    Funny how China and Russia combined spend a tiny fraction of what the US does on the military if the US only has it for defense.

      You either know that these dumb over simplifications are disingenuous at Nestor you should really go to school.

      Yes, yes, yeah yeah, military industrial complex is a thing, but you should.also count your blessings that the US does spend what it does. As bad as the US is, as fucked up the shit is that it regularly pulls with its armies, it’s all child’s play with what, say, China or Russia would do.

      Before you start with how loving and caring Russia and China are, maybe you should ask the Uyghurs and Ukrainians about that.

            The point that I should lick the boots of the murderous monsters who killed hundreds of thousands of innocents in Iraq and Afghanistan and are actively arming an ongoing genocide, all so they can protect their precious quarterly profits and buy off more senators? That point?

            I hope you someday find yourself on the receiving end of what you support, imperialist warmongerer.

              No, the point is that you apparently like licking boots? So you prefer China’s rule or Russia’s?

              Understanding reality is not licking boots

              I wonder how well you’d fare under chinas or Russia’s rule. But that is the point you’re missing. I never claimed that the US plays nice, a lot of US politicians belong in jail for life.

              However.

              If China was in power (or Russia for that matter) you wouldn’t even be able to vent your frustrations, lest you are far away from high windows you can fall out off. Or maybe you just need to spend 20 years in a Chinese rededication camp?

              As bad as the US is (and yeah it’s bad, nobody denies that) the alternatives are way WAY worse

                  I’m too dumb to understand so I’ll just hurl insults.

                  Okay then.

                    I understand perfectly well that you want to murder more foreigners for profit you probably won’t even see. It’s just that I hate you and everyone like you.
