Tulsi Gabbard says we shouldn't do another costly regime-change war in Syria and Morning Joe accuses her of being a "dictator lover."

Oh, you don't like people who love dictators? Then I'm sure you must hate the dictatorial theocracy that is Saudi Arabia, right? I mean it's totally not like you support giving them weapons and American tax money while they're committing a genocide.

Modern day empire.
The Saudi air force wouldn't be able to.operate as "efficiently" without the support of the US and UK military personnel......it's especially disgusting when the UKs foreign secretary, Jeremy (C)hunt, announced, like he is the most righteous man, that the UK are giving an extra 2.5 million in aid to Yemen. What a bunch of jokers.......we train Saudi pilots, have sold Saudi over £5 billion since the the Saudis have started there state sponsored genocide (that's what it is, 14 million in the verge of starvation, see the UN report also) and we are directly involved in the ground.......I'm ashamed of my governemnt

Well. The thing is we always "nation build" not "state build". That's because special military industrial interests make more money nation building. Nation building just requires selling weapons to people and declaring one is on the right side. State building requires actually help building political coalitions on the ground and identifying real political, social, and economic needs and interests. There's no money. And you don't get what you want. You get what is real.

Everyone pre trump: we’re just fighting proxy wars for regime change.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Anyone who said that before Trump was elected was a fucking idiot. What the fuck are we doing in Syria? What the fuck are we doing in the eight other countries we've invaded? WHY do we have to spend the money we as workers have earned by working our jobs on killing people in other countries that have never attacked us, and couldn't attack us even if they wanted to?
