I have mixed feelings here. I'm not happy with us attacking a lot of places, BUT....... not ALL of it has been for totally "oil" reasons. But at the same time, for a long time I've argued that if we go in to "help" some places, it's funny how we don't genereally "help" places in, for example, Africa when you have people killing each other - THOSe people are FINE killing each other.

Or, I suppose, supporting Israel over Palestine and standing by as thousands and thousands are murdered.

I'm just saying, I guess, that not all of the shit the US has done has been for the wrong reason, but a lot of it has. But at the same time, we've done some things that others wanted to get done, but we went in and did it.

I'm..... look........ this sounds like I'm trying to defend the US, and I guess I am a little, but not very much, okay?

    Yeah, alright, I didn't articulate very well perhaps because I'm already verbose and people bitch at me "toooo loongggg didn't reeeadddd lolololol".

    We intervened in the Baltics edit: Balkans, d'oh/haha, but not in various places like Rwanda. That's more of what I was trying to get at.

    We "freed" Kuwait, but ignore many places under similar circumstances.

    When the USA helps someone militarily, it is:

    • a deal with the devil for the receiving faction
    • and never pans out the way it should

    What about just keeping your fucking hands off other countries? If the US really wanted to help, they would do 3 things:

    • abolish veto rights in the UN security council
    • acknowledge the ICC
    • give the UN troops for peace missions where needed

    Edit: this doesn't even touch the issue of your corrupt piece of shit president using the USA as a vehicle to make "deals" that only enrich himself - in other words extortion.
