Agreed. It is also a continuation of everything bad this country has done and aspired to since its conception. It is not new, just more blatant and overt.

Any chance we can stop with the "greatest country on earth" exceptionalism? For that to be true we would have to ignore that America was invaded, not discovered and is built on genocide, slavery and criminal capitalism. The Trump years just added moronic dementia and more overt criminality.

Yes 100%. With the stuff going on in the US right now, funding it would be political suicide and in some ways treasonous.
Using taxpayer dollars to beat them up? I think not.
