It would be great if we could all work together to bring about a peace in Syria destroying both Isis and Assad regencies. Can't see that happening though. Things in Libya have deteriorated since our last intervention, having a large impact on this refugee crisis. I can't see how America or Russia intervention can improve the situation. Another game of my friends enemy is my enemy, such a successful strategy over the years

I know you rushed to get the jump with an I hate America thread, but your list is pretty bad..
Some of those conflicts occurred at the behest of tge UN, others we were asked to intervene, another an ally got us involved, another was to rescue American hostages.
Not saying we are squeaky clean, but we are not the root of all evil some of you like to portray us as.

You conveniently forgot to point out that the USSR was allied with Nazi Germany and assisted in invading Poland and occupying the Baltics. Or how escaped Nazis were given shelter in the Middle East, specifically Syria. Or the fact the USSR also brought out former Nazi scientists.
Do you guys do any research?
U.S. warns Russia on military buildup in Syria: What slimy hypocrites America is!
Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told German media on Saturday that he hoped Russia was not "banking on a prolongation of the Syrian civil war."
Steinmeier said there should be no more independent meddling in the Syrian conflict, which has killed more than 250,000 people since 2011 and led to a refugee crisis.
"A situation must not be created that renders joint action by the international community impossible," he told the Funke newspaper group.
Earlier this week, there were reports Russia might be sending servicemen and equipment to Syria as part of a military buildup to protect President Bashar al-Assad's regime. Steinmeier echoed concerns expressed earlier by NATO and the United States, saying he hoped Russia had "calculated the potential risks."
Any good guy surely would hate the US government.
But I almost hate as much many EU country's who are still blind sighted thinking when we follow the US everything will be great.
I guess people forgot in the US what war and hell is on their own soil.. or to busy with their own lives that they don't really care.. or feel they can't change anything anyways.
The US deserves this, sadly.. once an example for the globe now the most hated on this globe, how can that be?
