Ever wonder why studying the Holocaust is DEI and therefore racist?

He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.

As I've often said, it is a strange fascism that dismantles the instruments of its own dominance. We'll see how state-building goes in post-invasion Cuba.

And before you say "B-b-b-but Ecuador invited us in!": just last year, a proposal to open U.S. military bases was crushed in a popular referendum. Also: the Ecuador's constitution explicitly forbids foreign military presence within its borders.
