Democrats are so ready to rehabilitate capitalist war criminals, including the one that they detested in the 2000s. Watch them do this with Trump in 10 years.

More like 3-4 times that, but the point stands.

just a reminder for y’all

carter: the operation eagle claw debacle, responsible for severing ties with the soviets when they invaded afghanistan (and laying the groundwork for funding the mujaheddin), forcibly capped cuban refugee entry

clinton: bombed iraq three separate times, upheld the no-fly zones, ordered the bombing of yugoslavia, responsible for the disastrous intervention in somalia

bush: the american intervention in afghanistan, the toppling of the iraqi government, the entire blackwater war crimes scandal, GTMO, Abu Ghraib (don’t google that), blamed the israeli airstrikes in gaza on the palestinians

obama: responsible for toppling the libyan government, leading to actual fucking slave markets, gave the go-ahead for the saudi war crimes in yemen, ordered drone strikes on civilian targets also in yemen, hit syria with cruise missiles and funded jihadi forces in idlib, which by proxy ended up supporting Da’esh (ISIL)

Carter always gets "not like the other girls" treatment when he continued funding the Indonesian military dictatorship during the peak of the genocidal violence during occupation of Timor-Leste, which killed over a third of the indigenous population.

Friendly reminder that if the judgements of the Nuremburg Trials were enforced after WW2, every US president since FDR would be hanged as a war criminal.

Oh, incidentally: it has since come out that Obama greenlit the CIA to help destabilize the left-leaning government of Brazil and bring Bolsonaro to power. So when you read about the Amazon rainforests dying because Bolsonaro encouraged mining companies to set fires to clear land (and force the natives off)? That was Obama (and Biden).

None of these men would have been okay with losing a quarter of a million Americans.” The tweet features a black and white photo of Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and George Bush, all wearing suits and ties and staring off to the right of the camera. The second tweet is a quote tweet of the first by Valentina @/LeftistThot420, who asks, “What about a quarter of a million Iraqis?” /End ID]

This is only a fraction of the issues the world is facing. This is not to say that Muslim’s are only facing hardship, I am simply trying to raise awareness about these specific countries. This post doesn’t cover all of it. Our brothers and sisters in Syria, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Albania, Kurdistan and so many more are still suffering. ⁣These are beautiful countries that are masked by war and famine.

All I hope from each of you is that you learn something new each day. If you’re reading this right now it is likely you come from a place of privilege. Use that privilege to educate yourself and stay informed on the issues this world is facing today. ⁣

Kashmir

For years, India and Pakistan have been fighting over Kashmir, and although Kashmir wants to be independent, India still has control over it and India has detained innocent Kashmirs for just over a year, stopping them from seeing their families. They are under military lockdown.

Bangladesh

Nearly a quarter of Bangladesh is underwater according to NASA satellites, with hundreds of thousands displaced due to heavy rains/monsoons. Three out of five people in country are facing severe economic and health vulnerabilities. Bangladesh's ready-made garment sector accounts for 80% of the country's total export earnings, and has experienced a huge hit since the pandemic.

Indian Muslims

India's Muslim community have been subjected to discrimination, attacks and assault by right-wing Hindu nationalists. Since 1950 roughly 10,000 Muslims have been killed due to Modi promoting islamophobia, it's still going on.

Rohingya

Rohingya Muslims were ethnically cleansed, murdered, raped and on August 2017, a crackdown by Myanmar on the Rohingya Muslims meant that hundreds of thousands had to flee their homes, and since then they haven't been settled.

Afghanistan

Due to over 40 years of war, there are 2 million refugees and a lot of the country is in disrepair. Millions don't have access to healthcare, education, and everyday needs.

PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO YALL BC THIS TYPE OF SHIT IS STILL GOING ON TODAY. AT LEAST THE FIRST COUPLE SECONDS!

Spy satellites are revealing Afghanistan’s lost empires

For archaeologists, Afghanistan is virtually off-limits for fieldwork, as Taliban forces battle the Kabul government in far-flung provinces and security remains tenuous even in the capital. Yet U.S. and Afghan researchers are now finding thousands of never-before-cataloged ancient sites in the country, which for more than a millennium served as a crucial crossroads linking East and West. The discoveries promise to expand scholars’ view of long-vanished empires while giving the battered nation a desperately needed chance to protect its trove of cultural heritage.

In a collaboration funded by the U.S. Department of State, archaeologists are analyzing commercial satellite data, along with U.S. spy satellite and military drone images, which offer a fine-grained view of remote sites that are too dangerous for researchers to visit. Read more.

A) Very cool. B) When you place “revealing” over the word “empires,” the v leaps into the next line so I read “Spy Satellites are Revealing Afghanistan’s Lost Vampires.” I would absolutely show up for that.
