Concerning Situation in Pakistan

[Husker_Du]

my comments on a wrestling message board adversely affect the country? 

there's no problem with anyone criticizing certain amercan actions/policies.

but that's all you do. even when there's nothing there.

you're a caricature.

You constantly criticize Biden and the Democrats. Why do you hate America?

Gee, when Hillary did it and was proud she did it, it was because she loved America.    So it's true, there's a standard for liberals and a completely different one for conservatives.    We are seeing that in the Hillary/Biden/Trump classified documents scenarios.   Dem?  Get a pass.   Rep?   Taken to the cleaners.

if you want to be lazy that’s fine but the effects of things like this are far reaching and often are t fully realized until years later. 

we found out years after the fact the cia and mi6 overthrew Mossadegh in Iran (secular democratically elected leader who wanted to nationalize iran’s oil industry to lift his country out of poverty) and replaced him with the old monarchy on behalf of british oil interests. the subsequent brutal reign of the shah produced the conditions for the islamic revolution, which spread across the region like wildfire. 

almost every issue in the middle east today is linked to that one event. these things are important, whether you care or not.

The differing results of the same action by Rs and Ds.   Very different outcome.   Criticize Ds, you are unAmerican.   Criticize Rs, and you are a patriot.

So how did Husker have anything to do with anything over there?

other than his tax dollars funding it just like yours and mine? nothing.

The intercept is not close to a reliable source, especially when it comes to speculation about US Foreign policy.
 

So unless you have a better source than that for the US supporting a coup in Pakistan, you might as well be quoting infowars (they’re kind of like the liberal version of infowars).

That’s why it’s Bernie’s favorite reading material
