US seizes Cuba-bound fuel as Southern Command resumes murdering boat crews in the Caribbean

But that's exactly what democracy is supposed to prevent. Democracy is all about respecting each other, and making a better society for all. But in USA that is failing completely, and has instead lead to an intolerant hateful society, where a living wage and healthcare are not for all but privileges. Only USA has not figured these things out among democracies with a developed economy.
I hope that there is a global Revolution after Trump's term ends if he, his family and co-conspirators are not all dealt with properly.
No.
It's already happened.
The trade agreements that were negotiated after the tariffs, and intended to route trade around the US rather than through it, take up to two years to take effect.
The Big Beautiful Bill's good provisions were timed to expire after the mid-terms, but expire they will. The pro-billionaire stuff in it will be permanent. This is going to make affordability even worse, which will likely strengthen socialist candidates in the coming years.
Iran has irrevocably shattered US hegemony by destroying our bases in the Middle East and making the military afraid to rebuild. The US is even, evidently, afraid to park planes in allied European countries now.
The revolution's already happened. People just haven't seen the full effects of it yet, but they will.
Trump admin are a vile bunch of idiots.
Murder is the right word, and it's important to remember, this has been a thing far longer than Donald. Donald just isn't hiding it or trying to PR it.
People in Gaza have been murdered with US WMD's for decades. Obama murdered people with drones. Genocide Joe earned his nickname doing everything Bibi asked. Bush tortured and murdered people in Cuba, Iraq, and elsewhere. Clinton's "peacekeeping missions" killed many innocent people. Reagan's many international scandals exposed the extent to which his admin was murdering civilians and shuffling WMD's to genocidal regimes.
And historically, most of it has been supported by a majority of Americans, who can't think their way out of a wet paper bag or simply do not care until a war affects them personally.
The anti-war sentiment is only recent, and specifically with Iran and the new extremes Israel has taken in their campaign of terror against Gaza. Some of you may not be aware, but part of what got Donald elected was that he was vocally anti-war and promised no more forever wars, and it was actually feasible because he had pulled the US military out of Syria and negotiated the withdrawal from Afghanistan to end the War on Terror.
Then the Epstein Files dropped and he needed a distraction. Bibi was happy to supply it.
USA: Hey ChatGPT, what are the odds this fast boat is a drug boat?
GPT: There are lots of fast boats in the Caribbean, at any given time only a few are going to be smuggling drugs.
USA: so it can definitely be smuggling drugs then?
GPT: Yes it definitely can be.
USA: triple strike it!
GPT: Ive sent three missiles at it. I also sent 2 missiles to the cruise ships within 1km because they're likely support vessels and also have drugs on them.
The US started on the world stage fighting Barbary pirates, now en route off the stage becoming Pirates of the Caribbean
Hm. US is a pirate. So many parallels.
So who's gonna stop those pirates?

Rules:
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
