      We’ll back just about anybody if we think they’ll point a gun at someone we like even less. The US was a staunch supporter of Cuban Socialist Revolutionaries back when it was a Spanish colony. And we were ready to break bread with Joey fucking Stalin right up until FDR’s brain imploded and Truman took the reins.

      The United States will help anyone when it fucks over our enemies, we went from hating the charlies to being an ally of Vietnam real fucking quick once the Soviets were out of the picture and China took their place.
