The DPRK reluctantly puts a significant amount of time, effort and resources into building a strong military deterrence because U.S. imperialist aggressors still occupy the southern part of their country.

It’s too bad Venezuela doesn’t have nuclear weapons as a deterrence.

NATO needs to be abolished.

It’s nothing more than an imperialist, repressive organization used to threaten the sovereignty of non-member countries and use others (such as Ukraine) to stage proxy wars.

RFK Jr. says and does many things that I don’t condone, but doesn’t he want to hold the big pharmaceutical and food companies—often referred to as cartels—accountable for their greed-driven desire for profits at the expense of our health?

Previous Secretaries of HHS have been allies of big pharma.

…Venezuela’s population mired in poverty, they’re viewed as adversaries.

This isn’t a party-lines issue, either. Both Democrats and Republicans are opposed to Venezuela’s desire to uplift its people through the nationalization of its resources rather than making wealthy people even wealthier.

…sanctions, trade embargoes, and hostile U.S.-backed interventions, has been transformed for the better since Chavez and now Maduro have been at the helm.

Just because they won’t let U.S. and other western countries come in and plunder and loot their natural resources while keeping much of…

Imagine if it was China, Russia, Iran or one of our many perceived adversaries out patrolling international waters hundreds of miles from their shores and extrajudicially eliminating people in boats.

What would the U.S. and the Western world say about that?

Venezuela, in spite of crippling…

…working class people.

Voting just gives us the illusion that we have a choice.

Until we dismantle the greed-driven, exploitative, repressive capitalist/imperialist system, things will continue to get worse.

I still vote, but I realize it’s unlikely we’ll be able to vote our way out of this mess.

Sure, we should definitely try to ensure that we don’t have voter disenfranchisement, but as Emma Goldman famously said, "If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal."

Both the Democrats and Republicans serve wealthy people and big businesses while occasionally pretending to care about…

…and covertly) by the western imperialists, they’d likely have a flourishing nation, economy, and society.

Fortunately, they’ve made considerable progress in recent years and more countries are rejecting U.S. hegemony and unipolarity and have strengthened ties with the DPRK.

…maintain a huge military force for deterrence against the aforementioned imperialists who continue to occupy and maintain a significant military presence in the southern part of their country.

If it weren’t for the stranglehold of sanctions, trade embargoes, and continued threats (both overtly…

This is one of the ways they keep the governments, oligarchs, and corporations of imperialist countries, such as the United States, from meddling in their affairs.

I’m sure they’d rather put more of their efforts and resources into improving the lives of their citizens, but they’re forced to…

You’re probably right about Trump; he’s an idiot.

China is only a “threat” economically.

Xi Jinping is not a dictator—at least not in the way that western media has portrayed him.

Russia is advancing against the neo-nazi, U.S./NATO-backed Ukrainian puppet regime that provoked the conflict.

China isn’t a threat; the United States is.

They’re making a mistake by aligning themselves with the U.S. and Western governments.

What country has China attacked or invaded in the past few decades?

And the United States?

Exactly.

The empire is in decline.
