Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is horrific. Shame of the country.

What Nazi Germany classed as "untermenschen:"

  • People of Jewish descent
  • People of Slavic descent
  • People of African descent
  • People of Romani descent
  • Homosexuals
  • The mentally disabled
  • The physically disabled
  • Political dissidents
  • POWs

Qualifying people were dehumanized, arrested and initially deported, but eventually taken to camps and either systematically exterminated or put into slavery.

It's not enough to say that there are parallels, America is playing exactly by the Nazi guide book.

Also worth noting they basically learned all that from Andrew Jackson the first time around

I know we're largely focused on stopping Trump, and we need to.

But how do we save these guys?

The courts might be able to stop future renditions, but the president or Congress have the power to end this or return them. Congress could cut off the funding (bribes) to El Salvador or president could force them to release people.

Get NATO Countries (excluding the US, obviously) to send the military to liberate El Salvador.

Edit: Reworded for clarification

Monroe doctrine saber rattling against Europe intensifies

That is not how NATO works or what it is

Not saying we shouldn't try to free political undesirable prisoners, just saying that that is not what NATO is for, won't happen

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Obviously, this is not about the article 4/5 invocations. I'm talking about in a joint operation, unrelated to the NATO treaty, that are done by European Countries.

Are there Non-Nato countries with a military capable and willing to do that?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes. But it would be a violation of international law, so they should not be willing.

If the matter somehow transforms to obtaining the assistance of El Salvador in this case, a credible proposal of EU economic sanctions would hasten a compromise.

To be honest, I'm not fully understanding why El Salvador accepted those people from the US.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I believe they were paid for it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Most countries would be able to take El Salvador on in a head-on-head fight.

Now, which ones can do so, if the US is backing the dictatorship there? That's a big question.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For clarification, I said NATO Countries excluding the US

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Ok that makes way more sense

This is the only standard by which the Trump administration operates.
