If "the west" isn't voting for Bush or Reagan then they're hailing people like Obama, who destroyed Libya and brought back open air slave markets - or Clinton who destroyed Belgrade and undermined social protections for workers. To think you are somehow better because you support(ed?) Genocide Joe is just delusion.
Whatβs your view on Trump?
Just as bad as Biden, Obama, Bush Jr., and both Clintons; deserving of the same International Criminal Court convictions as the five I just listed.
Fun fact: did you know the ICC has only ever prosecuted African nationals since its inception in 2002?
I hadn't done that much research into it, but I'd figured most of them were. Of course the ICC's just a Western white body to keep the mother continent under the settlers' thumb.
