Madeleine Albright has passed away

Post Reply New Topic

Madeleine Albright, the first female U.S. Secretary of State, has passed away at 84. No tears from me, she once stated that 500,000 dead Iraqi children was worth the cost of taking out Saddam Hussein.

I guess it's true: Only the good die young.
Still doesn't mean I'm going to live past 50, though.

It’s hard not to admire Madeleine Albright. She was an exceptionally accomplished individual who dedicated her life to making the world a better place, and achieved a great deal, particularly in former Yugoslavia.

There is legitimate criticism to be made of her failure to push for an intervention in Rwanda until it was too late. In her retirement, like many of us she was complacent about the threat posed by Russia. Of course nobody is ever perfect.

The line about Iraqi children is of course her response to Iraqi propaganda. Today nobody believes anything like 500,000 children were killed by the sanctions against the regime.

Hell is made up by evil people. If Heaven existed, Albright would be there.

It's hard not to despise war mongering pieces of s**t like Albright, the Clintons, the Bushes, Obama, Biden and anyone who has served the MIC with such vigor. The damage they have done to their country and the death and suffering they've inflicted on so many people is immeasurable.

I can't stand listening to the lionizing of her in pur MSM, now. But what else can you expect from them?

Military Industrial Complex is what I should have typed.

Military industry has the same problem as pharmaceutic industry - one may have good reasons to hate them but sometimes their products are really necessary.
If it wasn't for NATO presence (with all the weapons), the Ukraine war would have already been here. Russians don't even hide that they'd love to invade Poland next.

The trouble is the U.S. has a permanent war economy because it's profitable. We are replicating the model of most late-stage empires. Along being overstretched military, we have a government run by s small group of billionaires. We are already in a state of collapse.

If the U.S. dollar is dropped as the world currency, we are going to see an economic depression in the U.S. equal or worse than the one that occurred in the 1930s.

Could you give an example of…

- a war started by Albright or an administration she served in?
- damage done to the US by Albright?

To be honest it’s a bit strange to see someone whose biggest mistake is generally regarded to be her slowness to react to the Rwandan genocide as a “war-monger”.
