Fucking twaffle. According to that idiot, not only were lefties responsible for the rise of Hitler, but those who opposed the British actions in the Boer War were somehow culpable for the rise of Afrikaner Nationalism and thus Apartheid. Gimme a break. Imperialist idiot.
Now, on to today's issue: It is pretty simple to peg the US as the aggressor in most of the post-WWII wars, battles and skirmishes that it has been involved in. It is equally easy to directly implicate its actions in the deaths of literally millions of people, the overthrowing of a number of legitimate governments, the ongoing support of imperialist oppressors, including the butchers in Israel, many decades' worth on unilateral decisions in areas far removed from its juristiction, atttempts (and a number of successes) on many foreign leaders' lives, any number of covert ops all over the world, just to mention a few things. This is who we are expected to side with? Pfft.
