THE DC Primary
#31
RE: THE DC Primary
If trump really wins I don't think Putin or anyone will attack, I believe they'll just grab some popcorn like the rest of the world, except maybe china.

But so far I don't think trump will win as he is even getting hate from his republican buddies...

He's in the race until the convention, as he's said from the start. I don't see why he'd flip flop now, he's not Hillary Clinton.

Nobody votes until the convention, Min.

Yes, a lot will change between now and the contested Democratic Convention. Julian Assange said some very interesting things in an interview on June 12th. Apparently Wikileaks is preparing some more bombshells on Hilary, as was reported in other media. There will be another big leak sometime soon we're told. We surely find out Hilary has broken even more laws than she already has. If you don't believe Hilary has broken the law then you're not paying enough attention.

Assange, towards the end of the the interview said: "Hilary is a bit of a problem for freedom of the press". That's a scary thought. Sounds like she will be as bad as Donald. I am just as afraid of Hilary as I am of Donald. E.g.  Hilary was really pushing hard for bombing in Libya, even though the Pentagon was skeptical the e-mails show, and now Europeans have to face the consequences of her warmongering.

And that, ultimately, is what I want to see because the USA is the world's leading terror State - far and above any other, and it's about time the threat was neutralised.

With all due respect (and you don't deserve any for such a disgusting ill-informed comment like that)...FUCK YOU.

It's not my opinion Tiberius, it's the opinion of the informed world (as found in the 2013 End of year survey), and by any objective definition it's also true: The USA overturns other sovereign states at will, Clinton herself has even "authorised" illegal drone assassinations, even when it meant ignoring the Pentagon's advice (as it did when instigating the Libyan War). This is just an ongoing example of the philosophy of a pro-war nation. Why don't you try telling the Palestinians that they aren't living under US-lead terror?

Nothing Trump has said - and I mean nothing - is as bad as the actions that Clinton has taken in her part in instigating war on vulnerable regions of the world. The current refuges crisis was created by the United States - yet they aren't doing anything about it. Let me illustrate for you: You and I enjoy and want to continue to enjoy living under a democratic open-market society. If Another country wanted to invade our lands and convert our form of governance to something else, we would reject it. That's exactly what's happened in the Middle East, in regions where large numbers of people want to live under Sharia Law, and fear capitalism and democracy. Those nations would have changed in a positive direction slowly overtime as internal values and beliefs drive that change. The idea that you can overthrow a sovereign State and create the governance you want is primitive and medieval in its wisdom, it just beggers belief that anyone can seriously believe such shit. Make no mistake, every time the USA does this the outcome is negative. Negative to their stated intentions I mean., although of course it has some positive outcomes, though those usually relate to trade and not questions about the standard of living, quality of life, human rights, etc. You can't attack a people's form of governance and not expect them fight back to defend it: that's the very thing that we all celebrate about our fallen soldiers - is that they defended our lands. So it's counter-productive: You topple regimes like Saddam Hussein's, and ISIL rises in its place. Meanwhile ISIL carries out a relatively small number of terror attacks in direct response to this, those acts are of course rightly labelled terrorism. The definition of terrorism is: the use of violence for political means. At the same time, the USA carries out its own acts of terror in the Middle East, but at a much greater scale.

I want war hungry nations like America to stop instigating wars. And I don't see that happening without the country finally facing its due repercussions for invading, assassinating, orchestrating illegal coups, and otherwise refusing to recognise the sovereignty of foreign nation states. It's about time if you ask me that somebody put a stop to them, and at the very least disarmed their WMDs and put them into safer hands.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK
