A View from the Outside

SW is a US based operation. So its only reasonable that the American perspective is heavily represented. But when you cut to the chase, Americans represent less than 5% of the worlds people. Certainly the most morbidly obese, (and seemingly proud of it) well armed and self congratulating 5%.. But still only 5%. So I think its only fair that Americans get get a view of how others from the outside see them and their views on current events withing America, as seem from outside. Even Americans admit how poorly news and current events are being reported within America. So think of it as my "Public Service"
Lets start with this:
A few thousand National guardsmen and several hundred Marines march into Los Angeles uninvited by the state (due process ignored) and unwanted by the governor. Now from an outside perspective, should they be there? But skipping over that.. It would seem that the federal authorities have put "the right people" in place of the military and the national guard to have those orders followed without anyone questioning if the orders were indeed legal. So if any state now does something Donald objects to, he can put down the "insurrection" using the military, whether it is legal or not and the state can do nothing about it..
Thats how it looks from here..😷

Rioting, looting, and obstructing a federal government procedure in Los Angeles: National Guard and Marines.

Rioting, looting, and obstructing a federal procedure in Washington DC: blanket pardons.


That tells you everything.

@trollslayer I agree. Skipping over the right and wrong of it, the two incidents should have the same response..😷
@whowasthatmaskedman And on January 6th, 2020, what was tRUMP’s response while his brainwashed cult members attacked the Capitol and wounded 140 Capitol police who were doing their duty to quell his violent, senseless, and criminal mob?

He watched it on TV.
