lol they do this to Russia too. if you oppose US empire they are going to hire mercenary academics to decorate US attacks as progressive support for some oppressed group.

we even know what happens when the US' "commitment" to these people is tested---rebel Kurds in Syria & Iraq get hung the fuck out to dry by the Yankkkees when they don't serve US ends anymore despite decades of US media talking up how US invasions were supporting and had the support of the Kurds. and now their neighbors don't like them because the US came 'on their behalf'
