I just don’t know what the FIFA Peace Prize means these days.
it means shakira will sing a song for you
It’s the prize you get for ensuring the FIFA leadership peace of mind from pesky corruption investigations.
The real story here isn’t asshat Trump. It’s that the US can’t keep its hands to itself, and it’s been that way for decades. Trump is just the new boss. The next one will also attack various countries.
The US has always been ruled by corporate interests. Presidents come and go, but money and the love of it will always remain.
Ah ‘both sides’. Yes. The quantity of countries per president doesn’t matter.
Yes, it’s bad that other presidents authorized attacks on other countries that they shouldn’t have. But also yes, Trump is objectively the greater evil.
Not both side. One side. The US side. Versus the rest of us. I don’t give two fucks about your shit political parties. I give a fuck about how your country uses the rest of the world as its litter box.
Literally both sides. There’s a reason the term “foreign policy consensus” exists. And if we’re merely looking at quantity per president, Obama was a bigger warmonger than Bush.
Yeah, I don’t see establishment democrats doing much different when it comes to foreign policy.
Any war Trump starts, they’ll perpetuate and support. They MIGHT start less of them, but they’ll continue any existing ones and start a few of their own with the right incentives.
It does show that Trump is the handsiest of them all though…
When has the US ever kept our hands to ourselves? We’re clearly insane.
Thank you for your comment, now that Selena Gomez song is stuck in my head.

If anything, it probably highlights how weak he is in the machine.

You mean the middle east and latin America always pay the price.
Probably gonna need to be updated soon.
America itself will soon be on the list.
Soon? The American people are under attack. Their constitution is under attack.
But they’re not being literally bombed by their military. That’s the “soon” part.
Well, they’ve got ICE thugs kidnapping people off the streets.
But it probably won’t count as an invasion or war until civil war breaks out.
So…March?
Philly has joined the chat.
America First!
If only. The rest of us out here in the outside world would have much preferred America to start the punching with its own face. I guess they kind of did, but it’s getting everywhere now.
Yeah, the one benefit of Trump is he doesn’t spare the imperial.core from American horrors
Looks like Cuba is next.
One of them is a Nobel Peace Prize winner.
One is a FIFA Peace Prize Winner
One of the highest distinctions one can achieve in the seediest underbellies of the world, I’m told.
That’s just the ones directly. That’s none attacked by
paid proxyterrorist forces.Or coerced/bullied/threatened into obedience.
The Yanks have always been war mongering pieces of shit.
And apart from the revolutionary war never had troops invaded them, so the general public has no idea what a war is actually like
You’re thinking of the War of 1812, but otherwise, yeah. There have been Wars on US soil since then, but no foreign invasions.
Even counting civil conflicts, The Mine Wars were an entire gun shooting, bomb dropping, war in West Virginia, and even that was 100 years ago, in the 1920s.
Probably gonna add Canada, Mexico and Cuba to that list here soon. The old codger is getting desperate.
Well Mexico should already be on there. And arguably Cuba. I would say a blockade is an attack.
There’s a Joe in the George column
The placement is by order, not position. However, I think position would be better.
UNACCEPTABLE!
Why is America not on this list? ICE are terrorists hell-bent on destroying America in trump’s name.
I wanna see that and which ones get a Netanyahu of Approval™️
nO nEw WaRs!
It’s kinda surreal that of this chart, every country that Trump and W bombed, Obama did too
Obama appointed bush’s minister of war and economy before inauguration. He was a wolf in sheep’s clothes.
I probably would have fallen for it, granted I was sixteen when he was elected for his second term
I remember (canadian here) in grad school and my class asked if it could be canceled because of the inauguration and I stood up and said, no, I am paying for this class. My peers sneered but I dont care. I had the right hunch. Obama was a neoliberal warmaker. To be fair, even Obama doesnt understand why he got the novel peace prize (he has admitted it multiple times). Ill give him that!
Because the Nobel committee are also neoliberals.
I’m sorry that you got pulled into that crap, I celebrate the distinct and vibrant culture of Canada 🇨🇦
Of course you could have been attending grad school in the states as a Canadian as well, I don’t know your story
Weird wording, so I had to look this one up to confirm.
First we don’t have “Minister of War” or “Minister of Economy.” I’m guessing you meant Secretary of Defense and Secretary of Commerce?
You’re right about Sec Def. Obama nominated Robert Gates and said it was to fulfill a campaign promise he made to have a Republican in his cabinet. Seems fucking insane to choose that cabinet position out of all of them for it…
However I’m confused by who you’re referring to with the second part.
For Commerce, according to wiki, he nominated Bill Richardson (D) who had to withdraw.
He then nominated Judd Gregg, who was a Republican apparently. However, since he was the current Senator in New Hampshire, his appointment would have given Dems a Senate Super Majority.
Gregg eventually withdrew.
Eventually, Democrat Gary Locke was chosen and served.
Yeah not american, i dont always remember your unique names for things. The defense secretary was engaging in war so minister of war is fine for me (im from a parliamentary context).
Yes I meant Robert Gates which was an insane choice. And my bad i remembered them nominating a republican commerce secretary and that was enough for me to write off Obama (and rightfully so).
Seems fucking insane
until understanding they’re in the same club with the same interests.
This would be cooler if it had sources
Before anyone says “B-But wikipedia is no source!!” That’s true but wikipedia has sources itself which you may check and verify
This is the internet, not high school.
I don’t think you’ll find many people here who would argue with Wikipedia as a source.
Wrong article. Great information of cause. But wrong source.
Really puts the Yemen situation into high relief. We’ve been at war with them for over 20 years, but we keep pretending they attacked us out of the blue a few years ago.
The big attack on the US we were focused on in the Middle East for a bit was the attack on the USS Cole in October of 2000. We were ramping up for possible action in response to it over the next 11 months, but then 9/11 happened and everyone forgot Yemen existed again.
the attack on the USS Cole in October of 2000
By this guy?
I, for one, want to thank our glorious USA overlords, for not nuking any new countries this decade. And for not (again) financing terrorist in my country this decade (well, at least nothing got reported); nor black sites (this decade), and only manipulating our elections and financing far right parties. And making sure the “tech” giants keep exploiting us.
I am so lucky. /s
The most peaceful president everyone
