American politics

Also today the US withdrew from every international treaty on climate change, environmental protection, violence against women and children, and peace building. I barely see a mention in MSM so far.
Edit - I see the story in the Guardian now

Sadly I think no one expects anything different. I was speaking to an American this afternoon when I mentioned Trump he shrugged his shoulders & said you can't stop him. He was right who is going to stop him
 
Just watching on the news a video taken from a higher level and I am gobsmacked at how what can be seen to have happened is in any way even close to what the DHS, Trump etc. are saying happened. Shocking.

I always judge thinks in America by the rule of thumb of "what would happen where Police had no access to guns" and you just feel these situations could firstly be avoided but also de-escalated much much better

Getting your gun out?....fudge me, seriously
Getting your gun out and firing it?...off the chain.

The lady ain't blocking the road...the road is very wide...it ain't a country lane.

Running an officer over to harm or kill him?....haha...the ice dudes think it's the wild West.

She was murdered

Not criticising the bloke, as it's easy to say that people should be standing up from thousands of miles away - but that kind of defeatism is what allows fascism to flourish.
 
But they won’t be better off because they are leaving the regime in place minus its figurehead. And they’ll have the added “bonus” of America ripping off and stealing their natural resources. Trump has also said they will be forced to only buy US (overpriced) goods.
Currently the only people benefitting from Venezuela's oil are Maduro's party and China.

The absolute worst case is that becomes Maduro's party and the US. So the very worst case is better. If the people of Venezuela begin to profit from that through jobs, infrastructure or a richer government then that's even better.

agree to disagree. Trumps taking America down the toilet and they’ll take Venezuela with them.
