  1.  @maverick7874  The embargo ended more than half a century ago. The Berlin wall came down in the 1980s and yet there is not one iota of poverty remaining in East Germany due to Communism. Also "puppet" is a completely meaningless term used to discredit any government that isn't enemies of the US. A true puppet would require strings but your kind are never able to identify any.

  2. That's why the left always uses the word "justice" to describe what they are fighting for, because justice is the one word you can use to turn destruction into a virtue.

  3.  @ratherbenapping10  Look up Bantu Expansionism you self-indulgent hypocrite. Also if you really are Native, I'm almost certain your living on land that wasn't originally yours. What's your tribe and where do you live?

  4. Everyone always wants America gone, until we say "Okay, fine, we're leaving."

  5. I know saying that makes you feel like a real badass who's sticking it to the man, but how did chaos serve American interests? Even oil exports decreased as violence increased.

  6.  @dyu999  People bury their heads from the uncomfortable moral paradoxes this war presents. The Iraqis wanted to be liberated according to March 22 - April 9 2004 poll. They only changed their tune later when sectarian violence kicked into high gear around mid-2006. So George Bush's real crime was assuming he didn't know what's better for Iraq than the Iraqis. But if we're supposed to assume we know better than they do, how can you not justify things like colonialism? Of course, no one wants to confront thoughts like that, because we live in an age of willful blindness and intellectual dishonesty.

  7. A poll conducted from March 22 - April 9 2004 showed Iraqis by a margin of more than 2 to 1 thought the invasion was "worth it" for ousting Saddam. It wasn't until sectarian violence kicked into high gear that they changed their tune. Those who aren't factophobic should Google these words: "Nearly half the Iraqis polled in a survey conducted primarily in March and early April said they believed the U.S.-led war had done more harm than good, but 61 percent of respondents said Saddam Hussein's ouster made it worth any hardships" Only 28% said "not worth it."

  8. Sadly I can only conclude most blacks today seem to see compassion as a sign of weakness and respect cruelty as a sign of strength. Nick Cannon called white people "savages" and "closer to animals" after whites came out in the millions to protest the death of a black man even as we've chronically ignored their own people killed by cops (Thomas Kelly, Joseph Hutcheson, Gil Collar, etc.), but had nothing to say about the Libyan slave trade. Mohammed Ali dropped his original name, the name of white abolitionist who almost died twice for his belief and founded the South first multi-racial college, in favor of a slave holder who called black people raisin-heads. So perverse, backwards, and disgusting. The West is seeing the biggest inversion of karma in human history, as our compassion, tolerance, egilitarianism, and self-depreciation is leading to our downfall.

  9.  @254react  Sub-Saharan Africa is the most hungry place in the world yet Bantus are the best farmers?

  10.  @ZenHornWhale  The US supported a populist uprisining in Libya against a dictator who was shooting protestors from jets. Isn't it convenient how whenever someone takes up arms against the US in a country like Iraq, we assume they represent the will of their people, but that magically doesn't apply in the case of Libyans rebelling against Gaddaffi? Besides, if there was no intervention in Libya, it almost certainly would have just gone the way of Syria.

  11. In poor places, children work the farm so they pay for themselves and aren't nearly as much of a financial drain as in the developed world. Also, children take care of their parents in old age since there is no social security or 401Ks. It's not about horniness.

  12. There are countless "black only" towns in South Africa. They are called "black tribal homelands."

  13. STFU. Japan is racist but so is China, Latin America, the Arab World, etc. Look at Mexico's presidential cabinet. Try to find a single black man serving in Saudi Arabia's parliament (their country is 10% black). The left loves to single out certain groups and pretend they are born with some kind of unique, genetic predisposition to evil.

  15. Even you have no idea what you mean by this. How could the US possibly engineer a sectarian divide in Iraq even if it wanted to.

  16. A study published by no less than NPR showed African Americans are already over-represented in the media. In fact, Gallup shows people assume blacks are 33% of our population, when they are less than half of that. How does that happen to a group that's under represented in the media? Stop with these leftwing mindgames. This was casting about spiting white people.

  18. The last 6 Disney female leads have been POCs but if you posted a video of white girls reacting excitedly to the fact Ariel looked like them, it would be to say "Look at those little Nazis! We need CRT in pre-school!"

  19.  @freegedankenzurbaukunst5613  Do you ever stop to think of what the word "empire" means? How did Iraq become part of an American empire? We set up an independent democracy. They had Sadrists serving in parliament and Islam written into their constitution FFS.

  20. White people trip over ourselves to pander to black people, and they hate us. Brown people sell blacks in the streets, and black Americans consider them "Brothas in da struggle!"

  21. For God's sake, annexing pieces of other people's countries is the textbook definition of colonailism.

  22. Chavez was the absolute embodiment of the modern far-left. Hated America. Hated Irsael. Preached socialism. Called Bush the devil. Loved Middle Eastern tyrants and terrorists. And then ushered in era of misery unparalleled in the 21st century.

  23. Liberals five years ago: Japanese are just meek little oppressed POCs and that got nuked because FDR was a meanie. Liberals today: Two nukes weren't enough.

  24. There's racism everywhere. But the left only cares about attacking prosperous, moral countries. Racism in the Congo or the Arab world doesn't interest them.

  25. The people in upstate New York probably own 100X as much land per capita as the people in Manhattan. Yet Manhattan is one of the richest places in the world and they look down on upstaters as rubes and hicks. Land =/= prosperity. Farmers need a lot of land because they're farmers. It requires a lot of space.

  26. Libya would have gone the way of Syria if the US didn't intervene.

  27. Yes, kids learning racial tribalism before their ABCs is so beautiful.

  28. Does the world even remember the Genocide the Zulu did (the Mfecane) to claim a piece of land the size of New Jersey? No they don't. Even Africans are so ignorant of their own history its incredible.

  29. The land of the free and home of the brave. Not the land of the pansies and home of the quarantined. Look at how well "social distancing" is working for New York and California. But liberals support any policy that costs American tax payers money, as long as it doesn't kill terrorists. This virus is killed by sunshine, and getting people out of their homes and into the springtime sunshine may be exactly what we need.

  30. For God's sake, it's in the title. This WASN'T an American military base. It was an Iraqi military which US troops were stationed in, almost certainly to train Iraqi soldiers.

  31. That's what started this ironically, so bad idea.

  32. You do not have a single fact in the universe to back that up.

  33. Objectively it is both. It put the Iraqis in control of their own future, for better or worse. If you let a prisoner go free, and the first thing he does is fall and break his neck, you stillo, objectively, freed him. You think it was America who decided Iraqis should elect Sadrists into parliament and write Islam into their constitution?

  34. Our crime was assuming we didn't know better than the Iraqis what was best for Iraq. A poll conducted from March 22 - April 9 2004 showed Iraqis by a margin of more than 2 to 1 thought the invasion was "worth it" for ousting Saddam.

  36.  @VenezuelaNow  There are 7 other countries more dependent on oil than Venezuela and none of them saw their economies collapse. Why aren't people starving in the UAE right now?

  37.  @curtisthomas2670  Even you don't know how that makes any sense. How was chaos in anyway good for the US? Why did the US benefit from highways and oil pipelines getting blown up by carbombs? How did it benefit from having to spend hundreds of billions repair infrastructure? How did it benefit for Iraq to be a breeding ground for our mortal enemies.
    2
  38.  @TheAcousticgrace  None of that explains why chaos would be beneficial to US interests. Believe it or not its not good for the oil industry when you have terrorists blowing up pipelines and highways, which happened all the time during the worst years of violence in Iraq. Also, the US doesn't have a single permanent base in Iraq. That was forbidden according to the 2008 SOFA.

  39. According to Iraq Body Count, 87% of civilians in Iraq were not killed by coalition forces. This is precisely why: they knew any chaos and death they sewed would become a propaganda victory because it would get blamed on their American enemies. How else do you explain such bizarre events as the July Soccer Bombings, which seemed to target no group in particular? Those blaming America for the evil of our mortal enemies, congrats. You were the ones who encouraged this.

  40. Who were the brave Iraqis and Afghans? I hope you don't mean the Taliban, who killed 80% of the civilians in the Afghan War according to the UN, or the insurgents in Iraq who killed an even greater proportion according to IBC.

  41.  @alexrockstone9035  "In total, over 150,000 people have been killed and 80 percent of them – more than 122,000 – were civilians, said the IBC. [...] According to a 2010 assessment by John Sloboda, director of Iraq Body Count, U.S. and Coalition forces had killed at least 22,668 insurgents as well as 13,807 civilians in the Iraq War, with the rest of the civilians killed by insurgents, militias, or terrorists." 122,000 vs 13,807.

  42. So are many countries. The left however is trying to turn the Japanese into their punching bag, just like they did with America under Bush, the 1% under Obama, and white people under Trump. The Japanese are not are born with a unique, genetic predisposition to evil. This has got to stop. Humanity is a flawed species and racism is everywhere. Yet somehow everyone except for Westerners and Japanese get a pass.

  43. Or maybe the reactions are real and these kids have been taught race tribalism before their ABCs.

  46. Get Bernie Sanders' supporters to stop crying about how hard their fatasses have it and have them all surrender a measely 1% of their income to these people. THAT will improve lives.

  47. We need to send Bernie Sanders and AOC over there to explain to these people how Walmart and Amazon are being paid "starvation wages."

  48. And yet you're the same people who say this was a war for oil. Oil exports in Iraq were down during the most violent years. It's kind of bad for business when insurgents/terrorists blow up highways and oil pipelines, which they did all the time.

  49. A liberated democratic Middle East? 🤮 That's what they had. And you're the same people who claim democracy is just an arbitrary Western choice of lifestyle they didn't want.

  50. The Iraqi government had Sadrists serving in parliament, Islam written into their consituation, condemened Ms. Iraq for posing with Ms. Israel, drafted a SOFA that denied the US the right to keep any permanent military bases in their country. But sure, call it a puppet government based on absolutely nothing.
