    Is this real or some kind of joke? I’m just now learning about all of this and am almost traumatized honestly.

      “Radio Free X” news outlets are generally all US State Department propaganda designed to discredit and de-legitimize their geopolitical adversaries, famously the USSR and PRC, but also Cuba, etc. It’s all very real.

        Do other countries not condemn us ultimately for this stuff? Like Russia invaded another nation and the whole world ‘sanctioned’ them economically, why has no one sanctioned US for these mass injustices?

          The US has hundreds more millitary bases around the world than any other country. It dominates the world financially via Imperialism, it intentionally underdevelops countries in the global south in order to have them reliant on US food exports so the US gets cheap imports.

          Some countries do call out the US Empire for what it is. Palestine, the former USSR, the PRC, Cuba, DPRK, South Africa, Iran, the Russian Federation, all countries the US Empire thoroughly demonizes and propagandizes against as much as it can.

          The good news is that the Empire is crumbling, so hopefully we can overthrow it and replace it with a Socialist system.
