@galesteppes Man, I like Tulsi better than this faggot

This is why its difficult to have a conversation. There are a million different facts and even more ways to interpret them, and the truth is always framed on what you include. I'm just saying would things not be better if we simply applied the money we already spend to better things?

Like our infrastructure

@Fitzydog why? Because she calls out the jews?

Maybe, but if by better things you mean, send that money out of the country, then no. We have people here who are in just as much need of it.

@galesteppes Because at least she understands nation building is a mistake

Im advocating for accountability lol fuck the Clintons fuck the Bushes and the Obamas they are all just a different type of the same ugly problem.

You haven't really explained why @Fitzydog

@EnderOctanus why what?

Why nation building is bad. Give them the reasons.

Okay, name a country it's worked in

I mean the cost in blood is obvious

Haiti and the Clinton admin is fucked. But that doesnt make the money sent there in the first place wrong to do so. It only makes the corruption clinton foundation fucked. Just stop sending the money you send to corrupt fucks.

@Fitzydog Japan and South Korea

@Aztec Sun God Hmm, and what's different?

We spent hundreds of thousands of lives in those countries.

A big ole military base saying "fucking try it" to corruption

We killed a large portion of their populations too.

Lol okay bud

The ones that stayed were the ones willing to make capitalism work.

@Aztec Sun God Could it be that both countries were fully functioning before we invaded?

The rest fled or died.

Korea not really

Japan yeah

There was still a wish to become a functioning nation, and nationalism

Try that in Afghanistan lmao

I'm not really sure you can call Japan functional pre US WW2 involvement

Well not in any way that would be good for people at least

I bet you more than half the population of Afghanistan couldn't even tell you the name of their country

They functioned well enough to blow us the fuck up and take over China.

To say Japan wasn't functioning is retard level analysis

They just weren't to YOUR expectations

@EnderOctanus Right because nanking is what a functioning nation looks like. They clearly WORKED if you changed what WORKS means. And if the definition of WORKING is subjective then how do you say any nation isnt working.

<:thronk:441701565607444482>

I dunno.

@Fitzydog is the one who is super into this topic lol

I look at other nations and generally just don't give a fuck, I see potential enemies.

In what world do you live that 'functioning' and 'working' are not synonyms?

Im just saying like hell they couldnt account for trillions. Im just saying either dont take it from me or spend it accountably

Im saying that functioning means that its fulfilling its function. But if its functioning and melting peoples arms off with boiling water at the same time, then its whole function is fucked up. I agree we give money to corrupt politicians and expecting anything less than corruption is taking a naive moral high ground

By your definition, no govt has ever been 'functioning'
