#OnThisDay Dec 28, 1835: The Second Seminole War begins when the Seminoles ambush and rout U.S. Army troops who were on their way to try to forcibly remove the Seminole from their land. #TodayInHistory
History shows that U.S. involvement does more to set sovereign nations back in time than forward.
The U.S. carried out decades of aggression against the Syrian government, supposedly in support of “democracy,” but this is a lie, and one that’s been used before.
In Libya, which once boasted the highest standard of living in Africa, U.S./NATO intervention reduced the country to chaos, undoing decades of development and progress.
These actions serve as grim reminders of what imperialist intervention truly entails.
