Thread: American Foreign Policy Hasn't Changed in 50 years

I understand you completely politics is shit and half of politicians are bad evil men

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Evidence against Iraq 'unmistakable'

BBC NEWS | Middle East | US 'troubled' by Iraq weapons finds

BBC NEWS | Americas | Bush promises evidence on Iraq

BBC NEWS | Middle East | US highlights new weapons find

But... that's because something similar has happened in Syria.

The dissimilarity has been in America's foreign policy. Last time they wanted a full scale invasion, and did so despite international protests. This time they wanted a few targeted strikes involving no troops, and even that has been put on the backburner because of the international dialogue. That's really very different. I think the worst you can say about Obama's conduct is that it has been a bit inept and confused. The worst you could say about Bush's conduct was that he was an aggressive, lying warmonger.

The similarity is a false flag operation conducted by the US to topple governments that oppose Western standards.

Obama is just as bad as Bush if not worse, right now the only nations I see pushing for war are the US & France. The UK totally pulled out which is a HUGE deal that for some reason gets overlooked.

What? Why does having troops on the ground matter, they are planning to attack a foreign nation with tomahawk missiles this would be an act of war. How did the US government react when the Japanese attacked pearl harbor, did they twiddle their thumbs and say, "well they didn't put boots on the ground... So its OK right?"

Obama is just as much of a warmonger as Bush, because as General Wesley said the problem is with American foreign policy which has been hijacked by a policy coup of key individuals.

And that was the final line I read in your thread.

When a disagreement is reached thats when discussion gets interesting. If you don't have the confidence to back up your disapproval then maybe it is best for you to leave this thread, as its likely you don't have the knowledge to participate and will just end up embarrassing yourself.

Bye.
