    "the middle east can't figure their shit out"

    —the civil western man after decades of colonization, coups, arming terrorists, assassinations, bombing, wars, torture, and otherwise meddling in the middle east.

    thank you so much for figuring shit out for yourself, o civilized man. please update us whenever you figure out how to do literally anything without massive exploitation. it's been a quarter millenium, we're waiting.

    Typical leftist misrepresenting the facts again.

    We are looking at like, 2+ centuries of western meddling in the middle east. At a bare minimum 75 years. not just a quarter century.

    I mean, the middle East was fine until y'all fuckers came in at the beginning of the 20th century and started taking people's countries. They were being giving to invaders like slices of pie, ya know.

    Ok then, every US citizen needs to get the fuck out of the country and give it back to the natives. The Jews lived in the middle east thousands of years ago, not 20 years ago. So, don't pull that shit on me.

    20 years ago. more like 80. So is that the line that makes finders keepers cool then? 80 years? Why 80? Will it be okay in 2 more decades? When DO property rights expire for civilizations?

    Or is this whole idea of "I was here first" BS to begin with? Nahhhhh... That can't be right. I mean, it's not like anyone fighting today was alive when Israel was re-founded but what does that matter?

    So because a few people who cover up their strive for power with bullshit ideologies that are tangential to religion you want everyone surrounding them, innocent civilians, to die - people who have been born into these countries, who cannot leave even if they were willing to sever the ties to their beloved ones and everything they knew, children, disabled people, you just want them to die alongside - because you are sick of reading about it on the news?

    Fuck you then.

    Religious zealots blowing each other up and I'm the bad guy because I think they are wrong for doing it. Got it.

    You're the bad guy for assuming because a couple of dozen people in power want to blow each other's civilians up and monger hate amongst their citizens everyone deserves to die. You're the asshole for wanting to arm them to the teeth so that they can finally blow each other up for good. Yes, that does indeed make you the bad guy.
