WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK WOULD MAKE YOU TYPE SUCH GIBBERISH THAT HAS NO MEANING WHATSOEVER!?
This is well articulated. I think many on the left, myself included, have gotten bogged down in the rhetorical back and forth. They give questionable justifications (WMDs, narco terrorism) and we go to work researching and explaining why these things don't hold water. Whereas others (perhaps you here?) would brush aside their cover story and not even bother to joust over its factuality since it's bound to be bullshit and we all know what the Trump is in this for. This is even simpler to do than it was a couple decades ago because Trump is wired to say the quiet part so very loud.llllllllllllllllllll wrote: Mon Jan 05, 2026 1:27 pm Even if you’re only talking about extradition, the Noriega thing was way different. He was a CIA asset actually involved with smuggling and drugs that the US was well aware of and not part of a fictitious cartel. He also wasn‘t sitting on top of a huge oil reserve that that been expropriated by the state. He was a right wing fuckwad that was revealed to be a part of an even bigger scandal and was an embarrassment that had ran afoul of his protectors.
I think that when we look at this stuff we should fight when we feel ourselves falling back on hollywood caricatures of latin american drug lords just because that’s how we’re taught to look at this stuff because that is exactly what right wing assholes are counting on you doing. This is part of a bigger war between an ex-colony and a super power that feels entitled to it. To continue harping on drugs - which pales in the face of the actual resources at play - in this context is akin to going on about weapons of mass destruction in the second Iraq war.

When the choir is tone deaf...
I have no idea what you are trying to get anyone to say/admit to but being a dick and posting from social media doesn't generally work toward anything but "rage," as you appear to have have embodied.
I had no idea that anyone with a rational thinking skills would be so ignorant of bigger pictures implications, but here we are. And then again, maybe I'm giving them too much credit for having those skills in the first place.
Which bigger picture implications is anyone/everyone here ignorant of? Why don't you lay it all out for us? What has been missed or not mentioned?Lu Zwei wrote: Mon Jan 05, 2026 2:36 pmI had no idea that anyone with a rational thinking skills would be so ignorant of bigger pictures implications, but here we are.
