#obama policy

[luminalunii97]

Another life was taken unfairly. And it will continue until they've murdered the better half of the arrested protesters.

I knew tweeting #stop executions is not going to stop the regime. We've done it all before. As long as they see the worse they could get for commiting genocide is a tweet from eu spokesman they're going to keep killing us in the streets, in our homes and in the prison. They're not even fired from women's committee in united nations, can you believe that? Well fuck the regime, and fuck the foreign politicians. There's another call for demonstration and there's going to be more deaths and arrests. Biden and Josep Borrell can buy popcorn and watch. We won't stop until the last one of us is murdered.

This is a tweet from an Iranian citizen that speaks all of our minds

[Image translation: For 43 years, the world powers waged fake war on mullahs based on their own benefits. Now they just condemn and sanction. When are they going to call their ambassadors home and fire mullahs' ambassadors?? Ok I get it, when this regime killed all 80 million of us they're going to make a statement and say "this regime is reformed now, they don't have any oppositions"!!! ]

#they kill us with french bullets #usa debate on either they should release some of iran blocked money NOW #like what obama did in 2009 #all we asked for was for west to not help them #but they won't even do that #west doesn't want democracy or regime change for iran #and they give platform to niac to make sure my people won't have a voice #iran revolution #mahsa amini #iran protests #human rights #politics #feminism #help iran #iran #genocide #crimes against humanity #us politics #eu politics #foreign policy #middle east matters too

let's do whatever we can to wipe this smirk off his face. maybe if enough people learn his face he'll never know peace. hope he never sits down for a meal again without getting yelled at.

#i was like 'what does this guy know about egypt?' then i learned he used to advice obama on his foreign policy in MENA. ah. #threatening an egyptian man with getting the mukhabarat to torture his family is a level of vile i can't fathom #like. i knew they treated us bad over there but holy shit.

[cpntredbeard]

Yeah, fine. Nobody wants to be reminded about how bad Biden is. So here's one I made about Obama. We will return to our regularly schedules programming of mocking whoever is currently in charge just as soon as democrats lose interest in my message the day after the election x.x check out @usauthoritarianism

as far as lok is concerned, i think that others have said this before, but the shoddy writing of it all, and the mistreatment of its awesome characters - i believe it reflects on bryke's political & social leanings as cis-white men with political beliefs not so dissimilar to the biden-type democrats we're having today - and it doesn't reflect well on them! idk just thinking on how lok dropped the ball on addressing political topics - both period-wise (during 2012) and currently, right?

i mean, yeah, but it’s also weird because atla (for the most part) set such a good precedent, so the politics of lok just feel so confusing if we are to interpret it as an extension of the politics of avatar in any way. ideologically, lok is such an incoherent jumble of ideas, that mostly amounts to liberal bullshit. i’ve always thought that if atla is a perfect bush-era text in the sense that it challenges & confronts (US) imperialism, lok is a perfect obama-era text in the sense that it seems quite progressive on the surface, but look even slightly deeper and it becomes clear that the status quo isn’t being challenged, it’s just been painted over with a glossy sheen. 

#lyricsbetweenthewaters #asks #lok crit #dems rly saw obama get elected and were like 'okay problems solved america is good now' #like both shows are rly a product of their time #but one is incredibly critical of US policies #and the other is all about maintaining the status quo????? #its. weird. to say the least #that said korrasami changed lives pop pop

I like. wasn't still upset about a couple awful professors I had freshmen year. like this was a funny story at this point

until ratemyprofessor let me know my reviews were deleted! they don't provide the TEXT of the deletions, or the reason. And maybe I did write something mean in a way that would conflict with their guidelines, i can't definitively deny name calling at this point though I don't remember doing so

So you better believe I replaced reviews of Only Art 1010 Professor At This School, Who Teaches His Opinion As Fact And Gets Nasty If You Disagree (likely removal reason: 50/50 chance of something along the lines of "masturbatory" was in there, because he also used HIS OWN ART as an "objective" example of good art) and the guy who 1) refused to believe I was absent due to a stomach bug, 2) was REAL sure it was a mental health issue, 3) decided it was His job to make sure it was dealt with (NO I'm not telling you what antidepressant I take or switching to a new one on your recommendation!), 4) got mean when I reiterated that it was a stomach bug and also, a music professor is not qualified to determine that in any way shape or form 5) reported me to the wellness center AFTER the semester ended (like a month and a half after the conversation happened) that I was suicidal (I was not, and I DEFINITELY didn't indicate such to him)

and i am actually angry about it again!

#like... those reviews are OLD #if they were such big policy breakers... it would've come up years ago #so... a bit suspicious of who reported them! #especially the music guy. dude has all 4s and 5s? FULLY half my class was 3 or below on him i call bs #ink post #rambling #in retrospect as a non-freshman i would've tried to report music guy #but also... Inch Resting that this conversation took place because he insisted on WALKING WITH ME to my next class #and we were outside without any witnesses.... like this never made it into an EMAIL #and by the time i was at the point of actually this is bonkers something should be done #i wasnt willing to invest the time to battle 'she's suicidal but doesn't want to admit it' as a preconception #and at the time i thought it was weird but he was also a super tryhard 'ally' so figured it was annoying but harmless #like its a p white school so it never came up with race but re: feminism queer ppl mental illness etc ... #picture the equivalent of the 'i would have voted for obama a third time if they let me' conversation from get out

Upon assuming office, President Richard Nixon reportedly told his staff that foreign policy was to be handled by the White House, "not by the striped-pants faggots in Foggy Bottom."

The offensive language apart, such uneasiness about the State Department appears to be the rule rather than the exception. Recent presidents seem quickly to have concluded that, except for the Secretary and a handful of others, people in State are not to be trusted. Many New Deal, Kennedy, and Carter Democrats believed State to be hidebound and resistant to progressive policies; many Eisenhower, Nixon, and Reagan Republicans were convinced it was infested with suspect left-wingers and liberals. Regardless of party, presidents often are predisposed to blame State for unauthorized leaks of sensitive information.

#politiposting #foreign policy #richard nixon #look. there's a reason i find the diplomacy arm of the us government so interesting 😭😭 #dick nixon's homophobia once again being peak comedy 50 years later #the year 1987 is importantttt. i mean not like bush or clinton were much better but this pov very much does cut off at the reagan era #bush jr's first term sidelined State so hard for the jackasses at the DoD. rip 😔 #obama's 1st term was him trying not to get couped by the DoD lmao while also letting clinton run state but not toooo much #so basically Yeah im also most interested in 2013 and Kerry for a reason thats basically when State finally got in sync #the current Biden admin also is full of State ppl. so. it only took 35 years for this article's trend to reverse a little bit! #pour one out for the striped-pants faggots at foggy bottom

If patrons continue to refuse to order before asking their invasive questions, or declare their inane comments, or indeed, divulge their latest gossip directly into mine ear, I will assign you an order based on vibes alone.

#this is now store policy #it is law *slaps desk like Obama*

[soshinee]

liberal and centrist freaks ALWAYS find a way to blame bernie for shit like i hate to break it to you beloved but this is happening with YOUR guy in office. maybe if we had less of a limp dick potus we wld be in a better place. but go ahead and keep complaining abt “bernie bros” like we weren’t fucking SAYING this wld happen w biden

#don’t rb #i’m just so annoyed. like why r leftists the scapegoats for liberals too now. #not even blaming trump or obama for it when they r both much more culpable directly #like the fuck did bernie do was he the person appointing justices? was he the one saying he wasn’t prepared to codify abortion ? LMFAO. #THIS FUCKING ‘LIBERAL INFIGHTING’ IS WHY REPUBLICANS R THRIVING RN BTW #notice how they r a minority power this election cycle and yet it seems that THEIR policies are still getting passed #those bitches do not play by the rules they don’t give a fuck abt respectability and they certainly don’t care abt legitimacy

Ex-Obama White House: “Killing of 4,000 Palestinian kids wasn’t enough”

Videos surfaced online on Tuesday showing a former adviser to former US President Barack Obama making Islamophobic remarks and harassing a food vendor in New York.

The videos, posted on the X website (formerly Twitter), show former US government official Stuart Seldowitz making provocative remarks about the Prophet and the Koran. He is also heard saying that killing 4,000 Palestinian children in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas is “not enough.” Seldowitz says:

 “If we killed 4,000 Palestinian kids, you know what, it wasn’t enough. It wasn’t enough.”

In one video, Seldowitz accuses the seller of supporting Hamas and calls him a “terrorist.” In another video, he refers to his “friends in immigration” and mentions “Mukhabarat,” apparently referring to the Egyptian intelligence service. He says, while the vendor repeatedly asks him to leave, stating he doesn’t speak English:

“The Mukhabarat in Egypt will get your parents. Does your father like his fingernails? They’ll take them out one by one. Tell me why I should go? I’m standing here. I’m an American. It’s a free country. It’s not like Egypt.”

this is your daily reminder that it's been over 65 years since cuba overthrew batista's US-backed fascist dictatorship and the US is STILL keeping cuba in extreme poverty using an "embargo."

back in the 1950s, using US funds and US-trained soldiers, batista (not castro) removed most of cubans' rights, including the right to strike, censored all media, and used secret police to torture and publicly excute anyone who protested his dictatorship. In a document released by the CIA in 2005, it stated as many as 20,000 people were killed. In return, batista gave control of most of the arable land to the US. during the revolution, this land was reclaimed and redistributed, which means that USAmericans can now sue anyone who "traffics" in this "confiscated" property.

Despite US sanctions being an "embargo," the US also fines foreign companies for doing business in Cuba, meaning it's effectively a blockade. Despite Obama lightening some of these restrictions, Biden has done little to undo the tightened policies from Trump's administration.

In November, the UN called for the 31st time (!!!) for the US blockade to end, supported by 187 countries and opposed only by the US and its bestest buddy (I'll let you guess who).

Cuba has been in economic crisis for years. Monthly income in Cuba is $30-60. There is very little food and it is hard to purchase anything like toiletries, clothes, and over-the-counter medicines. Domestic production is down because they don't have the resources to sustain them. The US has been intentionally impoverishing and starving Cuba for decades, and they continue to make it clear that it is not going to stop.

So, yeah. US democracy is a joke, end the US blockade on Cuba, and fuck genocide joe.

#the americans arent gonna like this one yall #free cuba #end the US blockade #end the US embargo #hands off cuba #hands off yemen #free palestine #free puerto rico #end US imperialism #stop the US war machine

How Democrats learned to defend Israel’s ethnocracy

For a very long time, the United States worked diligently to stay away from the tense debate over Israel’s ability to be both a Jewish and democratic state. Even as Palestinians cried out about their lack of freedom and basic rights and their lives proved that a state having an ethno-religious character was mutually exclusive with it being a democracy for anyone not of that ethnicity, and even as…

Like why is it specifically European-type leftists who have zero sense of pragmatism or... basic politics. Like okay great you can repeat all the right words etc but you're never gonna have more than 10% of the vote...

#tangential but also dont apply lenin in 1914 to obama in 2014. the us had some very significant changes in between #no rhetoric exists in a void unaffected by other world leaders. if lenin dealt w obama's foreign policy he would have wrote different things #because his works were custom tailored to the times they were written. and not to be a broken record but wildrow wilson=/=barack obama #pre ww1 europe =/= post ww1 ww2 cold war europe #rambles #politiposting
