The United States: The Beacon of Hypocrisy
Throughout his political career, Joe Biden has lived for — while millions have died as a result of — U.S.-waged wars, proxy wars, coups, and all-around American interventionism.

The Affliction That Keeps On Inflicting — The American Superiority Complex

(And both parties partially, if not completely, created it). It is this culture that not only forbids Americans from speaking out against interventionism and warmongering, it practically mandates “celebrating the troops” at every opportunity.

Defending the Aggressor: The Chrystia Freeland Playbook
I've asked Freeland why she supports the regime in Macedonia. I've kept her and her policy advisors apprised of escalating human rights abuses against Macedonians throughout the Balkans.

Through daily, mass protests, the Macedonian people gave the regime a resounding NO to the EU-backed, French-sponsored Bulgarian demands to completely abandon Macedonians' identity, language, culture and history, yet it still pushed through passing of the "French Proposal" (as it is known), all for a chance at negotiating potential EU membership*.

MHRMI Condemns EU-Enabled Bulgarian Harassment of Macedonian Minority Activists
Following the European Union’s shocking support of Greece’s campaign to change the Republic of Macedonia’s name and eradicate Macedonians’ ethnic identity and history (a key point outlined in the “Prespa Agreement”), Bulgaria ramped up its own demands on Macedonians, also garnering EU support.
