> So the problem for the US and the Europeans has been from the very beginning: What is it you -- who is it you are going to try to arm? [Hillary Clinton -- Goldman Sachs speeches]
In a world where the US acknowledges its role funneling weapons to extremists, the mainstream media doesn't raise an eyebrow at drone-bombings and the President is openly running an extrajudicial kill-list out of the White House, having a presidential candidate suggest that torture is a legitimate tool of war isn't even comparatively retrograde.
If you don't vote, you lose it, so why mention this?
What are you referencing?
And BLM and MoveOn and Femen and all those well-funded (mostly by the same "billionaire philantrophist" famed for regime change since the late 80s) "activist groups". Brilliant stuff, back around the millenium "young liberal idealists" took to the streets against neocon governmental action like Kosovo war, the first post-9/11 wars, "WTO/world bank/IMF globalization" and such. Today, it is someone like Trump singlehandedly dismantling TPP and TTIP before even taking office, while this generation of young liberals are protected in very "safe spaces" from the knowledge of their governments' MENA meddlings, wedding dronings, or indeed good ole Guantanamo.. quite convenient for the "Democrats" of the last 8 years that most of the liberals/millenials go around in circles about gender and race and vegan superfoods. Real issues in society. ODDLY convenient!
Anyway, Congress in a bipartisan effort made it illegal to transfer prisoners into the US from Gitmo. Can't pin Gitmo entirely on Obama.
When asked about former CIA Director Michael Hayden’s recent comments that the military could defy unlawful orders to torture or kill civilians, Trump said, "They won’t refuse. They’re not going to refuse, believe me."
Thanks 50% of American voters. You're helping to make the world an even worse shithole than it already is.
Trump couldn't have done it without you.
