(62,325 posts)by his people. By the genocidal maniac in Uzbekistan who is also hated by his people and who gets millions from us. If the US listened only to the people, they would hear what the Egyptians, the Iraqis, the Tunisians, the Venezuelans the Colombians, the Chileans, the Afghanis, especially the women of Afghanistan.
We seem only to hear from the corrupt, greedy despots who care nothing for their countries but who enrich themselves by selling OUT their people for money from this country. And shamefully we provide them with whatever they want so long as they allow us to use their countries as we choose. As we saw in the Wikileaks cables, 'he's a bad guy, true, but he lets us place our military bases in his country'. And they know he tortures and kills his own people when they object to him selling out their country.
So no, 'they' meaning the people of all the countries we are interfering in, do NOT want us occupying their nations. But we always manage to find a few dictators who we support and keep in power, against the wishes of their people, to allow us to over ride the will of the people. That has been our history for decades, backing dictators and helping them to stay in power and turning a blind eye, or worse, helping them to oppress their own people.
Egyptians finally, after decades of trying, got rid of our ally, as Biden said 'he's a good friend and ally of the US' Yes, shamefully, willing to die, as over 800 of them did, and then made it clear they want all influences from the West out of their country. Of course we ignored that request and are backing the military there still.
