obama was interventionist

most lefties didn't care

I just told you, the deep state and MIC snapped their fingers and manufactured consent for invasion

well obama ran on a campaign where he promised to pull out and never did basically

The majority of the U.S. already supported it, it was the left who was against it

like I remember this shit back then

it was jarring to me

well there's an actual example of how the left can manufacture consent as well

"black guy's in office? well shit, our work's done, time to nap"

trump also ran a campaign where he wanted to scale back the intervention undertaken under the obama administration

that's generally how things go

the new candidate says they want to stop doing the interventions the last guy did

yeah, people just chose not to care during Obama's run, and its really shitty

and that's the fucking devilry of manufactured consent

This is not a very good one, but it is from a long time ago

http://edition.cnn.com/2002/US/04/27/us.iraq/

you know its wrong, you just remember it after its too late

Sorry that was the same article lol

this reads rather neutral

Yes, it's not a great example

https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20191230-us-and-russian-soldiers-in-syria-fist-fight/

stats and predictions, shockingly apt.

But it does continously cite the new york times that was against it and seems to try to warn of the supposed impacts of it

nothing like CNN today.......... kind of a shame

You can actually find CNN being against the iraq intervention today xD

like many articles

well no shit, hindsight is 2020

no points

..... oh fuck me, I just realized

how often are we going to hear that this year

Too much

fuck, I can't take an entire year of puns please god no

don't you realize, if they're against U.S. intervention then they wouldn't be in favor of some sort of sekrit deep state

since when would the deep state allow them to say iraq was some kind of miserable failure over oil

just because it's after the invasion

you're still assuming intervention is good for the US

you do that a lot

What I mean is, why would the deepstate allow dissent among their chosen media goons

That's kind of my point

Why is it okay to criticize the U.S. now but not back then

if they are working for some kind of deep state
