Some people don't think America landed on the moon and 9-11 was an inside job, too
All I'm saying is we aren't saints either. If anyone for a second doesn't think politicians in the west do shady things, they're extremely naive.
Also the "invading sovereign nations" high ground doesn't work when our biggest ally is the United States of America either(not that you said it, just a sentiment echoed by other posters)
