Quickly skimming and finding that the US is faultless is the definition of being a mark.
Regarding VZ, I didn’t mean the 2020 attempt with a few guerillas, I meant mainly the ~2019 attempt that actually caused a national crisis, the one connected to Guaido guaido that was based on lies from the NED and friends.
I disagree with drone strikes that killed civilians.
Most of them do when you don’t consider every boy over 14 a potential terrorist. Anyway:
However, letting terrorists like ISIS run around in Syria and Iraq and now Africa more recently, is a bad idea when they make it their business to butcher civilians for not being extreme as them.
Syria was opposing terrorists. This shit only makes sense if you think every Muslim with a gun (or within a block of a Muslim with a gun) is a terrorist.
Apologetics for OIF are just disgusting.
What is the possible standard for saying that the US is making excuses rather than believing whatever flimsy pretext they throw out? Because if you support OIF, it seems like you’ll believe anything they say.
The political reality is that we did bring democracy to those countries
You are smoking crack. Libya lies in ruins with open-air slave markets and Syria remains somewhat together despite US attacks on Assad.
I think what we’ve learned from Afghanistan and Iraq is that democracy cannot be forced. People have to want to live, die, and fight for it. And in the case of Iraq, democratic intuitions have to be maintained, or else the country will backslide to authoritarianism.
What is this shit? What possible basis do you have for claiming the US has any interest in democracy when you understand that “democratic” interventions to “liberate” countries in the 20th century were imperialist warmongering? Sometimes it’s even the same country being invaded or otherwise sabotaged both then and now!
It’s pure fucking doublethink. It’s not like the US has come out and said “hey, toppling Allende was bad, we’re prosecuting the people responsible”.
