"The US intentionally denied Russia its own Monroe Doctrine. Did you ever wonder why only the US has a “Monroe Doctrine” and if any other large country like Russia wants their own safe zone like the Monroe Doctrine offers, US media says they are crazy and unrealistic? The US demands North, South and Central America all to itself, no Russian or Chinese military forces, but if Russia wants the same buffer around itself, it must be only deeply delusional or paranoid? After the US led Ukraine Coup of 2014, Ukraine clearly became hostile to Russia (with “four high-ranking members who be legitimately labeled neofascists”).
"Imagine if Russia financed a successful Coup in Mexico which became openly hostile to the US – imagine Russia using “rocket installations in Mexico to conduct live-fire training exercises to practice destroying military targets inside America?” Would the US have any legitimate reason to feel provoked? Of course, the US would demand those installations be removed. Simple. No country can install missiles on our hemisphere, but we can put them wherever we want? This is high-school bully justice, or American foreign policy style. As Putin said in 2021, “Are we putting our rockets on the borders of the United states? No, we’re not. It’s the US with its rockets coming to our doorstep.”

By 2010, Greek debt had spiraled to 130% of GDP and climbing. No one was willing to lend them money anymore... forcing the IMF to swoop in with a "rescue" package that came with brutal strings attached.
Pensions were slashed by 40%. Public sector wages were frozen, then cut. Over 150,000 government workers were laid off. State assets—airports, ports, utilities—were sold off at fire-sale prices to foreign investors.
Greece's economy contracted by 25%. Youth unemployment hit 60%. An entire generation was hollowed out.
Argentina has been through the IMF wringer multiple times; in fact in in 2018, Argentina received the largest bailout in IMF history: $57 billion....
Martyn Lloyd-Jones declared, “Whenever you put happiness before righteousness, you will be doomed to misery. That is the great message of the Bible from beginning to end. They alone are truly happy who are seeking to be righteous.”
Attention antifa and transtifa and insurrectionists who hate ICE:
Nearly every state has specific statutes that criminalize willfully interrupting or disturbing a religious assembly or worship service. These laws protect the right of people to gather and practice their religion without intentional interference.
