If the US stayed out of other countries politics and there were no coups or installation of people favorable to the US what would the world look like? (lemmy.world)

You should watch it and find out for yourself.

I will, but this is an 8 hour series.

[–] blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I know, I watched it all.

Any chance you'd be willing to provide answers to any of my questions based on what you saw?

Your questions aren’t really questions now are they?

Did they also go into mass atrocities committed and initiated by the US?

Not OP, didn’t watch the series. This is the kind of question you could answer by watching and if you aren’t interested in watching unsure why you’d ask.

If you go around lighting fires and then come back around to put them out after donning an official uniform, should others consider you a fire fighter or an arsonist?

I guess if we’re talking about this literal situation, you’d be both? Is this what you claim is happening?

Is there a single instance covered that wasn't a situation the US directly and purposely had a hand in creating?

They mentioned the Rwandan genocide. Do you consider the Rwandan genocide to be one of those “fires” that the US “lit”?

Do you have any non-rhetorical questions on the topic?
