My president talks like power statements and moral statements are the same.
"You don't have the cards."
"Accept the deal or keep fighting."
Yes those are both true. They're facing an unfair ultimatum facilitated by a country much more powerful than them who doesn't care that their borders have been invaded by a country whose personnel were caught admitting that they kill unarmed civilians (as if everyone doesn't already know) — an ultimatum that will either leave them without vital resources that were hard earned, suffered to achieve and rightfully theirs, or leave them vulnerable to their homicidal neighbor — or both.
"You're gambling with World War 3."
He just says these things and no one bats an eye and everyone just moves on like these aren't awful things to say. It's disgusting to try to tell the victim of an invasion what THEY are "gambling with". They know. They live there.
All this is not to mention his silence and/or support for genocides and atrocities elsewhere in the world.
I know this post will meet a lot of criticism from oblivious psychopaths who think it's okay to justify women and children being murdered for the heinous crime of being born in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm too tired to engage it today.
The people in power in this country are appalling and we just accept it as normal. Then turn around and think we have the right to criticize other countries for their faults.
You know the fat rich bureaucrat in the action movies who just sits around and lets the main villain get away with awful shit because he's too corrupt and concerned about money and his reputation? That's us.
