This is what I think about "Standing with Israel," "Standing with Ukraine," "Standing with Taiwan," and any other fucking war. NOT OUR JOB. If you keep allowing yourself to be propagandized, pretty soon we'll be in #WWIII , scrambling for shelter from the nukes headed our way. ☢️

The United States of America operates over 750 military bases around the globe, and yet it can't afford to fix anything at home. Let's just close all those military bases, make peace with Putin and Xi, and skip World War III 🏳️‍⚧️☮️💗

RFK was the leading presidential candidate right before the CIA murdered him in 1968, and his brother JFK five years before that. We owe his son @RobertKennedyJr a fair shake at the presidency. This is *our* country, not the CIA's. #RFKJr2024
