Do you have some specific examples? I have no idea what you are talking about.


view as:

You are unaware of the propaganda campaigns that precede military engagements (most recently Iraq & Syria)? I find it hard to believe.

The mis/disinformation is distributed across most English media when enough interests are aligned.


All wars come with propaganda, from all sides. Iraq was questionable, Syria appears to be mostly a civil war with some foreign powers meddling. I don't think you can reasonably assume that all would be well in those regions without foreign interference.

Only a small specific group of people on this planet have stolen enough and are perversely incentivized to engage in forever wars. Both sidesing this issue is silly.

>I don't think you can reasonably assume that all would be well in those regions without foreign interference.

1-2 million innocent civilians would be alive and millions of refugees would be home. Objectively better than the current state.


Humans have always warred, your claim of "only a small specific group" is completely false.

"1-2 million innocent civilians would be alive and millions of refugees would be home."

How do you know there would have been no war without foreign interference? And people are being murdered and displaced by their fellow countrymen, not simply by foreign powers.


>Only a small specific group of people on this planet have stolen enough and are perversely incentivized to engage in forever wars. Both sidesing this issue is silly.

100% true and I qualified that statement. Re-read it perhaps.
