    Don’t get me wrong, I have a clue and know about much of the things you reference - for example the last 50 years of conflict with Iran was likely a direct result of our meddling in the 1950s.

    It’s just that there is no longer even the slightest effort to spin. As Trump bombs Iran, he’s raving about taking Cuba as his, he’s completely unhinged.

    Before him, we were no better or worse than all the other nations jostling for various levels of control. Now, we’re no better than Stalinist Russia or Nazi Germany.

    It is not the same.
