@UnScottable
Whats wrong with helping our allies in the middle east?..

🤔

you need some re-education man..

come with me to the museum.. Behold the wall of shoes. See firsthand the sins of your ancestors. Then maybe you'll understand why we help our allies.

@Arrias come on man. Israel needs us. We need to be there for our allies if we expect anything in return. Israels always been there for _us_ when it was convienent for them. Learn to appreciate your alliances.. sheesh

At that point the middle East was the ottoman empire

@Arrias We hit Tripoli because they were taking our people.

I mean it comes down to do we let them kill each other or spend resources to stop them

I say leave them be if they aren't destroying ruins

I say we take one of two paths

1) we let the dirt farmers kill eachother as they've done for millenia

2) we go in and fix it. Not with temporary military aid, no. We straight up annex that shit.

Colonizers did nothing wrong.

I mean we should not have pulled out under Obama we were not taking losses and it was as stabile as it was going to get

Hong Kong wishes it was still a colony

I agree we created a power vacuum

but I think we either let idiots kill themselves, and do what we can from a distance, or we go in and take over

none of this half-ass shit

what evidence is there that hong kongers wish they were still a british colony

I hate it when people say the europians or Americans destabled the middle East it was never stable the closest thing was when one empire owns it all

I suppose it must be pointed out its not a Union Jack they're flying constantly

I dunno, Suleiman's Ottomans had their shit together for a while he was in charge

That's what I mean the only time it's somewhat stable is if an empire owns most of it

even took a look at the legal system and said "okay, this sharia thing isn't a one-size fits all deal, lets fix this"

Generally though there is some repression at least at the anitial conquest

They also fly the US flag

The symbol for freedom

And they burn the USSR flag, the symbol of communism

they should write a letter to the queen ask her to take them back

that's not proof

i can find people in the united states holding all sorts of flags

doesn't mean anything

seem like they would prefure it to the Authoritarian Nightmare they are getting

why

also, again, China has at least attempted to form a democratic government in the past

Revive China Society? Sun Yat Sen?

fell apart within a year, but the desire is there
