Hitting US bases should come with significant risks
But the US should be allowed to put bases wherever it wants?
Yeah when we ask the government of that place, and they say yes, we should then feel free to do that.
The US “asks”
Look at the ruins left all over that region to see what happens to countries that don’t cooperate.
They get overrun by the local threats the USA may have been able to help with? I mean, there’s obviously nuance here, but you aren’t using it either so
Don’t waste your time. This user has gems like:
Liberals in America are just right wing anti-communists, they’re not leftists at all. As for Bernie, social-democracy is the moderate wing of fascism and that’s why he supports Biden’s genocide.
Both parties are evil because this is an evil country that must be stopped.
But I’m quite serious about hating America. No one should be president and we should do everything possible to make that a reality.
And told me that Russia is less corrupt and authoritarian than the USA. They ran away from that conversation once facts were laid out.
Actually I went to work and your post required too much to respond during a bathroom break.
I’ll get to you this afternoon!
Looking forward to it. Especially where you’ll come up with 6 million deficit in domestic murders akin to the Stalin Regime.
Or what compares to being imprisoned for 15 years for a blank protest sign or publicly opposing the war in Ukraine.
Do they put them wherever they want, or in coordination with the local sovereign governments?
You can look at what happens to countries that don’t “coordinate”
They often crumble from internal sectarian violence. Or get overrun by Russian sock-puppets barrel-bombing and using chemical weapons against their own people. But ah, yes, while I opposed the Iraq invasion, Saddam was clearly a great guy and Iraq was thriving, right? Or how about Iran? No bases there! I’m sure the women just love their bastion of freedom from their US overlords, lol.
Iraq was better off before the invasion. Fact.
Also, do you think women get freedom when the US installs bases?
20 years more of Saddam rule? As much as the pretense for going into Iraq was bogus, the oppressed Shia population would beg to differ.
You’re the one who told me to look at countries that don’t coordinate with the US. I did. I’m not impressed. I look at countries like Germany today and by contrast, I am impressed. So are you impressed by Iran, Russia, North Korea? Or do you disagree with the likes of Jordan openly cooperating with the US to contain ISIS?
Well, they are still illegally occupying a third of Syria. https://www.algora.com/Algora_blog/2023/04/29/us-in-syria-the-forgotten-illegal-occupation
And ofcourse, this gem… https://youtu.be/U10p3Tn9V5Y?t=19
If I’m honest that’s one occupation I’m fine with remaining illegal. Fuck the Assad regime, and fuck Russia.
Just so you know, that article you provided is made literally by the Kremlin state media, who just so happen to have bombed Syrian civilians relentlessly for years and have propped up the brutal dictator Assad for years.
Also considering how much Trump cozies up to Putin, I also don’t give a damn what Donnie says.
Yeah I’m generally anti us military action and I don’t want this to turn into a war again, but this really does feel like a fuck around and find out situation. US troops have been killed and strikes have continued against our ships.
And not just our ships, but global trade ships. A blatant attempt to disrupt the global economy, which much of the world relies on the world’s largest navy to protect.
