U.S. imperialism chitchat corner.

That's the thing though Russia, China the middle East and Africa are all well aware of what the US are up to.

People say Russia, China, Iran and everyone else not part of the west are all just brainwashed and can't see how bad their government, intelligence services and their countries in general are. The thing is though those countries think the exact same thing about us. It's very hard to decipher what's really going on in the world.

The Yemen situation is a policy of Saudi Arabia.

You seem to overlook how and on what conditions the United States secured the oil from Saudi Arabia when Roosevelt met with the Saudi King on the Suez after WW2.

The arrangement was simple. "You get the oil, we get our faith and you don't interfere". Until the first Iraq war of course when the Saudi's were terrified of invasion and requested assistance but that's nether here nor there.

That was the deal then, it's the deal today.

It's for Saudi Arabia to run it's country as it sees fit.

You can't complain about US interference on the one hand and then complain about the lack of interference on the other.

Which is it?

What lack of interference am I complaining about? You didn't answer the question I asked at all. You claimed the people of Ireland should be thankful to the US for their endeavours in the Middle East, I'm not thankful one bit for the invasion of Iraq or the destruction of Libya in Africa.

The US supported the Saudi led coalition in Yemen, under first the Obama and then the Trump administration, the United States was Saudi Arabia’s partner in this horrific war. Biden announced last February the US was ending it's support for Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen, six years into the conflict that has killed around 230,000 people and triggered the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, although they haven't stopped it's all just rhetoric to save face and distance themselves from the worst humanitarian situation in the world.

You never answered the question why should I or the people of Ireland be thankful for all of this like you claimed we should be? You are absolutely deluded from American propaganda and Hollywood movies. This isn't a GI JOE movie this is real life that is destroying people's lives on a scale far beyond anything your worst enemies Putin or Xi Jinping are doing.

What would you like the US to do? It's a policy of Saudi Arabia in Yemen, not the United States.

So, what would you like them to do?

You say correctly the Saudi's do terrible things in Yemen. So presumably you support some sort of interference, right?

So why is it ok to interfere in Saudi business because they do terrible things, but not in Iraq given the terrible things Saddam had done to his own people?

You either want interference or you don't.

You are trying to have it both ways.

Again I ask you what would you like the US to do?

You are speaking about the crisis in Yemen. The US does not actively support the situation in Yemen.

What do you want them to do about it?

You have tied yourself in knots now because if you say you want them to do nothing - then do you really care?

If you say they should interfere that makes you a hypocrite in relation to Iraq.

So you either don't really care or you're a hypocrite, right? You want interference but you don't want interference.

Can you not see how these things a lot more complex than portrayed?

You won't answer the question.

What do you want the US to do about it?

You want them to interfere? Smack the Saudis around a bit? Bang a fist on a table in front of the King?

You don't want them to interfere? Then it just goes on.

Do you not see how each option makes your arguments look empty and facile?

This is what happens with simplistic opinions on complex situations. No solutions.

You're not making any sense, what do I want them to do about it? A Saudi-led and US-backed coalition intervened in Yemen in 2015.

Well for a start I would have not wanted them to have backed the coalition and not provided the Saudis with logistical and intelligence support as well as billions of dollars worth of weaponry for the Saudis to go and ruthlessly bomb thousands of innocent men, women and children helping the Saudis cause the worst humanitarian situation in the world. Does that answer your question? Apparently the US has stopped supporting the Saudi led coalition less than a year ago but this is just rhetoric, they are still providing them with weapons and intelligence, you are failing to understand that the US have supported the war in Yemen, they were partners with Saudi Arabia in this war up until last year.

I don't think you understand or have any clue what has been going on in Yemen for the last several years, you have still not answered my question how have US endeavours in the Middle East fought for the freedom of the people of Ireland like you claimed?

You won't answer the question because it makes you look ridiculous.

I'm not wasting my time. I have my answer. You're a hypocrite.

Good night to you sir.

This is great, now we can discuss America's interference in Eastern Europe on two threads! 😆

Nice try OP.

Anyway the point is the USA has caused far more destruction and terror around the world than Russia has in the last 20 years, despite the consensus over the last few years that Putin is the bad guy this is not believed in many parts of Africa, the Middle East, China, Russia etc

Whether that's directly through their illegal invasion of Iraq, their destruction of Libya or through being a partner with Saudi Arabia in their war in Yemen that has caused the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.
