Ending American "Imperialism"

Submitted by David Ryan (United States), Aug 20, 2021 at 10:45

A goal of the Biden-Harris-Ilhan Omar administration, whatever degree to which Joe Biden is aware of it, is clearly to end American "imperialism" (civilized order in most of the world due to American presence since 1945) and retreat to being an inert European-style welfare state.

Another goal is to empty the prisoner of war camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba ("Gitmo") which Obama failed to do, although Obama did succeed in releasing a current Taliban leader in return for a traitor. When the Taliban gets itself organized enough to shut down the airport at Kabul and explicitly take thousands of American hostages it is already preventing from getting to the airport, the Taliban will be able to "force" Biden to do what he wants to do anyway and release all the prisoners at Gitmo and every other terrorist we hold, including the 1993 WTC bomber, the shoe bomber, the Bojinka plotter etc. (I won't dignify their names.)

This isn't nearly as bad as it can and probably will get. There is only one word for it: Treason.

U.S. Constitution Article III section 3.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

How about 7 billion witnesses?
