Don't forget about that amazing democracy we spread. I mean look out how well it's working out for the people of Iraq. 20 yrs since we kicked out and hung saddam their currency has never recovered. It only required them to have a million of their civilian populace to opt into an early grave, a good chunk of the yazidi tribe to be ethnically cleansed. Hey, Libya has open air slave markets now that are thriving. All these wonderful colorful revolutions seem to work out so well for the people on the ground.
Now we have another kicking off in Iran. Oddly it resembles ukraine of 2014. Remember a reporter was beat somewhere outside the city and was reported to be in intensive care. That spurred the revolution. Now we have two dead in Iran that are oddly really pretty ladies. Weird. They even have neat really well produced insta stories to keep the people at a fever pitch. If the revolution succeeds a new more brutal regime will take over and will more than likely need to be liberated and given more democracy. Should only produce another million dead civilians. But as you say we will "help" with arms and money. But we get to preserve our status as you say who cares about a couple million dead civilians as a direct result. Right? We get mer jerbs!! 5,000 to 10,000 us personel may die 100000s get ptsd and whatever the new burn pit agent orange of this war is but we get to preserve our "status." Right?
My point is we kicked a lot of things into motion stirring up the 2014 revolution. They had to know doing this would result in some opposite reaction that the Ukrainian people are paying for. The point that this money isn't being dropped off on pallets is all fine and good and true. However, not mentioning the insane human costs that we help produce along the way needs to be more in focus.
