Less people want to do anything outside of the US, people want to ditch NATO and Ukraine, they want to tell Taiwan to go to hell and focus more on actually improving the country, and it's not even a strictly partisan thing. The country is sick of dealing with other people's shit around the globe, and it'd be impossible for any country to actually invade the US and assimilate the people, so it very well could just stop one of these days and never worry about becoming China's bitch like Russia or Europe could (if they don't further centralize and work together more).

      This is a good video, but it's making a simple point about a complex issue. Many of the elected governments in South America were "Socialist" and therefore the same as communism. Given that the previous governments were basically fascist and controlled by big business it is understandable why they would vote in such a government.
      Notice that the US doesn't do this so much anymore, or not so directly. The last case would be Iraq, before that...thinking Panama? Notice we haven't done anything militarily to Venezuela but we have done a lot economically.
      But it is human nature for the strong and rich to exploit the weak and poor. (Wink, wink, look at conditions inside the US. We're our own worst enemy. It isn't the people of the US supporting these coups usually but elites at the top.)

      Of course. When u strongly believed in something all your life, it's becomes very personal n core believe. Around this believes u build your views n morals n reason and then one day some random dude appears from nowhere n tries to tell u, things are a bit different in reality. Ppl take that sort of information very personally. Straight away many get frustrated n even angry. They won't even be able to logically explain why they got so upset and emotional and in denial. It's all due to this information shocked their core believes. It goes against everything they know about one or another subject. That's hard to take. That's one of the main reason secret services train their personnel to have critical thinking skills. To question everything u learn n see with healthy sciptism n logic. It's helps to see things as they are n also bring information back without bias or at least with minimum bias. We all have bias. In some subjects it's stronger than in other. Again all goes back to our emotions n how we feel about it. If u learn how to observe things without getting emotional, ull have better chances to see it as it is, instead of seeing what u want to see subconsciously. Critical thinking is a key. In reality many ppl never heard about critical thinking, so how can they think that way 😊? Theres exceptions but as we know exceptions only prove rules exist.

      Actually they prefer idiots like Johnny to pose as truth tellers. Just look at guys like joe rogan or russel brand, they talk about real issues but frequently say things that are dumb and flat out wrong. So when the average joe tries to talk about the same issues he gets lumped in with the fools instead of being taken serious.

    Yah, we American's created radical Islam
    in its current form 70 years ago in 1953 when we and the British overthrew Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh's government and installed the Shaw of Iran. We did it bold face because the British-Iranian Oil Company (today BP) was ripping off the Iranians and would not provide access to accounting of how much oil they were taking. Mosaddegh's government then threatened to nationalize their oil reserves and look for a better more honest deal. The British offered the US a cut of the oil contract if they helped and the US used its contact in the Iranian Army to bribe them to overthrow their government and install the Shaw. The Shaw as such an oppressive dictator with such a brutal secret police that the only safe space for those who opposed him was in Mosques. Thus the connection between politics and national Isamists.

      Ukraine is where it is today is because Russia (Putin) wants to force its will on a neighbor through war… so saying “US meddled” sounds like removing the cause for the deaths rn destruction away from what matters most and removes capacity from Ukrainians.
