"Don't do evil" Oh, wait...

  Defending one's own country is not evil, no matter how much money Qatar pours into Western social media influencers.

    It is when "defense" means invasion and subjugation of other countries. All countries pose their military operations as "defense." Inquiring minds should ask if a country surrounded on sides by two oceans with two pacified neighbors has any real threats or merely opportunities for cheap labor, market access, and mineral rights abroad. This has been going on for a very long time (read what Smedley Butler said in "War is a Racket"), but after the Iraq War, the credibility of the US should be somewhere in hell.

      It's not black and white. There is an entire spectrum of completely justifiable and extremely questionable uses of military power by the US.

      US did rename the Department of Defense to Department of War so not sure how much posing is left..

    I can't remember the US ever being in a position of defense, no matter how much AIPAC handlers blackmail Western politicians with Epsteins.

    > Defending one's own country is not evil What if the your country’s government is the biggest threat to it, though?

  Aiding the your nation is not evil, in fact its the opposite, its Good.

    Aiding Hegseth / The Heritage Foundation is not aiding the US. If anything, it's the exact opposite.
