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

          Yeah, he just bailed out the auto industry instead. Totally different and definitely not just cronyism pretending to be Keynesian economics, just like bailing out the banks. Wonder why people keep confusing those two things?

            You mean the loans the government gave the auto industry that they had to repay? The loans that kept about a million people from losing their jobs?

            Sure dude. They’re exactly the same. 🙄

        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.
