It's fucking nuts.
Not so long ago, the United States of America, along with the United Kingdom of Great Britain, invaded Iraq. If you'd like to check a map, you'll notice Iraq is a long fucking way from either of those countries. It was a country without a functional military after years of international sanctions designed to deprive them of one. They had no reason to do so, other than the personal religious fervour of their respective President and PM, as leaks years later showed in great detail.
The war and post-invasion chaos thanks to the complete lack of planning of any sort resulted in roughly five million people being displaced, mostly internationally, which resulted in following years in neighbouring states falling into war and chaos as a combination of drought, millions of refugees, and continuing fundamentalist hatred over the invasion of Iraq and following murder drone programs spawned violent internal rebellions that have spread from the resistance in Iraq.
The great western "peacekeepers" are now bombing those conflicts too, only can't seem to make up their mind exactly which side they're bombing. Ally Turkey rather likes to bomb anyone who starts to defeat DAESH. Ally Iran rather likes to bomb the Syrian government. DAESH keeps ending up with US manufactured and supplied weapons, via the CIA, but accidentally you understand, because you know, 's an accident, was only trying to support those other murderous religious fanatics that hate the west, in their quest to overthrow the local government and install 750 AD.
It is, you understand, not at all like Vietnam. That was randomly bombing innocent people to stop Communism, this is randomly bombing innocent people to stop Islamism. Totes different, m'kay.
But yeah, sure, look out, because the PM of Russia has an opinion of the French election, and China has a naval base in a neighbouring country that asked them to build one there.
Like, Putan's an autocratic asshole who panders to the orthodox church and hates on the Muslims too, totally thinks the Russian conquests of northern Persia of the 19th century should stick around, and is totally pissed at NATO breaking every single agreement they made with Russia around the end of the USSR, and so on. But at least he fucking drops bombs on the people everyone seems to agree needs bombs dropped on them, and not wedding parties and funerals targeting the families of "suspects", and supports the government of the place those bad people are fighting against. His actions do what he says he's doing, rather than the opposite of that, you might say.
In Ukraine, right on the border of Russia, there was a coup, and the US and Germany seemed to be rather supportive of that coup. Reasons again somewhat obscure. And those guys were Nazis, with murder squads and talk of genocidal wars against ethnic Russians and stuff. So the US and Germany helped install a Nazi government on the border of Russia, just recently. Obama and Merkel (the one who likes dismantling Greece because of traditional German racism), but man, that Putin, what is up with him, crazy guy, like he's all "you support Nazis over here, let's see how you fucking like it".
PC, SJW, anti-fascist, not being a dick, or working on it, he/him.
