I was just thinking that leftists were overdue to gently caress up this issue and hand it to the right wing propaganda engine on a silver platter in order to make a hot take.

Can't fault him for that. Bunned hair on a man is one of the clearest possible signals that you're dealing with an obnoxious rear end in a top hat who needs to be punched in the face.

I know that often we are just protecting wealth and interests, but on some level we acknowledge the legitimacy of governments, and the fact that they are working to stabilize their countries and protect their people.

Between Chad and Nigeria is Boko haram. Next to them is Niger, these are the three countries to be working with if you want to tackle radical insurgency in central africa.

It's not all posturing, there are men and women in the military working drat hard to help people.

If he can see things like this and not be badly shaken he has nothing left inside him.

Edit: I have no doubt that he was able to say that “women were sacred” horse-poo poo without a second thought though.

Also, the only way to work with these countries is to send soldiers. Economic aid, or God forbid, trade policies that don’t gently caress Africa over is not the way to go here.

So Trump saying something incredibly thoughtless and rude to a fallen soldier's family equates to Democrats attacking him while using dead soldiers as cover?

Yeah that's about the usual Republican dialect I'd expect.

It contains cartoons and commentary for the years from 1964 to 1968. I can post a selection every Sunday.

A big problem is that these countries are often corrupt oligarchies. You send aid, and it all ends in the pockets of the local Beloved Leader's clan.

True. It’s a lot more complicated, though not without options like investments being tied to political demands. Not entirely different from the Iran agreement really. My point was more that the military isn’t always helpful, especially a white foreign military in a former colonial area. But yeah, obviously don’t give money straight to Mugabe and friends.

It is pretty pathetic what a sad sack General Kelly has become. I guess everyone was delusional when they thought he might actually be the voice of reason and civility inside the White House. Nope, just another Washington Insider that'll sell their soul for even the most meager table scraps of political capital.
