No bro this US war in the middle east will be completely different, bro. See, this time the regime we’re trying to get rid of is REALLY BAD!

No no, this is nothing like all those other times. This time military interventionism to topple an oil-rich government in west Asia will lead to peace and democracy. Our soldiers will be greeted as liberators!

You don’t understand, bro. This time the government and the media are telling us the truth! This time the regime really IS committing mass atrocities and they really ARE trying to build weapons of mass destruction.

I know you think this will be a disaster like all those other US military interventions in the region, but you see, unlike all those other times, this time there are many foreign policy analysts from highly respected think tanks and mass media outlets assuring us that it will go perfectly fine.

the us has murdered at least 150 people in small boats in the caribbean since september(in addition to MANY other atrocities in that same timeframe). thats quite a poor record for a country that wants to play world police.

Let's not forget the millions of death the USA is responsible for in Gaza, Sudan, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Cuba either with supporting proxies , direct illegal wars and sanctions

The usa and israel are a hundred times worse. Was Saddam regime good?

[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca -3 points 4 days ago

A hundred times worse, eh. Le sigh. The US is definitely not doing well right now. But it still mostly has functioning institutions and largely has women's rights...

[-] mrdown@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Of course you only cares about Americans not all the millions of victims from the USA and Israel terrorism

Attacking them will cement them in power as they rally around the flag, the point is moot.
