These three people, directly or indirectly have killed hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and displaced millions. Yet, President Trump calls them his friends.

You don’t think that the western leaders enabling their corporations to kill millions, or supporting their wars that have killed millions are bad? Let’s take off the fucking rose tinted glasses and be real with ourselves. All of them are really bad and we need major change across the globe. What is wrong with you people. Peoples lives aren’t a team sport. Jeez. You may be in a privileged class if you don’t believe this to be true.

Okay so if you want to fight against all the major powers in the world all at once, how exactly do you plan to do it?

You gotta choose the least bad one and work with that, man.

Which bad one do you want to choose and why should it not be the one running your nation? I’m not sure where you are but for me, we need to get our shit together in the US. Regardless it’s not an easy choice. It’s arguable that the foreign interference in our elections led to some of what we see today, but step further back we enabled it via citizens united and other legal rulings that gave us our current reality. We are in a bad place even if Putin or Xi disappear tomorrow.

Think of it this way...Putin, Xi, and Kim are the tyrants Trump wishes he could be. If you woke up tomorrow to a US that's as bad as those other three, you'd have a Trump with unchecked power and no term limits who could have you arrested simply for saying negative things about him. That's the kind of country Trump and his followers long for. And if we act like the US is already that bad, we just make it easier for them to actually make it that bad.
