What you may or may not believe really isn’t important to the issue here. The historical facts are out there to support my claim, it’s not hard to find for those who have the desire to actually learn something.

Your comments are simply naive. We have interfered in other countries affairs( including elections) routinely. When it happens to us ( if the intel agencies aren’t lying throught their teeth), it’s treated as a crime against nature. This country has supported “murderous dictator”(s) routinely when they serve it’s interests.  We have a military budget that's probably ten times larger than it needs to be given the fact that we have a massive nuclear arsenal and two huge oceans between us and peer competitors. It’s tiresome to have to continually point this out. To my mind, the only thing that truly matters is that nations armed to the nuclear teeth find a way to get along and to realize that to do otherwise is simply madness. I’m done here.
