Bullshit.
The US is the defender of the US's interests. Not only is this true, but I can PROVE IT.
It's called the Powell Doctrine, made by Colin Powell.
Powell Doctrine - Wikipedia
- Is a vital national security interest threatened?
- Do we have a clear attainable objective?
- Have the risks and costs been fully and frankly analyzed?
- Have all other non-violent policy means been fully exhausted?
- Is there a plausible exit strategy to avoid endless entanglement?
- Have the consequences of our action been fully considered?
- Is the action supported by the American people?
- Do we have genuine broad international support?[2]
This is why the US will go to war, not because of other stuff.
1) Is National Security threatened? In Rwanda national security was not threatened. No war.
In Iraq national security, ie, OIL was threatened, war. Same in Libya, both are OPEC nations. Go figure. Afghanistan there was al Qaeda and other stuff potentially connected to profits in other Muslim countries.
Is action supported by the people. You can tell when the US wants to go to war, the media is full of pumping stories into people's heads. All these stories about how bad Iran is, but nothing about Saudi Arabia, oh, please.
The US is actually one of the biggest, if not THE biggest threat to global security in the world.
2002 there was the Coup d'etat against the democratically elected leader of Venezuela. Love democracy by getting rid of democratically elected leaders??? I mean, give me a break.
The US only goes in when its interests are at play, in the last 20 years that basically means OPEC or a few other side shows.
