    Part of the US’ PR strategy is to use a person of color when voting for genocide. Makes it seem like “see even minorities agree on this one”.

      I know there’s merit to bash the US, but do you have any evidence whatsoever to make such a bold claim that this is official “US PR Strategy”?

        It’s not like a whole US policy, just a common tactic.

        Colin Powell claiming Iraq WMDs is a good direct comparison, Rompaswampy claiming Trump is legitimate, Candace Owens existing… grifters gonna grift.

          Just because they’re black doesn’t mean iT’S A ConSpiRaCy. I mean, are you hearing yourself?

            What? Didn’t say conspiracy, just said it’s a common tactic of grifters. Have you seen the uncle ruckuses they trot out on American propaganda networks? This happens all the time.

              Jeez, minorities can’t even be stupid without people saying they’re part of a grand strategy.

              Sure I see it all the time among Republican grifters.

              Not so much evil Biden Administration and Dems lol.

        I didn’t say it was official, if anything I think it’s somewhat unofficial by its very nature, no?!
        It’s not like I have a classified document where this sorta thing would be mentioned 😀

        It’s just an observation, and it’s something I learned (didn’t come up with it myself), probably from a video essay on Youtube or something like that - tried to remember specifically from where but I couldn’t tell you. But it’s been a pattern, with Colin Powell being used for the war in Iraq for example.

        edit: I think /u/crusa187 offered a better reply with more examples

          So to be clear, you have zero evidence whatsoever that this is “US PR Strategy” except your own speculation?

              Ok, just to be really certain about this, did you just tell them to keep up?

                  In the context of the comment they were responding to, yes.

                  I often

                  try {

                  print( me->sarcasm);

                  } catch ( Exception e ) {

                  die();

                  }

                  The exception is called more often than i would like to admit to.

                    I know, I was going along with the “asking the obvious” joke lol. It was pretty easy to guess even without the /s, impossible not to for anyone familiar with that lol

        Everyone knows Nikki Haley was appointed to the UN because of her foreign policy experience as governor of South Carolina.

        It’s a common strategy and it’s not just US that does it. I would assert that it’s mostly conservatives that do it (so pretty much all US politicians)
