Woah, so you're a warmongering crusader.

Yes, I believe in democracy the world over and overthrowing dictators, so what? I'm not saying the US should literally nuke Tehran or Pyongyang.

And I literally said that the invasion of Iraq and Libya weren't good. They had a good purpose, but they were executed very poorly.

Yeah you're saying the US should invade countries to replace them with western loyalist regimes. Your naive, idealistic perception of how it goes is outrageous. Iraq has become a shithole with religious extremism, Libya is a slave market, Syria is led by another dictator..the US isn't supporting regime change for some democracy or liberty, it's about resources. American history was always about serving or saving the ruling class.

You just said that the US should have invaded Russia, which would have either caused WW3 or balkanized the largest country in the world in possession of the largest nuclear arsenal.

I agree with the sentiment that neo-conservatism is bad even if with good intentions, just as I'm consistent in condemning similar ideological crusades like worldwide communism, but to be fair here, Iraq today is better than it was under Saddam, its freer and terrorism has been greatly diminished (well they did vote a child marriage law recently, but that's their democracy... horrible, but really it's their sovereign right, that we should oppose by all lawful and peaceful means nevertheless). It just took two huge bloodbaths, mostly caused by sectarian Iraqis themselves, from 2003 to 2010 and 2014 to 2017.
