King Leopold of Belgium? Well he sounds like a jolly, friendly old fellow!

and when Mexico tried to stop the flow of arms, the courts stepped into keep it going.

The exact plan is to make everyone too tired to understand they're being played against each other.

The average American lives nearly identical lives and has nearly identical axioms, wants and feelings as the average Mexican, the average South American, the average Canadian, etc. The only real differences are superficial and aesthetic, and if we all woke up with amnesia tomorrow, and the borders were erased from maps, we would probably all just intermix and form a whole new world as we discover each other's foods, customs, ideas and desires without being afraid of "losing our cultures" or any of the manufactured fears the powers have instilled in us about the "other."

You do know that US intelligence agencies and military have been heavily involved in organizing the global drug trade, including smuggling drugs like Heroin and Cocaine into the US?

It has always been a tool of power. This is why Reagans wife told kids to "just say no to drugs" in a concerned voice, while her Husband organized tonnes and tonnes of Cocaine to be smuggled into the US to finance a fascist terrorist organization overthrowing democratically elected governments and killing tens of thousands of civilians. Oh and he used part of the profits to sell weapons into a war zone against US legislation and explicit decision of congress, so more brown people are being murdered.

Further fun fact, Mexican Cartels ended up with military assault rifles from the German manufacturer Heckler&Koch, circumventing export bans. So it is not just the US that likes to join in on it.

the USA is a corporation with a military

I'm glad this got linked. It's definitely the gun version of "you're not fighting the predator by buying more cats... you're just feeding it cats."

lol git gud Falkland Islands

But, seriously, that's not great.

Seriously though, what the fuck is the civilian excuse for guns on the Falklands? The only native natural predator that could hurt the sheep is long extinct. I guess they're afraid the sheep will have a revolution.

Do the Falklands count as a country? I'm not sure what the situation is there.

Also, New Zealand is pretty high up on the list.
