After years of advocating "America First," President Donald Trump's administration, the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced on Friday, "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emiri Air Force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."It led to a...
It’s also ironic to see some Americans whine about the military invasion of their cities while they’ve been doing much much worse in other countries, against international laws. It’s only appropriate to surround a building with helicopters in the middle of the night, invade their homes, force whole families outside and treat them like animals when it’s done by heroes finding WMDs in a country full of terrorists, not in American cities.
To be fair, many of those “whining” also disagree with our history of international conduct.
The same people who want to “bring democracy” to foreign nations are also cheering on these city invasions.
We aren’t all shitty.
Indeed. They are absolutely right to whine and should in fact do much more than just that. In a way it’s what makes it easy to be cynical about the situation.
At least so far your heroes haven’t cut power, water, and destroyed civilian infrastructure. Although apparently destroying schools wouldn’t change much in terms of education.
But still. You aren’t all shitty. Of course. It’s just that the good people will still let this happen and even participate if you give them a reason. I’m old enough to remember the Freedom Fries. I’m old enough to remember people protesting the illegal invasion of another country by the US. See its civilians tortured and described as “collateral damage”. And the people that participated in this are heroes. Veterans. Commenting here. Saying that no, the US will not invade Canada, or Mexico, or Greenland, because the population, and even the troops, wouldn’t allow it. English is not my native language and I struggle to describe how fucking naive, gullible, and wrong that is.
I could easily be stuck in the US but the “lottery of life” made me born 200 km North of its borders. We don’t choose where we live, or get bombed by a US missile. Some people in the US certainly also know that. I’m just sorry there isn’t more of them/you.
