Dictators are good when they steal resources from the people and share them with us.

Whether technically correct or not (as I don't know anything about this topic), what's going on right now is insane, and if weapons were being sold to baddies under Obama, that also sounds shitty. So seems like any time is a good time to reflect upon how much power USA's militarily-industrial complex possesses.

In any case, you guys need to do better.

Well this thread is ample proof on why you can't trust American "leftists"/"progressives"/etc.

The jingoism runs deep and there is no low they want drop to to defend their country and their golden idols.

You could just admit that Sanders can be wrong, but so many just chose to go "actually, he is not wrong, the US sometimes supports democracies instead of dictators."
