Harris, what a timeline

          Hey, the US Empire is weakening every day. This is looking to be the good timeline eventually.

              I hope, given the mass terrorist attack on Hezzbollah just now.

            Empires breaking up tends to be extremely violent. Just look at what happened during the collapse of the European empires.

            Also what replaces them is not necessarily better. Not all evil comes from the US. Other countries are perfectly able of horrible stuff as well.

              The US Empire is the worlds most violent parasite. The collapse of it will surely be violent, but the Global South will celebrate it annually.

                Looking at the countries currently trying to replace the US none of them are better. Russia an Iran are pretty obvious. China is already working hard on enslaving the poorest countries in the world. For most of the rest the US Empire falling apart, just means local dictators continue their rule.

                Add to that the violence of the conflicts and I gurantee you very few will celebrate that collapse.

                  What metric are you using to determine if a country is “better” or “worse?” Can you explain what you mean there? Additionally, how is China “already working hard on enslaving the poorest countries in the world?”

                  When I say the US Empire is the worlds worst and largest parasite, I say so with careful analysis of how it treats the Global South and where it does the bulk of its exploitation. It isn’t a simple “west bad, therefore east good” calculation.

                    China is currently debt trapping most of Africa. They pretty much appointed the current dictator of Zimbawe for example.

                    The way I look at good and bad is on a scale. Whenever a country makes the life for the average human better in terms of material well being, but also political freedom, that is a good thing. Whenever they make those things worse then it is bad.

                    A huge reason the US is the country doing so many bad things, is that nearly nobody else can. Any large scale war between two countries in recent times had the US being the agressor or the US intervening massivly. Iraq was done after invading Kuwait and Russia despute having nukes and a resilient economy is not liking it either.

                    So we have to look at what countries choose to do with the power they have and the US is not the worst in that metric.
