The United Tornado of America's Latest Victim - Macedonia
When it comes to US foreign policy, there is no left and right. It's a circle. A vicious, never-ending one, that wreaks havoc wherever it goes. A US foreign interventionist tornado, if you will.
Democrats and Republicans seem to be at odds over everything, except two crucial things that unite them. One, the American superiority complex. Two, inflicting it on the rest of the world.
Most of the world is united against Trump, for good reason. Racism, sexism, sheer stupidity.... Pick one, or any of the dozens of other reasons. But Democrats, you suffer from one of Trump's worst qualities - lack of self-awareness. You might not have his comical idiocy (you'll get closer if Joe Biden becomes President) but you're remarkably similar in many other ways.

You Wouldn't Give Away Your Ethnic Identity. So Why Should Macedonians?
No politician, diplomat, bureaucrat or journalist I've ever asked this question has answered it. Yet they're quick to tell me to give away my ethnic identity. They try to convince me that the forced renaming of Macedonia, the redefining of what it has ever meant to be Macedonian, and the literal rewriting of Macedonian history is a “good thing because it resolves a diplomatic dispute”. What they're really telling me is that my ethnic group is lesser than theirs.
What if your name and ethnicity were forcibly changed? Welcome to Macedonia's world.
To non-Macedonians: Put yourselves in our shoes. What if your name and ethnicity were forcibly changed? Our Macedonian name, identity and history are being eradicated by the West in order to satisfy their misguided foreign policies and appease our oppressors. WE ARE ALL EQUAL. Prove that you believe that by demanding the return of Macedonia's name.
