    lmao I found this deep in the comments at the end of a wall of text

    I dunno why but america has such extreme democratic input on shit that doesnt matter like the election of the local comptroller, and barely any actual democratic input on the shit that actually does matter.

    They’re using this as an opportunity to browbeat non-U.S.ians to start volunteering for Democratic campaigns. Unreal.

    u/reubencpiplupyay says:

    Purges of the bureaucracy are generally a bad thing, but in this case, when you have so many people who participated in this program, I feel like there is no choice. Going along with this instead of reporting it displays such a warped sense of morality that I think such people are fundamentally unfit to participate in society in any position but as a prisoner.

    “We didn’t do a good job sharing vaccines with partners,” a senior U.S. military officer directly involved in the campaign in Southeast Asia told Reuters. “So what was left to us was to throw shade on China’s.”

    Chinese propaganda: “We’re gonna convince you the US caused this virus”

    American propaganda: “We’re gonna convince you to kill yourselves”

    “We’re stooping lower than the Chinese and we should not be doing that,” said a former senior State Department official for the region who fought against the military operation.

    We’re worse than the Asians!

    Republicans operate like the Kremlin and Democrats are pro-democracy is the takeaway here.

    I know liberals lack object permanence but wow. The article they linked literally ends by saying the current administration rewarded half a billion dollars to the company responsible for the anti vax campaign to continue spreading fake news about anything and everything. How putler-esque of Biden

      Jesus I skimmed it and missed this bit. How disingenuous do these libs have to be to say this is only on Trump since Biden “ended it” when years later his administration is still working hand in hand with the same antivax propaganda peddlers?

    African leaders cited the west’s refusal to assist with vaccines without a plethora of strings attached as one of the reasons why they pivoted to China and Russia. Liberals will call the move “cynical and self serving,” but who gives a shit? Lives were saved with little to no cost. That’s all that matters to anyone who doesn’t make $150k writing papers about genocidal drones in DC

    What a shocking revelation. And of course, as we all recall, Biden stepped into a completely smooth transition of power with no clusterfuck of dysfunction whatsoever, so we should make sure he sounds just as bad and responsible. extreme /s

    I’ll /slit your god damn throat. This is a fucking president of “the most powerful country in the world,” and you can’t control your own institutions after 4 years? How can Trump command the entire military to do a disinformation campaign and yet Biden is too weak to stop it? Why should I vote for a fucker whose soldiers and workers won’t even listen to him (if we’re to believe Wittle Bidey is too smol and weak)?

    I love that all these losers act like this is the first time the US has trafficked anti vax. The US has down so much shit to undermine trust in science and medicine. From MKULTRA, Tuskegee, fake vaccines to collect DNA to find bin Laden, CIA fronts disguised as humanitarian organizations, capitalist pillaging of workers’ earnings for subpar treatment (if any, at all) with the government’s protection, food being filled with lead and cancerous chemicals, baby formula full of lead and cancerous chemicals, baby equipment with lethally defective quality control, pushing everyone back to work during a pandemic, trafficking drugs on behalf of the cartels, refusing to donate vaccines or making them patent free, downplaying climate change and funding the stupidest “solutions”. These freaks think DRUMPF caused this and that it’s a one time occurrence, when in reality it’s another chapter in the long list of capitalism perpetuating anti science.

      The entire time Trump was Trumping around being a racist dipshit showboat they said “at least the institutions will curtail him” while those institutions just continued being awful but with an added layer of orange paint. Libs are so historically illiterate to as be malicious.

    From a comment there:

    We are quite lucky that China is so bad at being friendly to its neighbors because we keep shooting ourselves in the foot. No wonder third-world countries see a moral equivalence between our countries: there actually is one.

    I’m reeling, these fucking ghouls are so goddamn racist, jesus fucking christ. Saying that under THIS article is fucking unhinged. I know that subreddit is ran by literal feds, but fuck.

        People’s ideas about the repsonsibility of leaders and official’s is really weird. everything your subordinates do is your repsonsibility and every one of their fuck ups is your responsibility that you need to address and make right. You can’t just say “oh well so and so fucked up it wasn’t me”. You signed up to be " it’s always me and I will always take action to accept, investigate, and acknowledge these failures and when it’s time to face the firing line I will accept responsibility for the actions of my subordinates".

    Well well well, once again the chud normies prove to be the “sheeple” yet again.

    Did they not realize this when their ideas were shared by 99% of the population?
