No we got the gucci contract money and perhaps a degree of strategic control as fleeting as it is
Nobody gives a shit
Their democracy wants to kick us out
So we just ignored them
I do not give a rat's ass if there is democracy in Iraq
Their democracy wants a lot of things
Saddam Hussein was based anyway
I do
Don't fucking care one bit
Saddam was gay
Inavdes Persia and loses
Most Americans cannot even find Iraq on a map but I can and I still do not care
So cool
why do you have skull mask pfp
American foreign policy (at least post Wilson) has been fairly moral
Nigga nobody cares about morality
Why wouldn't it
We turned Vietnamese children into roast beef to prevent a red flag from flying in Hanoi because French asked us to
Yeah lol
We supported Pol Pot to pwn the libs in Vietnam afterwards also
the actions aren’t rooted in morality they could care less about that, it’s just perceived that way to get public consent
We whacked Gaddafi and now Libya has slavery again
Literally nobody cares about morality
Talking wilsomian idealism here
National self determination
You can't say we did x immoral thing in war because war is inherently immoral
We went to Vietnam because they violated the sovereignty of South Vietnam
France want even involved they already lost the Indochina war
Nope French asked Eisenhower to help
And we did not want Soviet sphere to increase
It wasn't even about stopping communism because again we helped Pol Pot
and made friends with China
yeah but making friends with china literally only let the usa's have a foreign policy of them turning a blind eye saying they'll democratize lolololololol
wilsonian idealism fell off after Wilson btw especially after ww2
American foreign policy takes a big L on the China question
Befriending China literally won us the cold war
a detente with Soviet Union (Cold War) isn’t wilsonian idelaism
Someone should've assassinated Deng before he had his big brain ideas
yeah ofc cause america followed the idea of the enemy of my enemy
China is fine they would reach were they are today regardless
