      Yeah, let’s also not forget a US regime change is why Iran has the government it does. We didn’t like it when their more secular government took control of their oil.

      And we murder transwomen for using a public restroom.

      Let’s please not forget that.

      We murder ours for not putting out, and our information about other parts of the world is largely curated by a fascist regime. Let’s please not forget that

        There doesn’t have to be a good guy in this story. It is perfectly plausible for this entire mess to be driven solely by villains while the innocents, who have no control over any of it, be its victims.

          That is pretty much true throughout all of history. You almost never have “good guys”; it’s usually “bad guys” versus “worse guys.”

          I kinda default to “underdog=good guy” in these situations. The people with trillions of dollars reaching across the globe to grub for more are typically in the wrong.
