Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social

Reading people. Body language. Knowing how to connect with people totally unlike you and with different backgrounds and beliefs. Defusing tense situations. Gaining trust.

Aside from the naked imperialism here, and cash grab, he admits it’s a war. A war without UN or congressional approval. A war which Rubio denied was a war and claimed was a law enforcement action. Trump as ever undermines his own people’s claims. It was a war. An illegal imperial one.
