US President Donald Trump delivered a fascist rant Tuesday to the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in which he proclaimed “America First” should be the world’s organizing principle, threatened war and aggression the world over, and lionized the criminal actions of his administration at home and abroad.

He attacked both America’s ostensible allies and states long in Washington’s military-strategic crosshairs in a meandering speech that lasted almost triple his allotted time.

Trump reveled in displaying his disdain and contempt for international law, making clear that Washington will accept no restraints on the ruthless assertion of its imperialist interests, whether through trade war, assassinations, regime-change operations or global war.

    Well, after reading the whole thing… they have equally bad things to say about Russia and China, so I don’t think the article is written by a tankie. And even tho I disagree with their claims that Europe is sabotaging the peace talks in Ukraine (it’s obvious to most people that russia doesn’t wanna give up the land that they’ve taken and Ukraine isn’t happy to concede it either), I also can’t say for sure that they’re not. World leaders are known to be lying cunts and it wouldn’t surprise me to hear that they are indeed doing that. They probably think it’s a good thing that Russia is spending so much time and resources in Ukraine.
