It was guerrilla warfare, so there was no government drafting soldiers and forcing them to fight.
Oh of course, I'm aware of all the groups that are fighting each other as well as firing off shots at us if they get the chance. The Sunni's hate the Shia's and Brad loves Jenny, but Johnny hates Sally, etc. It's all very interesting but none of it can or will be changed by a ridiculous Sesame Street show
The left loves to cozy up to tyrants because 'oppression has its charm.' We go into Iraq, maybe with some sketchy intel, but hey, at least we tried to drag them into the 21st century with democracy.
But nope, the liberals bailed before we could finish the job, leaving Iraq in a mess. Because apparently, it's better to live under a dictator than deal with the complexities of freedom. And now, Iraqis have the gall to say we never should've gone in - well, no duh, but they were part of the chorus cheering at first!
And for libtards in the US, it's not like they've ever been consistent. One minute they're for the war, the next they're against it, but always ready to criticize from their safe little bubbles. And don't get me started on how they romanticize life under fear and tyranny - because apparently, that's just 'cultural diversity.'"
Again, I've never defended going into Iraq in the first place, but regardless, we did and for the last time, a Sesame Street show won't help a tiny bit, that is just completely ridiculous.
We are one of the less generous countries with foreign aid, especially if you strip out the military aid.
Sure, let's talk about 'generosity' in terms of cold, hard cash because that's what matters, not some percentage crap. Here are the countries that outdo us in actual dollars:
United States: Yeah, we're the big spenders, but I guess that's not good enough for you.
Japan: They've been throwing money at development aid, but let's face it, it's peanuts compared to Uncle Sam's wallet.
Germany: They've got the cash to splash, but do they even come close to our aid budget? Nope.
United Kingdom: They used to be big on aid, but they're not touching our numbers.
So, no country gives more in actual dollar amounts than the U.S. The rest are just playing with Monopoly money. And those countries receiving aid? They're not doing the math to see who's more 'generous' by percentage; they're counting the dollars in their hands. That's reality, not your feel-good, liberal math.
A million is one millionth of a trillion. So for every dollar of a million, you would be spending a million dollars to get to a trillion. Or put another way, a million spread over 330 million people is about a third of a penny.
Your politics are as bad as your math, one million is a thousandth of a trillion. Your low intelligence aside, the money we're talking about buys a lot of tents and cots for illegal aliens to be housed while waiting for their trip back home.
Warren became a millionaire before entering politics. Buttigieg is not considered a millionaire by standard metrics, though he has made a million dollars from his book.
Forbes (web result from
2019) estimated his net worth at around $100,000.
Inspirationfeed.com and Valuewalk.com both estimate his net worth at
$250,000 for 2023.
Global Beauties (web result from 2025) claimed his net worth had
grown to $16 million as of 2024.
These estimates are not to my knowledge from politically motivated sources, but who really knows. I do however know that many, many politicians that have never produced anything have become quite wealthy while 'serving the people.' If you can't understand or acknowledge that, well I guess, that would be quite typical of drones as well.
Pocahontas is another similar story with the added fun of pointing out that many of her accomplishments relied on a lie about her Indian heritage.
Only if you use non-standard metrics for the second number... Which means lie.
You want to call it a lie, that makes perfect sense since libtards are quite famous for not understanding what a lie is or they're just plain deceitful. (very often the case)
