Doesn't seem funny, right?
Maybe not - I mean, not now that what goes around has come around:
U.S. does its share of interfering
But it WAS funny when Obamerica was doing it in other countries - using YOUR tax dollars to play their little pranks. They WERE just pranks, weren't they? I mean, not serious act-of-war election interference?
"Most recently President Barack Obama’s State Department sent $350,000 to an Israeli group, OneVoice, that was supposed to use the dough to support Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations, but instead used it t build a campaign to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in last year’s Israeli parliamentary elections. Obama, it turns out, is no fan of Netanyahu."
"OneVoice used the money to build a voter database, train activists and hire a political consulting firm – with ties to President Obama’s campaign – all of which set the stage for an anti-Netanyahu campaign."
"There have been countless other cases of manipulation and interference by the U.S. The attempt on Fidel Castro’s life with an exploding cigar and the 1961 Bay of Pigs fiasco, immediately come to mind."
"Foreign Policy magazine listed successful and confirmed coups with U.S. fingerprints all over them. Iran in 1953; Guatemala, 1954; the Congo, 1960; the Dominican Republic in 1961; South Vietnam, 1963; Brazil, 1964; and, Chile in 1973. Those are just the ones everybody agrees on."
Just kids at play, right? Perhaps a United Nations investigation into Obamerica's world-wide fucking around with elections might be just the comic relief we could all use just now!
