  • i like your thinking. especially the part about needing an ally like Isreal in the middle east.

    I think that the idea of “least bad option” and power vacums is messed up. I am a pacifist. Maybe this is the world we live in. Step on people or get stepped on. I just think the charade of US being some benevolent savior is such bullshit and it would be nice to shed some light on all the suffering an injustice caused by waging all these foreign wars.

    I think the least bad option would be diplomacy.

    I think the least bad option would be not to bully other countries through threats of violence or economical sanctions of they don’t come around to US policy.

    I think that manufacturing consent through accusing other countries of not being democratic is doesn’t justify war. That is lying to the public and makes people not trust government.

    Thank you for addressing my previous points. I have now gotten my unpopular opinion out of my system. Time for coffee

    Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of intentional violence and fear to achieve political or ideological aims. I think that USA fits the bill. Let’s not discuss semantics. As OP, I want to focus this post on how if you can change my mind on US Foreign policy which to me is pretty fucked up.
