There is a particular indignity that comes from living in America, derived from the experience of waking up in the morning to see reports that Donald Trump has said something profoundly evil, and then needing to type “truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump” into your web browser to see if he actually said that.

They considered using them on Korea, Vietnam, and even as recently as Afghanistan.
DO NOT let the US pin this solely on a single politician, or an administration or a US proxy. Make sure EVERYONE involved is blamed and held accountable.
This is called compartmentalization - dividing up your political fronts when dirty work is required so you can flush the consequences down with one or more of these fronts while keeping the political whole more or less intact.
The US literally does this every 4-8 years with presidents and scores of wars of aggression and other horrible foreign and domestic policies - and they will do it with this time as well.
It wasn’t “Clinton,” “Bush,” or “Obama’s” wars (although they are accomplices and equally guilty) - they are Wall Street and Washington wars - every single one of them - no matter who is picked to sell them and take the fall for them.
If you never expose and hold Wall Street and Washington as a whole accountable, they will continue their compartmentalization game forever without end."
Correct: Statesian foreign policy has been fairly consistent. Internationally it matters less whether it’s a republican or a democrat in the white house (the biggest change is how much funding USAID gets and where it goes. Everything else remains consistent. At least that’s how it looks to me because I move in the nonprofit/NGO world) It’s where we see the ratchet effect most clearly.
