I'm sure imprisoning 30000 innocent people next to highly trained terrorists won't come back to haunt the US.

Newsflash about the current inmates of Guantanamo

And then the US said to Germany, "We too, can do Auschwitz."

[–] AFaithfulNihilist 14 points 10 hours ago

They think the problem with Auschwitz is that people could see it.

Can they even hold that many?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Theoretically? Well Manhattan has a population density of about 73,000 people per square mile so it's certainly possible to safely provide for 30,000 people in the space of Guantanamo Bay.

In practice? There's no way they'll be doing anything like that, and the cruelty is the point.

Oh taking a page from El salvador.

No, they can't. Guantanamo is a very harsh environment with very small capacity

Edit: well, I guess if the plan is to starve them and put them in unliveable conditions where disease is rampant and they begin to die in droves..yes it would make sense then.

Not in any safe manner. Safe for the assholes running the show that is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

I really hope This play out like a brother hood of nod campaign. Cause this is too familiar.

Colombia, which eventually backed down, slammed the US' treatment of migrants since Trump came to power.

Why do they continue to repeat this narrative? Colombia wanted the migrants to be deported under humanly conditions. The US did that, now Colombia will take them. The threats of sanctions has nothing to do with it but it makes Trump look strong.

Because weak people need to tell everyone how strong they are

[–] SuperEars 42 points 19 hours ago (5 children)

Doesn't seem like misreporting. I found other sources reporting it too.

I sent a text to those I love in any capacity, even former coworkers who've probably deleted my number. Not a group text - one by one. I think it'd be prudent for all US readers to consider doing the same.

Knowing some of you are like me, in that you might not know how to word such a text to someone not expecting it from you, I offer you my copy/pasted text:

America has a concentration camp now. I won't send you anything more...it's kind of rude that I'm sending this one. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/donald-trump-announces-plan-to-send-migrants-guantanamo-bay/

I would add something like, "But this is important and the people need to know about it." at the end. It highlights the gravity of the situation and subtly encourages recipients to do the same.
