@stanleybmanly The United States having squandered its warmaking credibility with its voting public, is now in the uncomfortable position of having to choose the lesser of the 2 evils and throw in with Iran/Assad, to the certain irritation of Israel and every living Sunni
I guess that all changes again when Iran acting as Uncle Sam’s Luca Brasi against ISIS and other Islamic purist use the opportunity to join the ”Nuke Club” causing Israel to hit them with an attack. Then I guess the US will not see the value in Iran anymore and change dancers once again.
@rojo Or, for that matter, Nicaragua, or El Salvador, or Cuba, or Panama, or Haiti, or…....How many more do I have to list to finally get your attention and point out that the US is just as, if not more so, guilty of interfering and fomenting unrest in other countries.
Jeez, but Uncle Sam is the biggest and badest on the block, with the largest army, a colossal navy, drones, nukes, and bases in just about every man and his brother’s backyard. With might like that, you haffta be right! Because of Uncle Sam, the oils still flows rather cheap to US pumps, and the drugs still flow freely from Central America to an ever unhappy populace that needs to self-medicate to get through the day and the DEA that is trying to bust them to justify their jobs. ~~
@zenvelo Isolationism may be attractive, but it does not work in the face of horrendous human rights violations as are occurring in Syria under Assad and in the region under the banner of ISIS. The US did not intervene with ISIS until they tried to commit genocide against the Kurds.
Oh, now I get it, how dumb of me. To get the US to intervene in genocide I guess you have to have Kurds or Bosnians. Guess those Tutsis in Rwanda and those hapless souls in Darfur must have missed that memo, or they would have got them some Kurds, or Bosnians to get the US to meddle in their affairs to stop the genocide which happened, and maybe still happening, there.
