How can this story not be true? I heard about it on facebook from someone who says she heard about it from her neighbour, who heard about it from her daughter, who heard about it from a friend.
This stranger's neighbour's daughter's friend saw Haitians carving up her cat with her own eyes.
Do people honestly have no ability to spot a bullshit rumor? She didn't even claim she saw it with her own eyes, or that she knows someone who saw it with their own eyes. She literally says it was a friend of a friend of a friend.
Just to elaborate, my first thought was: “I dislike this anti-Communist Cold War-era hysteria. I’ll post something to try to counter this hysteria.”

Dude, just say you’re afraid of black people and leave the rest of us humans out of it.
the only hope the world has
You mean the only hope Israel has.
Hey, guess what? Accusing people of being shills doesn’t actually fix any of the Democrats’ problems.
Doesn’t that describe Vietnam?
Is your point that the US goes to war to fund the military industrial complex rather than to achieve victory? Because otherwise I’m not understanding your point.
I don’t think any of those conflicts (including Ukraine) went the way the US wanted them to.
