      North Korea shit

      We’ve been planning and demonstrating launch capabilities since we’ve had them.

      We’ve always been one of those countries and we’ve been living in a Pleasantville propaganda bubble OUR ENTIRE LIVES.

        I really hope you guys receive the wake-up call and get your shit together. I really liked the pre-Trump USA, but now it’s down to one star.

          You liked the illusion of the USA, but before the World Wars we were a brutal and racist country committing horrible acts of genocide and slavery within our own borders and abroad.

          We decided to end slavery, but not entirely - you’re still a slave if you get convicted of a crime. We decided to acquire other countries and exploit their resources without compensation, but we realized that if we did that like Germany tried, we’d look bad. So, we send secret agents to affect change and install puppet governments who give us what we want.

          The United States has always been a brutal nation of desperate min maxing capitalism and the wake of destruction we have left behind will forever scar the history of our species and, perhaps, might already be the end.

          We cannot forgive ourselves simply because life was comfortable within the empire for those who played by the rules.
