From the article you linked.

The CIA, in the spring of 1977 and into 1978, told the Carter administration that Indonesia was literally running out of weapons, running out of bullets and bombs, because of the intensity of its bombardment of East Timor, and that the Suharto regime was requesting a doubling of military assistance so it could more effectively prosecute that war. And in 1978, the Carter administration actually increased military sales to Indonesia, including the provision of ground attack fighters, such as OV-10 Broncos, A-4 and F-5 ground attack fighters, which the administration knew would be used to bomb and attack the defenseless civilian population of East Timor.

What’s more, let’s pretend to be the most gullible person in the world, totally unaware of how the US has historically operated, and take Carter at his word. Was anyone prosecuted for lying to the president? Was anyone court martialed, did anyone in the CIA, State Department, or Department of Defense face any sort of legal repercussions? No?

Then I guess the US must have been pretty satisfied with the outcome, to not make any provisions to ensure it wouldn’t happen again or even punish those who led to it. And of course they were, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and Northrop Grumman must have made a literal killing.

It has jack shit to do with the point, you’re just using bad faith questions to deflect. You’re not original or sneaky.

Do you think genocide was acceptable, is my question, because you seem to be awfully concerned about the particulars, like you’re about to say “oh, well, where’s the solutions? Everyone wants to stop a genocide but nobody wants to provide alternatives”.

Thanks for this one can never have enough shit to listen while gardening

I’m about as happy as I would have been with a dem, which is to say I hope they die and take the US with them and leave the rest of us alone finally.

Are you at all able to communicate with others without resorting to deflection and loaded questions?

I’d rather there were an actual human in the white house (or there not be an USA at all) but since libs are so spineless I think it’ll take the complete collapse of the US economy to get y’all to stop treating politics like a fucking team sport. You could put Mussolini on the blue team and y’all would yell at everyone for not shutting up and vooooooting.

We’re almost there, thank fuck.

See? Perfect example.

Without the republicans, Dems would have no one to hide behind when their many genocides are recounted.

Not three months ago Gaza had a death toll well past fifty thousand by the most conservative estimates, not to mention the huge amounts of women and children maimed, malnourished and the wholesale destruction of the entire strip’s infrastructure.

Did the republicans do that or did y’all deny reality so much in the pursuit of tHe mOsT iMpOrTanT ElEctiOn oF oUr LiFeTimE that you don’t know what fucking color the sky is unless you ask the DNC first.

The republicans are not diametrically opposed to the democrats, they’re just the same shit but more brash, and (with Trump at the helm) too fucking incompetent to not say the quiet part out loud, maybe because they know their base is so rabid on American fascism that dogwhistles aren’t enough anymore, they need a fucking trumpet.

Kill enough republicans in a national civil war

And democrats, too. Don’t pretend they’re not just as responsible for keeping fptp voting, their party depends on it. If you don’t believe me, look into how coordinated the GOP and Democrats were when suing PSL and the Green party to keep them off several state ballots (and severely whittle down their grassroots funds with corporate-money lawfare). Spoiler: there was no overlap.

It’s one party, two wings.

Delusion is seeing Russia achieving their war goals (not the stupid fever dreams libs conjured up, but the stated war goals that serious analysts acknowledge), Ukraine near a complete state of collapse, their western sponsor squeezing them for ransom like we always said would happen, while Russia’s economy became the 4th largest in the world in terms of GDP adjusted for PPP during the course of the war, and then declare: “no, you see! This is a defeat in every way that counts”.

Terminally childish.

These delusions are what keep you from choosing the correct course of action in your political life.

As long as you refuse to see reality simply because you dislike it, you’re gonna keep fighting shadows while your enemy robs you of everything.

If windows didn’t have such horrible security and a kernel shoddily stacked on top of an MS-DOS base, IT depts wouldn’t need to install very invasive software like crowdstrike. Windows 11 also only boots up quick if it’s your daily driver and you have fast boot enabled (which isn’t always desirable).

In the biological sense of the world

Second most American thing after racism

We HAVE to vote for Hindenburg you stupid fucking commie, what, you want Hitler to win?

GW Bush? Why, are the democrats finally moving left?

Occam’s razor doesn’t mean “the view that contradicts my prejudices the least”. What you consider more or less likely has jack shit to do with it, learn what terms mean.

All sources have a built in bias jfc. If you think you’ve seen an unbiased source that just means you’re not self aware enough to recognize that it’s just your bias
