#3 Gee I didn't even know that Afghanistan was in Central America and that it had huge oil and gas resources.
I learn something new every day.

#4 Afghanistan that we illegally invaded in the first place in order to better steal all the oil and gas in Central America

Can someone explain ? I'm at my wits' end.

#9 Well, the deep state certainly has no intention of leaving Afghanistan. They already spent a trillion dollars of our money and will happily spend a trillion more. Their interests do not overlap with our interests. Who cares how many soldiers die or are horribly hurt? They aren't holding rifles, our servicemen are the deplorables.

#10 He has served as counsel for Bosnia and Herzegovina and has been a staunch supporter of the rights of indigenous peoples and Palestinians.

So an anti-democratic, anti-western shrill.

Got it.

#11 #7 Yes, but even the fact that he's a Harvard grad doesn't conclusively prove he's an idiot.

#12 Sputnik News / govt of the RF are using this clown to poke a stick at Uncke Sam, nothing more. No different from Voice of America poking a stick at the Soviet Bear back in the day.

#13 Graduate of Harvard/U of Chicago, and Harvard Law. Our Best and Brightest™

A graduate of what Nassim Taleb (Black Swan, Antifragile guy) sneeringly refers to as the "Soviet-Harvard complex".
