Getting the US out of Syria was a good thing. I get that Trump did it for the wrong reasons, but personally, I'm tired of watching the US police other countries while our citizens are unable to improve their standard of living, and I wish both of our ruling parties weren't proxies for the war profiteering industry.
Not just the wrong reasons, but executed poorly and at a really bad time.
What we did to the Kurds after they fought tooth and nail with us against ISIS is shameful.
The US isn't even "out" of Syria chief.
Oh, cool, how has our standard of living increased since then?
It hasn't, you say?
And thus a bunch of Kurds have died and had declining resources for no benefit to the US?
Hmm.
No excuse is too small for the chickenhawks here in the US. You support any war as long as you don't have to go fight it yourself.
You keep simping for 'fiscal conservatism' and 'balancing the budget' so the rich can get another 1% off the corporate tax rate, buddy.
Factually incorrect. Read what I actually wrote before replying, please.
This you?
Well, this would seem to imply otherwise, and it only took me about 2 minutes to find. So... it kinda seems like you are railing against the best system, which is only supporting wars of defense. You realise that makes you super shitty, right?
Are you familiar with a country called Israel, by chance?
Or that time when Donald Rumsfeld shook hands with Saddam Hussein? How about that time that Hamid Karzai got the Zelensky treatment, and now, 20 years later, we know much of the money we sent was spent on warlords and his own corrupt government? How about when we supported Iraq for ten years, and then they literally threw down their weapons and welcomed ISIS?
The chickenhawk crowd always makes claims that they're supporting wars of defense. Always.
It's like I said. You support any war that you don't have to go fight yourself.
Lets see here, isreal, yeah ive heard of that. I hear theyre currently in a war of aggression with palestine, which is mentioned in the comment i linked that you clearly did not read or failed to comprehend.
As for the others, admittedly no as i havent been following geopolitics that long, and yet i can still say with confidence that those are entirely irrelevent. Assuming they were wars of aggression, where is the evidence that either me or the other person supports them?
But I appreciate how you keep sticking words in my mouth, although I'd be a little more careful about saying things like how much you love hitler and want to rape little boys.
America helping the Kurds was a drop in the bucket compared to the shit that actually destroys Americans' finances: things like
