Exactly. The USA is doing what it always done whenever their version of laissez-faire capitalism is challenged by demonising anything that benefits the polity

I agree democratic socialism is good - I am Australian. But words matter and it is important to differentiate between economic systems.

Unfortunately this is the USA approach to reviews. Start at five and work down. In Australia we typically start at three (ok and acceptable) and then score up and down accordingly.

The Strait of Hormuz used to be open and there was a non-nuclear deal with Iran - wonder who is responsible for reversing both of these?

The one good thing that the republicans did was to detail their (albeit flawed, cruel, and ridiculous) policies in their Project 2025 manifesto. The Dems need to be defining their policies

The kidnapping and targeted bombing of a country's leaders are both unlawful acts; therefore, the military chain of command responsible for both is subject to legal action.

Also, it is unlawful to kidnap and/or target heads of state as protected persons.

If the USA didn't continue to believe it was at the pinnacle of development there might be more motivation to be compassionate

Self-awareness is part of the journey to salvation, haha - good thing you realised the error of your ways. I have been binging on junk-food books lately (Wilbur Smith, Tom Clancy, Clive Cussler) plus my PhD reading. Self-admission, most of the reading has been ADHD avoidance of reading texts

The rich and well connected are waging a culture war to distract from the required class war. This is why any policy that benefits the majority are vilified and labelled as socialist and communist

They are so insecure they look for any reason to try to prove themselves superior. The culture wars are continuing to try to hide the class war

Australia is having the same issues with Mauritian born senator pushing for Western Christian values and an end to universal suffrage and deportation of immigrants - oh the irony.

Actually I haven't, the connection between fear and hate was told to me many many years before Yoda :) And it is true. That is why the opposite of love is fear not hate.

And hate is based on Fear - so ignorance breeds fear which breeds hate

After the end of the cold war the USA sent representatives to find out how we trained for war without having a defined enemy. Shortly after they identified fanatical Islam as the enemy of the day.

I wish Australia would also head that way as the AUKUS alliance and submarine deal is looking very shaky
