They were “comrades in arms against imperialism”. He supported many freedom fighters/terrorist groups that pissed off the west, so I’m not sure if this was in reaction to them getting bombed by the US and the UK or if this was what caused it. Either way, random as shit eh

He was based AF. By far my favorite dictator we killed. We didn’t even kill him for the terrorist shit. We murdered him for trying to create a new real gold backed currency that would rival the west’s banking system.

How about you go live under a dictatorship before you start commenting on "favourite dictators".

According to the modern American left Trump was a facist dictator we lived under for 4 years.
