henlo just a ~reminder~ that western countries such as the US and UK benefit off of the instability in the middle east and are KNOWN for going into middle eastern countries not to ~spread democracy~ but to cause turmoil. 

don’t forget that the US had a hand in creating the Mujahideen in order to spy on Russia during the cold war, later turning into al qaeda. dont forget that the US government replaced the democratically elected prime minister of iran (the 1953 coup), placing the shah in power, which then spurred the “islamic revolution” of the 1970s, leading to the government that is now in place. all because the prime minister wanted to nationalize iranian oil. dont forget that the iraq war wasnt about ~spreading democracy~ or ~weapons of mass destruction~ or even sadam hussein but because iraq wanted to nationalize their oil. 

the instability in the middle east was created by the United States and other Western countries, and now they’re furthering that instability.

so the us, uk, and french missiles are NOT surprising. trump sending missiles into syria is what EVERY western country has done to the middle east since the 90s and early 2000s. its NOT surprising to see so many praise trump for ~his actions against assad~ when domestic militarization (aka using the excuse of “theyre killing women and children so we MUST fight back !1!”) is a trend in american politics.

i LITERALLy was asked what i thought trump was going to do syria on TUESDAY and i LITERALLY said that he was going to bomb the country

its a cycle that many western media outlets and many white americans REFUSE to acknowledge. and im TIREDT
