The US Empire Is Acting Like A Desperate, Cornered Animal, Because That’s What It Is
The US Empire Is Acting Like A Desperate, Cornered Animal, Because That’s What It Is I love Americans. I get friendly flak from some of my more jaded lefty readers whenever I say that, because having to deal with the flaws of one’s own countrymen is a very different experience than appreciating them from afar, but […]
