Okay? The problems highlighted in the infographic have nothing to do with how much military spending was approved, and everything to do with when and more specifically, where it was used.
Would you be mad at republicans for approving more social service funding if Biden spent that money giving bailouts to corporations for “daycare”? (Purely hypothetical situation here)
So what are you saying? That American Imperialism is not the fault of America, but the fault of Republicans? Quite a convenient way to absolve yourself.
My main point is that American Imperialism, especially in Latin America, enjoys bipartisan support.
My main point is that historically, there has been one particular political group in the United States which consistently does the worst shit possible to the rest of the world. Not saying they’ve never done anything good, not saying that they are the only group that has ever done bad shit. I am saying that it’s a pretty big stretch to say “both sides are the same, just look at this map” and then have 11 of the 12 listed examples being perpetrated by one group, and the 1 example by the other group is disinfo/misinfo. I think it brings serious question into the validity of saying “both sides are the same” and the validity of the document overall.
Also, map was hard to read at a glance, when I said #8, I was referring to Honduras. I thought the numbers were a key of some sort, not a count of military interventions.

Both sides aren’t the same.
They are both corrupt, anti-labor, and pro-capital though.
