Man stop drinking the kool-aid. You're lapping up your countries propoganda left, right and center. Apparently according to you, art, science and the humanities wouldn't exist if not for the USA? Get out of here, this is hackernews not 4chan.
- whiddershins 7y agoIt’s hard to make art when your country is being torn to shreds by war. How much art was coming out of East Germany under the Soviet Union? What other nation is deterring constant military expansion of China and Russia? How many nations are confronting IS? You are either naive or destructive.
- pnako 7y agoIS was created after the US destroyed Iraq, based on false evidence (just like America invaded Afghanistan based on false reasons). The damage is done, but why persist? What do you expect to happen exactly? In fact Russia consolidated its influence and alliances in the middle east just by exploiting American mistakes there. Just leave. It would be a hugely popular move everywhere: among the left, the right, veterans, other countries, etc. So why not do it?
