Cyborg butthole

Just bring back irc

I quit. It was simple. The fediverse is a great replacement.

I’m not rephrasing shit because you’re incapable of reading.

Hey internet… the shitty bot account doesn’t know how to look info up on Carter and East Timor. Can you please do it for it?

Jimmy Carter’s administration faced significant criticism for its handling of the East Timor situation during Indonesia’s occupation. Despite Carter’s reputation as a champion of human rights, his presidency saw a continuation and even expansion of military support to Indonesia while it committed atrocities in East Timor[1][2].

In 1977-1978, as Indonesia engaged in wholesale destruction of East Timor through massive bombardment and forced relocation of populations, the Carter Administration increased the flow of military equipment to Indonesia[1]. This included supplying OV-10 Broncos, planes designed for counterinsurgency operations, which were used in ferocious attacks that devastated East Timor[1][2].

The administration’s response to the crisis was particularly troubling:

1. U.S. officials, including Assistant Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke, misled Congress about the situation in East Timor, downplaying the severity of the conflict[2].

2. When the CIA reported that Indonesia was running out of weapons due to the intensity of its bombardment, the Carter administration responded by increasing military sales to Indonesia in 1978[2].

3. The administration provided ground attack fighters like OV-10 Broncos, A-4s, and F-5s, knowing they would be used against East Timor’s civilian population[2].

Carter later expressed regret for his lack of intervention, admitting in a 2007 interview that he was not as thoroughly briefed about the situation in East Timor as he should have been[2]. However, this does not negate the fact that his administration’s policies contributed to the deaths of tens of thousands of East Timorese during his years in office[1][3].

You know it doesn’t take much to use the internet to be educated, right? It practically does the work for you now…

Greg Stoker was just making fun of Chuck Schumer yelling “We will win” on the steps of (I think the treasury?) before dipping permanently.

It’s sad how lacking of recent historical context people have. They always point to Carter and it’s like… frustrating.

Obama bombed a wedding of civilians not to mention hid Afghanistan casualty reports, was a part of the death of half a million Iraqi casualties, was part of the Syrian hell that targeted mainly children with fatalities at 191,000 by 2014, then there was Yemen and saber rattling on Iran and full support of Israel. Carter sadly oversaw the East Timor genocide at 25% of the population or 170,000 killed.

He oversaw East Timor

Fuck every single theocracy ever

Imagine if they opened their own mastodon instance

Right, and the UAE are a main funder for the genocide. I hate all of this.

When you attack a holocaust survivor it’s clear you don’t give a fuck about optics

I’m going to take a wild guess that it was the RSF doing this disgusting shit. They idolize the IDF and use their weapons and I’ve heard multiple Sudanese say on TT that Rwanda is basically the Israel of Africa.

Maybe the Chinese can teach SA how to not be so … thuggishly theocratic

I wish we could return the US based Cubans back to Cuba and let them deal with them, accordingly. All the fashy capitalists left Cuba after their revolution and came to the US. Florida, specifically. Would be great if we (USA) would stop taking in the right wing garbage from countries that are trying to operate outside of capitalism. Too late now… sigh.

Anyone who openly works with Israel is an enemy to humanity.

Do you like it in the butt?
