  It’s like the old saying, ”If USA saw what A was doing to B they would invade C to ’protect D from E.’”

  Literally only USA ever thought USA was the good guys

    Ehhhh, we had a perception as the big damn heroes after tipping the scales in WW2 and then with the founding of the UN, being the only member state that wasn’t devastated by WW2, positioning us as the de facto enforcer. There was some very limited good work done in that context that got good press in Europe. But we were also overthrowing democratic south American nations nonstop during that time… And everything since…

    There have been times that others thought we were the good guys, but they were probably just wrong.

  And the CIA had a hand in the Opium trade in Afghanistan while we were there.

  The US is comically evil abroad, and getting worse domestically every day.

  Just yesterday Trump admitted it was for the oil. Which also has the benefit of distracting from the Epstein files.

  Nobody pushes drugs.

  Americans gobble up drugs like Hungry Hippos and the cartels are just violent psychopaths that want to be the distributors.

    Lmao, you do realize that drugs are a global thing, right?

    • rafoix@lemmy.zip ⁨52⁩ ⁨seconds⁩ ago

      They are.

      If you look up who consumes the most drugs I think you’ll find some really fun facts. Not only do more people in the US consume drugs but the quantity is also noticeably higher than anyone else.

      The pusher theory is bs. Nobody is out there handing out free drugs to get people hooked.

  Not that the 20 year occupation of Afghanistan wasn’t an absolute clusterfuck, but the Taliban were harbouring Al-Qaida leadership. To say otherwise is just denying historical facts.

    Oh, hey, yes, you’re right, there’s that too: the US also invented the concept of the “war on terror”, which has now been adopted by Israel, for example, to justify the genocide of the Palestinians. It’s really handy when you can just “excuse” the cold-blooded murder of thousands upon thousands of civilians with the argument that they are all supposedly terrorists. All you have to do is say, hey, they’re harboring terrorists, so let’s kill them all, including the women and children - the more we kill, the better, because once they grow up, they’ll all be terrorists.

      I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here? That we should deny inconvenient facts because they don’t fit simple black-and-white narratives? The War on Terror spawning countless atrocities against civilians doesn’t retroactively justify 9/11 or sheltering those responsible for it.

  If we really cared about drugs we would have drone struck the sackler family.
