Yeah you’re right. The recent meddling in the middle east is once again a continuation of those errors. It just goes on and on and on. The US public indulges their fantasy of global do-gooder / defender of freedom and strokes it’s military fetish (my peni… military is bigger than yours hur dur) while the rest of the planet gets hit by the fallout (terrorism, refugees etc).
I’m sick of hearing “but I didn’t vote for him”. Republican or Democrat - there is no difference, every US politician has to please the US voter and the US voter wants flag waving nationalism and the military golden calf. Obama tortured and killed like G.W. Bush - it’s just degrees of awfulness.
Why aren’t those that didn’t vote for Trump (or Bush, or …) on the streets. I don’t see hundreds of thousands marching to Washington, boycotts, nationwide strikes etc right now like e.g. in Venezuela. If people are really opposed to something they have take action and do something or they’re responsible as well.
