    western libs are smarter than global consensus, bear in mind. really, what it is, is they’ll say anything so long as the money keeps moving.

    the reality is of course that terrorism is any act that is intended to modify public behavior through widespread fear. here’s some examples of terror states:

    • America
    • Russa
    • Israel
    • India
    • Iran

    i’m POSITIVE there’s more, and i’d even be willing to hear arguments that every nation today is either a terror state or subservient to a terror state.

          But that’s internal, no not really fitting the theme…

            ???

            A terror state is a state that controls its citizens through the use of terror. A terrorist state is a state that then inflects that terror out into the rest of the world in an act of expansionist imperialism. So… Yeah. It’s internal. Because I was talking about internal use of terror to control a citzenry

              I am currently in India and I have absolutely no impression that people are controlled by terror. Those who oppose Modi seem to be very open about it.

              EDIT: maybe it applies more to opposition politicians?

                as in all authoritarian regimes it depends on how you look and where you are. keep your eyes up and your head high

      what did Iran, India and to strech it Russia do? Ukrne war was: 2014 us lead coup to overthrow govt that wanted to become neutral And then wanting to put nukacola next to russia border. Didnt the same stuff happened to … cuba during the cban misl crisis when us didnt allow for nuka near its own border. Same stuff

      Also lets include the old British & French empires ito it. They kied so many people they made entire continents. North America & Australia
