USA will aid Jamaica in the form of touristic corporations that will privatize their land (most of Jamaica's beaches are already restricted to locals), massive cruise ships full of ignorant tourists, and all this will report net negative value to their citizens because its exploitative nature. But the GDP will go up
You'd think a country like the US that claims to be Christian would remember the whole Thou Shalt Not Kill thing. Meanwhile, Venezuela is sending foreign aid and turning the other cheek.
United states are flatlining. The "Christians" here have replaced Jesus with a new Christ. Sorry actual Christians. Your name is being dragged through literal human feces.
US Christians are the most hypocritical of them all. I doubt many of them have even read their own book, and they sure as hell don't follow it.
Luke 3:10-11
And the crowds asked him, “What then shall we do?” And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.”
Those people really suck. Except for ALL the Venezuelans I've ever met, including my neighbors, and one of my best friends. They've all been great, but I'm sure the rest of them really suck.
At least the cartels want people to live, even if it is just to sell them drugs in order to escape this shitty reality for a while. The current US administration is indiscriminately attacking anybody unfortunate enough to appear to be a useful distraction from the damning evidence contained in the Epstein files.
I don't support terrorism, which is why I've never voted for Trump. The only hypocrisy here is yours - e.g. claiming to be a "Christian" while saying the things you have.
Does it ever get old viewing the world as either good or bad with no in-between?
The world is complicated and full of nuance. I'd be exhausted trying to sort everything is such a binary system.
It's a worldview that eliminates the possibility of people you identify as "good" to do bad and vice versa. The only way to keep it consistent ia to ignore all information that doesn't fit the binary worldview you've established
Every state (meaning country/government) supports terrorists. They only call it terrorism if it's a non-state actor though. Ignoring what we do to other places in the world, do you think policing in the US is terrorism? I don't see any way it isn't. Violence and fear for political gain is the definition.
You've just drank the kool-aid. You think what the state tells you is true and they can't lie. Terrorism is a valid and useful tool. Again, it's why every state uses it. It's only since about 9/11 where politicians and the media discovered they can call anything they don't like "terrorism" and get people like you to repeat the drivel.
SCOTUS told Trump he needs an actual war in central or south America to invoke the Alien Enemies act. He needs that to justify internment camps and to allow the military to support ICE.

Is giving free food with no strings attached terrorism, now?

My man, we are the terrorists here. We are murdering people halfway across the globe over false pretenses and with zero evidence.
What they are doing up Venezuela is literally state sponsored terrorism and war crimes.

Do I think policing in the USA is terrorism? Why yes I do! Would you like some recent or historical actions?

Venezuela is as good a target as any.
