Yes, as we all know, the ongoing civil war in Afghanistan that Pakistan was deeply involved with was entirely peaceful before US intervention, Somalia and Syria (I note you use the anti-Assadist flag, lmao) likewise, we are definitely not present in Nigeria at request of the fucking Nigerian government, and our involvement post-2012 with Iraq was DEFINITELY not at request of the Iraqi government in dealing with fucking ISIS. Of course, I'm sure any number of people here would parrot critical support for ISIS under anti-imperialist grounds.

I also note that excluded in the graph is the assassination of Soleimani during Trump's first term, presumably counted instead as an Iraqi strike since it was on Iraqi soil, even though it was an attack on a high-ranking Iranian military officer. I guess that would make Trump's warmongering too apparent.

But that might contradict the "BOTHSIDES" narrative, so we can't have any of those inconvenient facts.

Also, a FUCKTON of countries are left out of both Republican presidents' laundry lists of bombed countries.

How curious and totally unexpected. /s

Go ahead. Tell me that supporting the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan was 'destabilizing' a country already in civil war. Tell me that strikes in Somalia were 'destabilizing' a country already in civil war. Tell me strikes in Syria were 'destabilizing' a country already in civil war. Hell, tell me post-2014 strikes in Yemen were 'destabilizing' a country in civil war. Tell me strikes in post-2012 Iraq were destabilizing a country struggling with an external invasion.

I would love to hear your justifications.

Whether you think they're justified or not - and I would hazard 'not' in most cases, personally - the idea that they were 'destabilization' of the world is fucking nonsense, and Very Serious Leftists like you are just loathe to admit that you're useful idiots for literal Nazis. But hey, if you useful idiots didn't support maximizing Zionist aims, who would?

Who says republicans and democrats can’t agree?

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 hour ago

Democrats and republicans differ only in that the democrats don’t openly attack minorities in their own country.

Americans suck. Change my mind.

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 2 points 59 minutes ago

Yeah we're trash, tho there's a growing minority that also wants to end it.

Could be wrong but I’m fairly certain it also applies to the previous century.

In the previous century japan and germany were strong contenders. This time around it's neck-in-neck with israel, and russia is a distant third.
