Trump 2024 anyone (edit: I'm not cheering him on, just stating a fact)?

Edit: I only read the headline then came back and read the article and just... What the actual fuck?

Did Biden, the president of the most power country in the world, just listen to a threat from their protectorate? What the fuck is going on here? How do people see shit like this and think "oh yes this is fine"?

Did you read what they threatened to do?

Yes, but the idea that he threatened at all in public is ridiculous. For better or worse if this was any other country that man would be in deep shit. See: Pakistan.

Dude, Pakistan had politicians openly saying they'd ethnic cleanse the country of Pathans and Pashto people.
