I would agree most humans would rebel and DO rebel when their needs are not met by the powers that be. The Russian revolution, the French Revolution, the Iranian revolution and the American revolution ALL STARTED for the same reasons. Too many people in those given societies felt fucked by the powers they ended up defeating.
No, unlike Bush Jr and Bush Sr, Trump today is the only one I'd agree is out to start another war to avoid Mueller.
I still would agree with Bush Sr in the first Iraq invasion because Kuwait invited us. And I still agree with Obama getting the Navy Seals to put a bullet in Bin Laden's eye.
I think where Bush Jr went wrong was trying to prove himself to Daddy Bush trying to make excuses to invade Iraq the second time. And Bush could have easily done what Obama finally did a decade later, instead of an entire ground invasion of Afghanistan.
But there is still no getting around the fact, that between the open west, and the closed theocracies of the east, we CURRENTLY still have more opportunity to defend the individual from a human rights standpoint.
I would agree currently with the orange turd, that if he were to start a war, ANYWHERE, it would be an attempt to distract from the Mueller investigation.
The U.S made billions from the Iraq-Iran war by selling arms to both side. And it came after the war to complete the sucking of the country's oil, that went in history books Brian.
The foreign policy of America in the Arabian Gulf was constant: support warlords and vicious criminals to guard its oil supplies. And when the people revolt; they receive an invasion or a prison sentence for life with torture to the death.
Trump is just doing it out in the open. The previous administrations did it in the dark.
