The label “terrorist” is meaningless in normal discourse, it is overused and it’s original definition has mostly evaporated.

The label “terrorist” is meaningful when the United States government uses it, because a terrorist is a person who can be killed without a trial, without oversight, and without accountability.

I would be a confident criminal too, if the most powerful army in the world pledged to invade as a response to any criminal charges against me.

I’m guessing this is a reference to unexploded ordnance in Cambodia, which has killed 20,000 and caused 45,000 amputations since the war ended in 1979.

That war ended 50 years ago, and there is still 700 square miles of land contaminated by unexploded bombs.

At least one child will lose their hand to a US bomb this month in Cambodia, you can bet on it. And next month too.

That really comes down to what you mean by “war” and “won”.

We won the Korean war by achieving our strategic objectives- we bombed NK back to the stone age, and effectively isolated them from the rest of the world.

Our wars in Central America achieved their objectives- US trained death squads raped and murdered the local populations into submission; US corporations have been free to dominate ever since.

On the list of 80+ countries we have invaded since WWII, I would say well over half of these misadventures have achieved their strategic objectives.

It’s also a testament to how bad the Biden administration failed at messaging.

Biden’s BBB and infrastructure spending was some of the best legislature of our lifetimes(yes BBB was watered down, corrupted, and did not meet the moment, but the bar is in hell).

Instead of doing full-court media blitz to advertise this victory to voters, they said almost nothing. Too afraid that Biden would reveal his dementia to the public, I guess. Fewest press conferences in modern presidential history, by far.

Nate Bronze keeps falling lower. He started as a serious data analyst, now he’s writing clickbait articles, desperate for attention.

I guess Harry Enten was the real star at FiveThirtyEight. Holy toledo.
