You must be confused. The Luftwaffe didn't start out bombing cities because of Hitler's order, until the British started bombing German cities in retaliation for an accidental bombing of London.
I obviously know that the British arguably "started it", but so what? Hitler was quick to normalize the bombing of civilians against the UK for the rest of the war. He escalated it and went open season with it very quickly. Hitler had also previously been more than happy to bomb civilians in Poland. So even though the war started with a slight taboo against it, that quickly disappeared and remained disappeared for the remainder of the war.
Do you know what 'pretense' means? So it was not the norm.
If abortion is banned except in case of rape, and yet 1 million abortions happen per year because every girl who wants one just says "I wuz raepd", then it is both a pretense as well as the norm.
Didn't you send the troops into Iraq without sufficient body armor?
No, that's more propaganda.
But that's not to condemn it, it's a challenge. Make it better instead of just shilling for everything it does like you do.
Shitting on the Right and attacking it as a whole does not make it better. Feel free to attack point targets like Mitt Romney or anyone else on the Right who betrays Right wing values. Do not attack the Right as a whole and pretend you're trying to make it better. All you're doing is demoralizing, like a baby who screams because he wants his bottle.
Yes, to prevent any regional or global hegemon from arising, so that you remain top dog.
Normally the top dog reaps huge selfish benefits. The US does not. We are the 1st thankless hegemon. We let everyone else freeload off of our money and blood.
It's funny though, you gorge yourself on all your neighbors, and when you're satisfied, you kick the ladder down and say: alright, alright, now no one else gets to do what we did.
Mexico started the war. Texas revolted, won, became independent, and then joined the US voluntarily. The Mexicans were butt hurt about losing and wanted revenge. "On April 25, 1846, a 2,000-man Mexican cavalry detachment attacked a 70-man U.S. patrol commanded by Captain Seth Thornton, which had been sent into the contested territory north of the Rio Grande and south of the Nueces River. In the Thornton Affair, the Mexican cavalry routed the patrol, killing 11 American soldiers and capturing 52. A few days after the Thornton Affair, the Siege of Fort Texas began on May 3, 1846. Mexican artillery at Matamoros opened fire on Fort Texas."
The Mexicans sowed the wind by bullying a small unit, and then they reaped the motherfucking whirlwind with the US Marines taking Mexico City.
Nothing like that, of course, happened in Ukraine. It is a war of naked aggression by Putin.
