I'm no American jingoist, but blaming everything on America is also ridiculous. There are other actors in the world with their own motives. America as boogeyman is not much better than right-winger who believe the 'deep state' is trying to bring Trump down. Much of the time it's projection and distraction to not have to face up to your own shortcomings.
I'm all for accurate analysis and the US has been a huge contributor to many problems around the world, but acting as if everything that happens in the world is just response to moves by America is an irrational position to take.
- cjslep 9y agoI agree with you. So I don't know who you are arguing against. Perhaps an accidental strawman? Edit: I'm only talking about their drive towards nuclear weapons, not any other aspects of the regieme (starvation, kidnapping, torture, killings, etc). How they go about their goals is all their own damn fault.
