Fascinating. I hadn’t thought about Yunus in years and hadn’t been following Bangladesh at all.

Truth. Still, solidarity with Cuba. I hope to be there within the month.

That’s definitely a bonus for them

What what whaaaa??? I thought the US was a force for supreme goodness up until the millisecond that Trump became president.

This was most definitely the turning point. And just who were George Dubya, and Clinton, and Reagan, and Nixon, and goddamn Kissinger, and Robert McNamara, and the Dulles Brothers, and all the slave owners who founded the country?

A shining city upon a hill, manifest destiny, exceptionalism. Well-meaning promoters and protectors of democracy forever and always. Just what would the rest of the world do without you?

/s in case anyone actually needs it.

“oligarchy of former terrorists”

Perfectly stated.

This is the dream. They’ve shit all over Latin America for almost a century. Enough already.

Again I’ll say it….Trump is a symptom, not the disease.

I wish it weren’t so, but you’re hitting all sorts of nails on the heads. Long live Rojava. Down with jihadis, and so long as the so-called Syrian army is headed by a jihadist, down with them.

Might sound crazy, I know, but I’m having trouble trusting a jihadist after what’s happened to Kurds at their hands in the last decade.

I may come to trust him slightly if he allows free and fair presidential elections, which I strongly doubt he ever will.
