And let's be clear on another thing-most of the US's wars in the 20th Century after WWII were attempts to clean up the messes Europe made in the Third World and also to strengthen our own empire (the two are extremely related). I mean, we killed Lumumba because the Belgians ran a shithole, the mess in Iraq is the UK's fault, Afghanistan was invaded by the British three times to keep it from falling into Russia's sphere of influence, failing three times I might add, there's the whole French debacle in Vietnam and then there's the reality that well, the Middle East went to shit after you guys tried to run it as parts of your empires the way everything else did.....

There's a reason that much of Africa and Asia is nightmarish. That reason is your colonial misadventures (except the Philippines and certain Polynesian islands *we've* messed up/forcibly stolen).
