But invading other countries, attempting to overthrow democratically elected governments, and literally a masked secret police force is just self government?

Far-left terrorrism:feeding the homeless, caring for the sick, not hating someone, and so forth.

He's going to be so shocked when he's getting loaded on his last plane ride ever to the Hague.

No one is going to the hague, there's an official policy that if any American is taken before the hague America will unambiguously invade the hague and retake our citizen.

It's a nice concept but it has no teeth when the biggest bully on the block refuses to participate outside of trying a token amount of less useful Nazis.

Outside America, there's an even bigger problem: traditionally many "western" governments work together with the USA to hunt terrorists.

This could lead to the US once again influencing local politics, even reaching out to fight against, say, German AntiFa.

I have no idea yet how this is going to develop, but in Germany Rubio defined power infrastructure sabotage as terrorism.

We do not like to use the T-word at all, but if, one should differentiate between victimizing people and attacking things.
