      Do you purposefully include “their neighbor” because you know your statements would apply the the US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan otherwise? Is invading a neighboring country somehow worse than invading one on the other side of the world?

        Where did I say I’m American and support the US foreign policy? Have you actually ever talked to someone from Iraq? Because I’m sitting next to one right now who had to leave when the US started bombing Bagdad. I also have another colleague from Ukraine who left in 2014… Guess why :)

          You’re supporting US foreign policy by repeating pro-NATO talking points.

          I also have another colleague from Ukraine who left in 2014… Guess why

          The US backed coup led by militant fascists? The new government’s violent response to people of the Donbass wanting to secede?

      This is just pattently untrue, there are boarder skermishes arround the world, and the nation with the most active conflicts in the world at any moment is the United States.
