Maybe this is not so outlandish if you consider the slow sliding to far-right across all of Europe in the lasf few years. Fascists standing together, and all that.

I mean, the Marshall Plan was benevolent.

No, it wasn't. It was meant to stop the URSS from expanding further west, and as a bonus shackle the rebuild countries as loyal lapdogs that attended to any and every USA whim.

USAID and similar may make us net beneficial to Africa.

Mostly posturing. If the USA were serious about benefitting Africa they'd do something similar to what China is doing right now, partnering and building infrastructure, instead merciless exploitation and throwing a few breadcrumbs here and there.

Let’s not talk about South America.

But we should. What the USA has done here can only be labelled as evil. Overthrowing governments left and right, supporting murderous dictatorships, merciless exploitation like what it did in Africa as well. Foul, evil stuff.

Russia too developed hypersonic missiles exactly to counter that very same American strategy

IIRC the russians were buying hypersonic missiles from Iran

Venezuela has to “decide” by storming the streets at this point

Still up to them. Being a foreigner you may even cheer for either side, as long as you don't send armies there to plunder and murder.

So you say. But it's up to the people of Venezuela do decide that and then act upon it, not the deranged USA administration.

Personally I'd rather all racists burn, oppressed or not

Israel little by little is losing their moral high ground

And how could they lose something they never had?

Euthanasia implies consent. Without consent, it's murder.

It wouldn't be a fight, it would be a massacre. Untold thousands dead, millions of refugees. Knowing this, how could you possibly wish for it?

Moraes, Toffoli and Mendes. Archvampire Temer was involved too. É um acordo com Supremo, com tudo

I've since been informed even some STF ministers acknowledge and support the bill, so scratch that.... it will pass

EDIT: STF = Brazillian supreme court
