WWII is the one exceptional case of american intervention. After that you're literally scraping the bottom of the barrel. 3 of those were our puppets and the last was a tiny Carribean island.

Let's look at some of the other examplea

  • Afghanistan
  • Libya
  • Syria
  • Iraq
  • Honduras
  • Nicaragua
  • Angola
  • Namibia
  • Chile (putting in Pinochet)
  • Vietnam
  • Laos
  • Iran
  • North Korea
  • Philippines
  • Cuba (Bautista)

There's certainly more - almost every Latin american nation could be mentioned - but I think I've made my point.

Do you really think the Islamic Republic of Iran will fall like Noriega? Please. They'll have a new Supreme Ayatollah in months and there's still the entire IRGC to deal with. The Iranian people may not be as theological as their government but they are deeply nationalist. Any criticism of their government is now: "you want our schoolgirls bombed".

Only would happen if he slashes corn subsidies which would be way dumber than the tariffs he first proposed.

You seem to have some completely backwards idea that liberals are anti-billionaire socialists when liberalism is pro-capitalism by definition. NY Times is the mouthpiece of american liberalism.

Ahistorical nonsense. They don't believe in a nobility by birth, but they absolutely believe that some people "are just better than others" and who should rule. Its so foundational to the ideology that its written into the US Constitution. Anyone who believes that capitalism is a meritocracy (ie Liberals) believes there should be a liberal elite.

All I'm doing is pointing out the a the Islamic State is strictly worse than the Taliban and its good that the Taliban are fighting them. I'd prefer it'd be someone other than the Taliban but that doesn't change the facts.

Making fun of the Taliban for joining forces against the Islamic State, the terrorists from the meme is defending them.

[-] sudo@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago

The Islamic State are the ones suicide bombing Hazari women at the moment not the Taliban.

[-] sudo@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago

No. And no patience for the semantic argument you're wasting my time with when we both agree on the material reality

[-] sudo@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago

Those are the terrorists the Taliban is currently fighting. Islamic State Khorasan Province, ISKP.

So they used violence against Palestinian people

What the fuck are you even referring to? Putting down the Fatah coup? How dare they defend Palestinian democracy.

and only accepted a small portion of the vote

Again, what are you referring to? The election was internationally accepted as free and fair.

used political violence and only a small portion of the population to gain power

Made up bullshit that I literally just disproved with George Fucking Bush agreeing that they won the election fair in square.

Terrorist organization

They said the same thing about the ANC and Nelson Mandela. Do you know where South Africa stands on this issue?

Israel is trying to widen the war. The Iranian response fairly tame and measured as usual. Like when we illegally killed their general in Iraq and they casually hit our bases there.
