American colonialism and exceptionalism are tiresome. Enforce the Constitution.
10 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!
When the US did regime change in Libya to bring democracy, it led to slave markets being introduced.
With Iraq, the country collapsed and ISIS emerged as a destabilizing force.
In Afghanistan, trillions were spent only for the Taliban to return to power within days of the US withdrawal.
This isn't to say that what came before was a utopia.
It's to say that in all cases, US led regime change efforts and war leads to a worse outcome for the people of the country.
Even when it "succeeds" the new government becomes nothing more than a vassal of the US that caters to their every whim.
Not to mention:
The US typically introduces sanctions prior to intervention, which ends up impacting the most vulnerable in the country, while elites hoard the available resources.
It's a self-reinforcing process where the sanctions lead to the worsening conditions that "justify" intervention.
