but why put yourself in a false dichotomy?
There isn't one, the third option was to do nothing. But there wasn't a fourth option.
You can actually “prefer” none of what’s happening.
Being honest about doing bad things doesn’t make them less bad. Doing bad things covertly is still bad.
I'm not convinced that this is a good or bad thing yet
You’re not convinced that the US invading other countries and deposing presidents is bad? In a world where nuclear weapons exist?
It's an objectively fantastic thing when those presidents are doing things not in our interests.
We obviously haven't and won't do this to a nuclear-armed country.
What's the implication here, we're supposed to threaten to nuke them instead? It only works if you're willing to follow through.
Then your understanding of US foreign policy and what’s currently happening is too shallow.
