Look, he was a brutal dictator. His elections were a farce, and he brutally cracked down on anyone who opposed him.
I was excited to see him taken down. It's an objectively good thing that he's no longer in power.
The problem is, whenever we do this kind of regime change, the puppet government we replace him with proves powerless (or unwilling) to stop the rise of terrorists and criminals that truly take over the country.
Chaos and destabilization ensue, which often leads to people fleeing to the US and other countries as refugees in even greater numbers.
Over time, we discover that the reasons we were told that removing him was necessary were exaggerations and outright lies, and that the real reasons had more to do with access to oil, toppling a government that wasn't part of the petrodollar system, and expanding global domination.
We also discover that our own intelligence and enforcement agencies helped give rise to the terrorists and criminals who took over on the streets. Blowback from that in the future is all but assured.
If we put boots on the ground, we're now risking the lives of our loved ones, not to mention all the innocent civilians who will die. All over something we should've never stuck our noses into.
The American taxpayer gets stuck with the bill, and the only people who truly benefit are oil companies, defense contractors, and central bankers.
And that's why I was wrong to support the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003.
Picture unrelated.
@SpikeEskin Actually was looking at his wingspan and it makes sense why he decided to switch his shot to more of a big man.
He gets less movement from his arms, which makes his shot faster, he jumps less, and it helps with his catch and shoot since brunson usually has the ball.
@KingRichard Does it really matter? Everyone picked sides the second the news dropped, the entire situation is disingenuous.
Even if there was proof from either side of the argument, no one actually cares, they're picking a side so they can fit in.
@Bighugh53 I feel like when basketball players say things like that, they mean skill positions, maybe corner.
You need a certain amount of physique to play everything else.
@JonMarksMedia Triple double with 5 blocks brother. He made up for it and kind of proved euro john right as much as I Hate to admit it. The turnovers were killer, but he's improving on the job.
@scarahvous@6RAFFITl@wydcayland@luvunaluv Projection, into defense of who you projected on to, while having the same amount of information as I have.
You should grow up to.
