USA foreign policy in the Middle East for the last 50 is basically just attempting to bomb countries into being liberal democracies and getting really mad every single time when it never ever works.

They would tell me, "They're not even humans. They're more like animals." I'd shake my head so hard, like, fuck off, I'm not going to be manipulated into believing that garbage. I read wayyy too many books documenting horrific historic events to believe such nonsense. Made me sick for months.

I even said, "So it's okay when a child is bit once by a dog to hate all dogs and avoid them forever because of conditioning? But it doesn't make sense that a child who has had their arm blown off and watched their family die to become determined to bring down the source of their greatest trauma?" K

I was saying this back in October 2023 to my zionist "friends," and they had me kicked out of a mom group for it. They said it was antisemitic and made them feel unsafe... because I'm humanizing Palestinian children and highlighting the cause/effect nature of trauma? Tf? It was very eye-opening.

I'd say, it's more like deposing their governments for one that'll sell oil to us on the cheap. If it's a democracy that doesn't like us, we'll overthrow it and install a dictatorship, so long as we can profit from them. Heck, Saudi Arabia is a absolute monarchy, and we get along with them fine.
