    Just one of many, many contradictions of US capitalist society that damn near everyone here believes "the US shouldn't be the world police" and that we shouldn't interfere in other countries in general. But when you ask those same people if we should intervene in any specific country for specific reasons i.e. should we "assist" Nicaragua in "fighting corruption" or sanction Venezuela because Maduro bad, the same people almost always say "yes".

        Everyone of my conservative relatives says this shit. They also are up for bombing or overthrowing whatever country the media works them up about. The parent is completely correct.

      should we “assist” Nicaragua

      The implication is always that we'll be "advising" and not "shadow puppetering in between special forces incursions"
