How many bus full of Mexicans must get slaughtered before he will fight them on behalf of Mexicans?
Mexican police went to America to be trained by their military. When police were sent back, they abandoned the government and became one of the most vicious and capable cartels on the planet.
If I was a rouge security agency who wanted to smuggle drugs into the US to fund secret, illegal and immoral wars around the world, I'd use a cartel just like that one.
They received the imperialism masterclass.
I'm aware. And I think that's a US cultural thing not neoliberal. Most of Europe wouldn't contribute to the weapon issue if they were next to Mexico.
But on the main topic, sure there is some crazy footage but he still is using a padded stick.
All NATO weapons sent to Ukraine are 100% accounted for and would never end up in the hands of criminals (the fascist Ukrainian state excluded). Nope, nothing to see here. Just peaceful Europe.
Big yikes. Russia is a facist, terror state and no amount of finger pointing and projection will change that.
You have literally 0 evidence for that claim. And to send weapons to Europe then back to Mexico would be a lot of work.
Much more likely its regular old US military corruption or weapon manufacturer corruption along with smuggling on the border.
I didn't say anything about Russia. Don't change the subject.

It may be the USA sending the weapons, but its with the backing of Ukraine's EU neighbors, part of NATO, who completely support them.
Need to be the akshually guy here. Russia is a deeply authoritarian state which has gotten a lot more authoritarian post war. However, it isn't fascist yet.
Yeah maybe it isn't considered to be yet. However it's pretty rich to hear pro Russian people calling Ukraine fascists as Russia continues move towards fascism.
True
The tankies love to slurp up Russian propaganda that Ukraine are fascists and that's why Russia are the good guys. If Russia isn't fascist then I don't know which country is, but if there were a scale then Russia is significantly closer to fascism than Ukraine.
