      Did she provide video evidence?

      Are you sure the video wasn’t AI?

      Come on just keep doubling down like you’ve been doing for his war crimes against brown children.

        I am not aware of any specific war crimes he participated in. I mistakenly gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed he had grown from the kind of uncritical person who joins the military, hence leaving it and running on anti-imperialist policy.

        But the rape was in 2023.

          This was him in 2020.

          The rape was in 2023. It’s 2026 now. Like who cares, the past is the past. He has grown past it right? He also said people need to respect women during his campaign and rape is bad. Why won’t you accept his personal growth?!

            It’s not unreasonable to see a guy who comes away from the military saying “Hey this is bad and we shouldn’t do it” and be easily led to believe the guy saw what he was a part of and understood it needs to be stopped. Every successful revolution includes former soldiers of the regime who’ve realized they were on the wrong side.

              He returned from his tour…

              And then did another tour

              And then did another tour

              And then did another tour

              And then joined Blackwater…

              He was in the military for eight (8) years! He went on three (3) tours to Iraq that included Ramadi, Fallujah and Abu Ghraib! When asked why he said “he wanted to play soldier” and “he wanted go on an adventure and kill some people”! He went on another tour in Afghanistan and then once more as a blackwater (constellis) merc! I have never seen him repentant or apologetic of what he did and support.

              that is not even the case. in most marxist leninist states former imperial/royalist army officials were either kept because of greater forces, purged, or entirely dismantled through the ongoing period of revolution/guerrilla warfare. im not going to say it never happened but it’s not like you shouldn’t treat former (to say the least) participants in war crimes against the proletariat with nothing but the ultimate suspicion.
