      Stop trying to compare someone who had 1-2 questionable actions to someone who has historically been one of the singular worst people to exist in history.

      Your need to somehow appear ‘better’ than others by criticizing both sides of something just make you look like a pseudointellectual trying to sound smart.

        1-2? Like choosing to destroy the wealth of millions of homeowners while bailing out the banks, and deporting millions of hardworking people?

            Yeah man, using the best tech at the time to limit collateral damage to a minimum is totally a net negative. Lets just bomb places like we used to, that’s a much better option right?

              I have a better solution. Don’t do both of those things. If you think it’s justified for some greater good, you’re falling for the propaganda.

                Yeah sure knowing the dudes killing US soldiers, then eliminating them in the best way possible at the time is totally a bad thing.

                  Why are they killing US soldiers? Where are these soldiers and why?

                  They’re likely at one of ~800 military bases the empire has around the world that we use as an implicit (and sometime explicit) threat. We do violence so you can have bananas picked by slaves and install governments that will let us fleece the countries.

                  Those soldiers aren’t defending us, they almost never die on US soil. They are there in an offensive capacity.
