I'm no historian, but it seems authoritarian states end via war. How many have ended peacefully, i.e. without a war or military coup?

This is one of the best LBC interviews I've seen. Sadly the UK has officially bent the knee and kissed the gangsters ring.

It's official. America is taking Venezuela's oil. Obviously Maduro was a bad guy and few will object about him being removed from power. But that's not what this is about. It's about GREED.

Now the Republican gang has turned to piracy to start collecting the oil. This is what the Republicans have wanted all along. It was pretty obvious that they wanted to steal the oil and the war on drugs was just pretext.

That tiny little boat was allegedly going to travel 1000 km of open ocean to smuggle drugs into America? No they are not war criminals, because there was no war. Just ordinary garden variety murderers.

The American government is so evil. It's bad enough to give up large portions of land, but to demand that Ukraine cap its military at 50% of it's current size is pure evil. www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

The Canadian federal government has allowed the sale of another strategic company to the American Empire. Parkland (which owns B.C.'s Chevron, Esso, & the Burnaby refinery) is now under American control. All the federal government's talk of building a strong Canada is nothing more than talk.

America is currently a lot like the Planet of the Apes movie. The science denying gorillas, MAGA, are in charge and it's a mess. We need the more rational, science believing chimps, in charge 😁.

Hillbilly Isis. I hadn't heard that term for MAGA people before. Seems suitable.
