This is about why I, a devout pacifiist, am promoting the rearming of Europe #RearmEU.
It's clear to me that, to maintain a state of peace, one needs to be protected against external forces of evil, with a capability of attacking.
It's no help to peace denying existence of those external forces.

See. Even those who still believe in (& make a living from) fantasy deities can see the horrors of what is happening in their actual realities.
How many times has the Catholic Bishops of the United States ever come together for support of human dignity? It makes you realize just how bad it really is right now.

This is the tragedy of the US: there is always money to finance coups and pointless wars, but when it comes to healthcare and social services, they come up with all kinds of excuses not to allocate funds for them.
Top officials present Trump with military options for Venezuela in the coming days
The potential operations for Venezuela presented to Trump included options for strikes on land, multiple sources said.

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Corruption is always rampant in authoritarian regimes. Do you think Republicans see it & just don't care?
Between Trump's cryptocurrency scam, his Binance cash for pardon & donor pay to play scheme & his ICE corruption, cruelty & brutality, is there any doubt that he intends to be a dictator?

People fleeing war and persecution are ready and able to contribute to our society.
The problem is... they're not allowed.
Rather than shipping them off to army barracks all over the country, it's time to let asylum seekers work.
