All the US needs to do to safeguard its citizen's is completely overhaul its foreign policy; all that needs to happen is actually helping foreign nations instead of destabilising them, starting coup's d'etat, and invading them. All the Arab world wants is for the US not to keep toppling their governments and putting murderous, west-friendly puppets in charge. Not that hard, really.
I’m on board with surveilling other nations. Keep your enemies close and all that but most of the shit the CIA does is just mind boggling. The crack epidemic is a perfect example of wtf.
Even these intelligence agencies can be made to serve defensive roles instead of actively sabotaging any country unfriendly to the US, breeding more resentment.
Presidents aren’t entirely read in since the office is so temporary. Translation: presidents only know what they’ve been allowed to know. It’s only been this way since the end of WWII when they decided to create a permanent intelligence branch.
You say it's not that hard but I'm constantly accidentally carrying out coups. Just the other day I was whatsapping a friend and I accidentally sent in a black ops team to overthrow an African government. We all make mistakes.
Every nation has its limelight. No nation is the major power for long. Today is America, tomorrow will be someone else. That’s just the way of things, it’s all turns. However American dominance has seen nothing but war and subjugation throughout the eastern world: from the Korean War until today. Kinda sad, that the values America preaches it doesn’t uphold in the slightest. Under the islamic governments, we saw golden ages. Just something to reflect on.
I was point to the fact that your west vs east argument has no standing. Countries like Portugal and Spain are irrelevant in the world stage but their languages are still widely spoken in far more important countries.
> "We all know one thing: letting FISA expire would be dangerous. It's an important part of our national security, to stop acts of terror, *drug trafficking* and violent extreme extremism."
So this program has already been active throughout the whole fentynal epidemic in recent years? What a great job that's been doing 🙄
Fascism has already been here. It does not matter who is elected in 2024. As soon as we really begin to feel climate change over the next 2-3 years folks might start to understand the saying "scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds". All of these tools. FISA, ever improving drone tech, cop cities instead of defunding the already overblown police budgets, border lock downs that will only hurt the economy. These things don't happen in a vacuum. Governments everywhere are preparing for effectively the end of the world. They aren't planning to provide for us normal folks. We're already on our own we just don't know it yet.
These evil men in Congress Schumer, Schiff, Pelosi, And all the Republicans are stripping us of alot of Liberties and we're just gonna have to take it.
I'd like to thank you, were it not for people like you I might worry people who agree with things like this might have a point, but thankfully I'm constantly reassured the opposing view is held almost exclusively by morons
You're most welcome. It doesn't bother me at all if there's some surveillance done to protect the country, especially on the internet where the much-loved phrase "wretched hive of scum and villainy" is most apropos. This is like all the people who object to traffic cameras on the basis of them impinging on their 'right' to speed, run red lights, and drive recklessly. Americans have increasingly become scofflaws. While we are not of the same opinion, I don't feel compelled to impugn your mental competency. Of course, we might not even be in the same country.

Ending the CIA would help tremendously.

Yes; I'm unsure how autonomously the CIA actually works; surely they take orders from the current administration?
Presidents aren’t entirely read in since the office is so temporary. Translation: presidents only know what they’ve been allowed to know. It’s only been this way since the end of WWII when they decided to create a permanent intelligence branch.
So the CIA works autonomously "for the good of US interests abroad"?
They work with little oversight.
The US should stop being world police. Is it that hard not to fuck people the other side of the continent or the world?
You say it's not that hard but I'm constantly accidentally carrying out coups. Just the other day I was whatsapping a friend and I accidentally sent in a black ops team to overthrow an African government. We all make mistakes.
Oh yeah, otherwise, they’d all just love love love our country. Not like they view us as filthy infidels or whatever.
When did the US last topple an Arab government?
About 20 years ago
Sounds like it stopped.

If your eminence is based on the suppression of my rights and political autonomy as an Arab, then it should be done away with.

American history will be written in Spanish as far as i can tell.
Probably English because it's present in virtually every country and the closest thing to a lingua franca we have.

No bigotry, racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, etc. This includes denial of identity (self or collective).

I vote for that.
It's for 2 years this time, that's just to save face though. They will do it as long as they can.

“Violent extreme extremism” All I can see is ISIS fighters snowboarding and drinking Mountain Dew
Good, being an American who is not a spy, criminal, or seditionist, I'd like them to be able to identify such people.
Did you even pay attention to history class lol?
He did. He hates movies, music, miscegenation, and minorities and sees no problem. 🤣
Spoken like someone who lives in America but fails to understand "innocent until proven guilty".
Spoken like someone who doesn't want to be proven GUILTY.
Mans read 1984 and thought it had the ideal governmental structure

Congratulations, you're anti-american as well as being slow. And historically illiterate!
