  1.  LOAN NGUYEN  the Shah was a good guy. He promoted a secular nation and it was religious fundamentalists that got the most upset.

  2.  LOAN NGUYEN  so you think that Iran is good now and shouldn’t change? You think the Shah was worse?

  3.  LOAN NGUYEN  most countries that have experienced US backed coups are BETTER than the ones who defeated the coups. For example, Cuba and Nicaragua successfully resisted US-backed coups, and as a result those nations score poorly on NGO reports, meaning they more corrupt and poorer than their counterparts. Chile and Panama underwent US backed coups, and those nations are rated as less corrupt and wealthier. It seems that the coups did good when they happened, and that nations that align with the US do better.

  4.  @Dac_DT_MKD  no, because the US is democratic according to NGO reports and common sense. Only overthrow regimes

  5.  @cinnamonsplash  firstly, where is the proof for anything you said. You can read annual NGO reports like the Democracy Index, the CPI, the HDI, the Inequality-Adjusted HDI, and so on, the all prove the US is democratic and compares well to most other developed nations. Secondly, do you really think that the US is purposefully or carelessly killing Iraqi civilians? Where is the proof?

  6.  @alexcardosa8079  you are making things up

  7.  @nickl5658  do you have proof that the US gave rise to Iraqi Baathists? US allies of convenience does not imply that the US created them, I have seen no evidence that the Baathists exist because of the US

  8.  @ygiuzebbe  what is the point

  9.  @ygiuzebbe  in the end, it worked out well. Those banana republics are all richer and more democratic than the US’s rivals in Latin America like Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Bolivia. This is proof that US nationbuilding has positive results. As for Iraq, nothing wrong with helping Iraq bleed out Iran under the Ayatollah, it deserved to be knocked out. Iraq has also benefited a lot from the US led invasion in 2003, Iraqi Kurdistan has prospered and the Kurdish Genocide is over

  10.  @ygiuzebbe  the US didn’t enslave anyone in Iraq or Latin America, nor did it steal from any of those nations. Your logic makes no sense. The proof is that the US cares for human rights and kills tyrants

  11.  @hoshyro  NGO reports like the Democracy Index rate the US highly so your opinions are wrong
    1
  12.  @hoshyro  BBC doesn’t lie, nor do international NGO reports
    1
  13.  @ygiuzebbe  firstly this makes no sense. When has a democratically elected President been overthrown by the US? Secondly what evidence do you have of war crimes in Yemen by Israel or KSA? And what about the fact that the Yemini War was started by Iran, not by KSA or Israel?

  14.  @ygiuzebbe  provide proof and context

  15.  @simoncangguajila7743  it’s called not being uneducated

  16.  @simoncangguajila7743  what’s your point man?
    1
  17.  @joungjk7203  do you think democracy is bad? That’s the only moral US has forced on another country.

  18.  @michaeladkins6  proof?

  19.  @yasserbencheikh2626  if you opposed the Shah odds are you were uneducated, ignorant, and had it coming. No good people supported the Iranian Revolution

  20.  @b1battledroid476  the US is the good guy because it hunts down regimes

  21.  @carsonbotelho3776  hey I mean, fhs legal system did its job. It was Trump, outside the legal system, who mucked it up

  22. Most countries in the Middle East are dictatorships that deserve to be invaded. US supports democracy and civil rights, it gives billions each year to other nations
    1
  23.  @stevious7278  the US doesn’t topple democracies. Also, China is far worse than the US, China has imperialized Hong Kong, Tibet, East Turkestan, Inner Mongolia, and o the regions that lacked a Han majority.
    1
  24.  @stevious7278 Coups against Soviet allies are not toppling democracies. Secondly, US has a long history of nation building, US allies like Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, are all richer and more democratic than China, which oppresses people.
    1
  25.  @stevious7278  toppling? No, not toppling. Removing hostile leaders and replacing them with the help of local partners is what happened. Allende and the Iranian king whatever, they both had it coming. Afghanistan and Iraq have both benefited from the US invasion. You think Afghanistan was better under the Taliban or the Soviets? No words for this.

  26. Not true because NGO reports say the US is democratic
    1
  27.  @rainmanhart2809  Eh? The extremists in Iraq include Iraqi Insurgents, bandits, Iranian mercenaries, and ISIS. None of which are good people or US allies.

  28.  @mjagadp  where is your proof and context for all that?
    1
  29.  @texastaxes6016  I have done research which shows the US helped Iraq. The Brookings Institute says so and so does USAID
    1
  30. The US doesn’t commit war crimes. In case you forgot, a US court ruled that this was illegal, and it was Trump who undid it. The problem is Trump, not the US. War crimes are not routine. Meanwhile the US gives billions to the Middle East

  31.  Ben  you have no evidence for loony theories

  32.  Ben  You have zero evidence. please don’t link any websites since YouTube thinks they are spam.

  33.  Ben  you have no proof that the US is acting selfishly. US is run by people. Just like there are generous people in daily life, there can be generous humanitarians in government. Is THAT so hard to believe?

  34.  Ben  “the US doesn’t give money out of the goodness of its heart”. That is you saying the US gives money for selfish reasons. You have zero proof.

  35.  Ben  ok you are 16 right?

  37. @Ethaniel Lim eh? He didn’t prove anything or use data. He just repeated platitudes. He is not smart

  38.  @aaronfutterer89  where is the proof
    1
  39.  @aaronfutterer89  NGO reports like the Democracy Index rate the US highly and are proof that the US is morally superior to its dictator-enemies. Note also how no democratic nations are rivals of the US. Further proof that the US and democracies are morally superior

  40.  @lordchinchin8924  flawed democracy is a very good nation according to the NGO’s own definition. As well US is among other European nations like Belgium, France, etc

  41. The US gives Iraq billions each year. To say that the US is imperializing Iraq is dishonest
    1
  42.  @jamesl2308  the US gives Iraqis money every year. How is the US imperializing Iraq?
    1
  43.  @theoheinrich529  I mean it’s true. It’s asserting things without proof or neutrality, that align with Russian and Chinese interests. These nations also ran cyber-ops on social media like YouTube, Blacktivist is one used by Russians to discourage voter turnout and US Interventionism
    1
  44. The US gives Iraq billions of dollars and protects Iraq from extremism. Iraq benefits from US occupation, without it, Iraq would be taken over by bad people

  45.  @fcb4ever97  Iraqi Kurdistan is now safer and more prosperous. All of Iraq now has democratic elections. The genocides of Saddam are over
    1
  46.  @fcb4ever97  where is the proof that the US is to blame for Iraq’s troubles? How come the US is popular among the Iraqi Kurds? Maybe the rest of Iraq should clli Kurdistan and not blame the US for its problems?
    1
  47.  @fcb4ever97  firstly, where is the proof the US gave rise to Saddam? Secondly, Iraq deserved to be invaded, and anyone who misses Saddam is wrong to do so, that makes them complicit

  48.  @VanillaVillain8  US has given Iraq a lot of help
    1
  49.  @SpankinDaBagel  don’t trust random people online. He could be anyone. There are articles and polls from news and NGOs that show Iraqi Kurds are grateful and effective US allies. Articles by the Brookings Institute, Vox, etc show this. More trustworthy than random commenter
