American presence, in the interest of a sham democracy, in any country has not served the world well including ourselves.
It’s American hubris which has us convinced that we are divine saviors of children of a lesser god. It’s colonialism at its worst.
Wars are for petrodollars and strategic presence in the Middle East and to ‘protect’ israel. We made short shrift of that region. Now, it’s utter chaos. Precious ancient civilizations lost. It’s the Crusades replay.
Stability will never come to Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and Syria. Egypt is in the pharaonic grip of autocracy. With our blessing.
A long history of a formulaic pattern of subjugation of the other.
Between hubris, petrodollars, heroin, cocaine, money laundering Christianity and Islam the world stands screwed.
