> If they end up with any influence at all, it'll be because we gave it to them. they have an organized military and police force, you don't. they have a system of false parties, which only represent them, you don't. they have the illusion of choice with a voting system rigged to give pre-determined outcomes, you don't. remind me, what influence have we 'gave' them? They are an illegitimate, illegal, and unlawful occupation. They're not even a government. They're a criminal conspiracy. We gave them nothing. They *took* it. They, the regime, continue to keep it by the sheer mercy of American *patience*. They are allowed to continue to exist simply because Americans refuse to show up--because mercy and patience endure.
