Every government commits crimes. The US has 900+ military bases around the world. We have active combat troops in 100+ countries. We have a military budget equal to the next 10 or 11 countries combined. We have meddled in something like 180 elections (that includes outright coups) since WWII alone. FFS of course our government commits a shitton of crimes.

Gallup used to do a worldwide survey of which country is most dangerous for world peace. The US always won, so they stopped doing the survey.

This is similar to pollsters stopped asking in 2013 (IIRC) if the war in Afghanistan was popular in the US because only 13% said yes.

This is all info I can say over and over again online because at most 100 people will read it. If 10s of thousands read what I wrote, I’d end up like the people I wrote about in my last column.

Apropos: Julian Assange is a publisher. Publishing classified information is NOT a crime. That is how the Post published the Pentagon Papers for one clear example.

You appear to have not even read my last comment, where I addressed exactly what you post in your last paragraph.
