Trump takes the podium at the United Nations General Assembly, brace yourselves #UNGA
Trump brags to #UNGA about record spending on American military, says its the strongest it has ever been. Sounds like a threat.
"Terrorists & extremists have spread 2 every part of the world ... traffic drugs weapons ppl threaten our borders" Jeez this is dark #UNGA
"From the beaches of Europe to the deserts of the middle east to the jungles of Asia" America was always benevolent, says Trump #UNGA🤔
"The scourge of a planet today is a small group of rogue regimes. If the righteous men do not confront the wicked few, evil will triumph"
Did they copy this speech from a Marvel comics screenplay?
Trump argues that North Korea is the source of evil, says "we may have no choice but totally destroy North Korea." US already did, see 1950s
Now he's switching to demonizing Iran, which he calls a "corrupt dictatorship ... whose chief exports are chaos."
This is so crazy, if not for Iran capitals across the region would have fallen to ISIS, which US policy empowered.
Did Saudi Arabia write this speech?
Iranian regime's support 4 terror is stark contract to neighbors opposition 2 terrorism, like Saudi Arabia, says Trump. lol, this is a joke
At times like this, never forget how America knowingly backed genocidal groups in Syria that worked alongside Al Qaeda and ISIS.

Leaked documents reveal a covert government-funded influence operation and smear machine that is colluding with journalists to propagandize the public under the guise of combatting Russian disinformation. And the mainstream press is totally ignoring it grayzoneproject.com/2019/01/08/new…
“Through cash inducements & off the record briefings, the Integrity Initiative has sought 2 organize journalists across the West into an international echo chamber hyping up the threat of Russian disinformation & 2 defame politicians & journalists critical of this new Cold War”
“A newly released Integrity Initiative document reveals that the outfit plans an aggressive expansion across the US.”

It’s ironic that western governments are guilty of precisely what they insist the Russians are doing with regard to disinformation. And no one seems to care.

1/ Even when the US withdraws from areas it is occupying it finds a stupid way to do it.
2/ Trump is going to hand over north eastern Syria to Turkey and its local Sunni extremist mercenary forces who hate the Kurds, like militias from Der Ezzor who are part of Euphrates Shield forces, in addition to Jeish al Islam remnants from Douma.
3/ This will create the perfect zone for a revival of ISIS and similar forces who will have a second chance to pursue their goals and threaten the fragile stability that was emerging in Iraq and Syria.

There’s a segment of the left that has clear ideas about foreign policy, but they’re often drowned out or attacked by both the establishment & pro interventionist segments of the left (like with Syria). Part of the problem is the (weak) western left is fractured on foreign policy
Then there is a segment of the left that is somewhat indifferent about foreign policy. They want free healthcare and higher education for all but they won’t engage with the cost of US empire bc either they don’t care or they recognize that anti-imperialism provokes intense attack
Which is a huge shame bc it’s an argument the left should be making. Billions and billions of dollars are spent on sustaining wars, starting new wars and subjugating weaker countries, while Americans can’t afford basic medical care.

For the last 24 hours I've been texting & calling with refugees in Libya. 500 are apparently stuck in a Tripoli prison w/o food & water after heavy fighting broke out two days ago. They say their guards ran away, leaving them alone.
These refugees are men, women & children. They tried to cross the Mediterranean earlier this year, but were found by Italian boats, who turned them over to the EU-backed Libyan coastguard, who put them in prison. The conditions were already terrible before the fighting started.
Oh the phone earlier I could hear children crying & what sounded like bombing in the distance. The refugees say everyone's incredibly frightened. "We hear machine guns, tanks, big bombs, last night from the roof it was all fire."
