A lot of people and countries have soured on America and it’s imperialist project thanks to trump. And America has less support than ever for its illegal wars these days. So yeah it worked.

  Things seem to be bad for them regardless of whether Pepsi or Coke run USA.

    Well, things aren’t always as they seem. Trump may seem like a populist who “tells it like it is” and wants peace for Palestine, but he’s not!

    The Trump administration has denied Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas permission to enter the US, where he was set to attend the upcoming annual UN General Assembly in New York City.

    In accordance with U.S. law, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is denying and revoking visas from members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA) ahead of the upcoming United Nations General Assembly. The Trump Administration has been clear: it is in our national security interests to hold the PLO and PA accountable for not complying with their commitments, and for undermining the prospects for peace.
    
    Before the PLO and PA can be considered partners for peace, they must consistently repudiate terrorism — including the October 7 massacre — and end incitement to terrorism in education, as required by U.S. law and as promised by the PLO. The PA must also end its attempts to bypass negotiations through international lawfare campaigns, including appeals to the ICC and ICJ, and efforts to secure the unilateral recognition of a conjectural Palestinian state. Both steps materially contributed to Hamas’s refusal to release its hostages, and to the breakdown of the Gaza ceasefire talks.
    
    Translation: The Trump admin wants Palestine to stop suing Israel for genocide at the ICC, or they won’t let diplomats come to the UN meetings. These people hate Palestinians and are sabotaging peace talks.
    
    You need to care more about Palestinian lives.

    It’s not like the Pepsi party will suddenly fund Palestine’s case in the ICC or work towards an independent Palestinian state either, will it? There have been numerous Pepsi governments since 1948, and things have progressively gotten worse for Palestinians.
    
    The slightly less evil appearance of the progressive neoliberals only obfiscates the overall evil of the ideology. And because Trump does no such thing, we get to witness neoliberalism as it is, and that is refreshing and gives us more clarity on what is right and wrong.
