Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Even if there’s a change in regime, the likelihood that it will be for the better is slim. The crazy dictator will just be replaced with some other crazy dictator.

Iirc, the crazy dictator they've got is already a result of foreign interference in the first place. I might be thinking of Pakistan, or maybe it's both.

Maybe you're thinking of Libia, or was it Iraq? Wow this happens so often it's hard to keep track of it all.

They don't have a plan. This cut the head of the snake strategy never works. It hasn't worked on stopping organised crime or terrorist groups. When you murder someone they are rarely replaced by someone more moderate.
