War on Democracy by Australia's John Pilgar. A documentary.

Shows the true corruption of pre-Trump American Politics and Media.

...of how the CIA implanted DICTATORSHIPS in South American countries to keep them weak under the National Security excuse. From Venezuela to Pinochet in Chile. All funded and supported by America under the table while the Media put on a show of condemning them over the table.

Sometimes the people rose up against their Dictators, even though American Media corrupted footage of showing them to be Terrorists, etc.

Venezuelans once rose up against one such Dictator for America. The soldiers, unable to shoot 400,000 people. Turned on their President and he fled by chopper to America.

This time. Trump helps the cause directly and efficiently.
He don't like CIA dictators.

Speaking during a news conference on Saturday, Trump said the US would “run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition”. During Saturday’s news conference, Trump said that “very large United States oil companies” would move into Venezuela to “fix the badly broken… oil infrastructure and start making money for the country”.
He added that his administration’s actions “will make the people of Venezuela rich, independent and safe”.

This will follow the great win in Vietnam and victory in Afghanistan, both being a triumph for Trump. Emperor Hirohito has bowed in respect to Sir DJ Trump and will make Australia prosperous in The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Trump may sell Colombia to him.

It doesn't change anything when it comes to Vladimir Putin.

Vladimir Putin is someone who has authorised the use of chemical weapons to kill political opponents inside other nations. How is that respecting sovereignty?

Putin respects the glory of Russian Ukraine and East Germany. He doesn't do South America but is working on faster nukes so maybe one day.

Trump is genius.
He's seen what a great job Britain has done with Australia
...despite the Left trying to sabotage us here.

Worthy words from Trump, but will he achieve it?

In the US, polls show many people who elected Trump in 2024 won't do so in the midterms, because the cost-of-living remains a burden for many, despite Trump's promises.

So Trump is more concerned about doing the right thing instead of mid term voting, so undemocratic of him.

I was going to suggest you ring the manager but with so many lefties ringing the manager at the moment you would be on hold for a while.
