    Being proud of being the sole reason a proxy war can continue is not a good thing.

        That’s what got us Bin Laden, the Balkans wars, and a bunch of horrible terrorism everywhere.

        Seriously. Trace what happened to the mujahidin leaders, and the weapons we gave them. I think you’ll be surprised at the destruction they wrought all across the globe.

        While you’re at it, check out what the Ukrainians think the percentage of weapons we are giving them end up getting to the soldiers. Also, check out why they just fired the head of their recruitment centers. Also, the Defense Minister.

        I swear, everyone is all like “TANKIE TANKIE” to anyone with an attention span longer than 6 months. Most of them don’t even know what that word fucking means.

        At least there isn’t the stupid “red-brown alliance” smear for anyone that doesn’t agree with the literal State departments propaganda. If you were all alive in the 80’s, you’d be cheering on the death squad contras, and worshiping Reagan.

        I welcome your hate.

        Do you remember when being a liberal meant being anti-war? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

          Pretty sure liberals were anti-invasions.

          But seeing as the US is usually the one to invade other countries, I understand why some of you see it as “anti-war”.

            Not flooding the world with weapons we can’t control, and not spending the money on the weapons in the first place is intrinsic to domestic policy. The two are not separate.
