Actually it was called the Iran-Contra Affair.
Reagan also won on “sealing the border”
… only to provide amnesty for those illegally here in the USA.
One more tired example of the USAs BoTh PaRtIeS shit show, where every campaign promise is automatically never, ever going to happen.
Bush won with “no new taxes”, made new taxes.
Clinton won with “universal healthcare”, no universal healthcare.
Bush Two won with “enough government spending”, spending was phenomenal
Obama won with “end the endless wars”, endless wars.
Trump won on “build the wall”, no wall.
Biden won on “15 an hour”, $7.25 an hour.
Trump won on “no war”, war.
Sadly, every generation is as full of suckers as the generation before, there are always enough that fall for the puppet show
Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every. Word.
Every word uttered by Republicans and Democrats in US politics is deception or manipulation. Every. Word.
can’t they do anything honest over there?
watched Ollie North take the blame on TV.
Im smart enough to understand history and what the US and Britain did to Mossaddegh and Iran.
This was all caused by imperialistic ambitions by western powers and 80 years later nobody remembers who caused what.
The US has been a terrorist state since its inception.
Ollie North!
I think the phrases “illegal war” and “war crimes” are redundant. WTF is a “legal” war?
Something that Ukraine is doing
“War I’ve been told to support is legal, other wars are illegal (we don’t talk about morals here because I’m American and morality is decorative at best, but usually shunned as weakness).”
One with a formal declaration and a stated goal.
And then they made a video game about the guerilla warfare in Nicaragua and everybody was like “hell yeah”
/s if not obvious.
Don’t forget, Iran was a democratic nation in the early 1950s until America fucked it up for corporate profits. We created the conditions that brought about the Iran regime to capitulate to corporate interests.
And now even the US is up to being couped, in a “constitutional” manner. (Fidesz’es rise to power is often being called a “constitutional coup” by some scholars.)
at the behest of the UK too.
Highly recommend reading this book for more details on American interference in sovereign nations to protect corporate interests: https://ia600507.us.archive.org/0/items/ConfessionsOfAnEconomicHitman_257/JohnPerkins-ConfessionsOfAnEconomicHitman.pdf
whoa, direct to .pdf link, very nice, thank you. seconded your recommendation
So republicans have been worthless corrupt shit for as long as I’ve been alive…
Every president and the majority of senators and representatives for as long as I have lived.
Even longer
Killer Mike - Reagan
"Did Reagan give the orders? Did cocaine pay the bills?
They said we’s fighting communists, it was kinda hard to tell"
He was an empty suit that could read very well off a teleprompter
You know the Iranians were the other major user of the F-14, right?
Hard to argue with vote blue no matter who if you look at every republican president
Obama had record bombings, Biden sucked Bibi’s dick, and that’s just recently. You don’t want a solution to American imperialism, you don’t care, you just don’t wanna look as ugly as the Reds make America look (who are monsters but at least they’re honest about it).
I’m not an American, I am from Europe and need to deal with the consequences of your dumb actions and electing the orange turd for the second time because you’re too naive and self-righteous to vote for the lesser evil.
Biden sucked Bibi’s dick. Turd wants to make a golf course instead of Palestine. Get fucking real.
I hope you like fetterman
You mean the guy who underwent a personality change after experiencing a serious stroke?
Fetterman is proof that the only way to understand republican mentality is to have a stroke and shut half your brain off
^ This guy thinks Dr. Oz would have been better btw.
Both are grifters, one was more honest.
He’s running for president, huh?
That’s news to me
