It’s standard backwards reasoning, I think. It would be bad if the US had ever “overthrown a government and installed a puppet regime that was friendly to US corporate interests”; the US is never bad, therefore it never happened.
It didn’t strike me that way, but on reread I suppose it could have been. People who seriously ask this usually throw in “democratically elected” to the conditions, which makes it more difficult (but not impossible). So either an unsuccesful attempt at humor or genuine profound ignorance… it’s getting harder and harder to tell the difference.
They also fidget with the definition of “overthrown”, It has been told to me in this very board for example that if a cadre of military officers trained in the U.S. throws a coup against a democratically elected government with the tacit support and knowledge of the U.S. government that doesn’t count.
Its spelled ‘no hes really that dumb’. There is no apostrophie in he’s.
Absolutely true. And the kicker is that this comes as a surprise to virtually no one.
People were happy with it, either because they thought they might be able to pick up some of the loot themselves, or because they were so thrilled to see Those Others locked up in detention centers, deported, fired from their Generalships, etc.
“he is” is shortened to he’s
Poe’s law strikes again.
Three fuckin’ times no less.
I’ve played the board game Risk and I recognize that word from the game. You can’t take a made up country from a fictional board game and use that as proof. You might as well say the US has overthrown the governments in Mordor, Narnia and Westeros.
I’m extremely street smart, so you’ll have to try harder.
Someone has taken over his account and is posting stupid shit to make him look ever dumber than he actually is.
Wes may be a dumb warmongering piece of shit, but for a dumb warmongering piece of shit he’s pretty damn funny lately.
Again, this post is so profoundly dumb that it has to be a joke. And if it is, it’s kind of brilliant.
You’re right. I will try harder. In fact, I just rewrote the Wiki page on the 1954 overthrow of the Guatemalan government.
Stop arguing with the self-loathing troll.
I was using Olde English when I typed all that
Instead of obviously trolling people here, why don’t you just admit that this was a stupid war and you were wrong to support it.
Because there are other threads on this board full of nicer, smarter people to debate that topic with
Then, just leave this thread instead of trolling it.
Do you feel ashamed? The war isn’t your fault, but do you feel ashamed that you were so dumb and gullible that you thought Trump and Hegseth had a chance at producing a good outcome? We killed hundreds of children (and thousands of adults) for no reason at all.
God, you’re a fucking moron.
