But its not just military. What about tech? Most governments are using American services. They whee told by Microsoft that their laws don't matter and they have to follow US law for data access. Nobody moved away. The states could destroy a western country by just not allowing access to big tech. And if they sanctioned a country, well kaous.

    No. I'm just curious about his knee-jerk response to something shiny. He's very conflicted. To be fair though, it seems to me most things everywhere nowadays are about trump's personality. Sorry, I just cannot bring myself to capitalize the trump proper noun.

    Yeah, I don't see establishment democrats doing much different when it comes to foreign policy.

    Any war Trump starts, they'll perpetuate and support. They MIGHT start less of them, but they'll continue any existing ones and start a few of their own with the right incentives.

    The big attack on the US we were focused on in the Middle East for a bit was the attack on the USS Cole in October of 2000. We were ramping up for possible action in response to it over the next 11 months, but then 9/11 happened and everyone forgot Yemen existed again.

    Did you even read your source? It does not claim any of that. And the rest is just your opinion, which is even less serious, given that even source info is wrong.

    I'll repeat: there's plenty of good reasons to criticize the US, no need to make shit up. Read the source for a few good ones.
