You should have stated at the onset that your [deleted] post was specifically about the United States of America.
Look, I'm not familiar with people and organisations, including those you mentioned, within that particular crazy and insignificant country. I understand that Americans are crazy, perhaps due to certain mineral deposits or mushrooms in their soil - that has nothing to do with some of them incidentally happening to also be Jewish.
So I will leave the fact-check for others who may be more interested in that part of the world, but it was wrong of you to blame "Jews" in general for what happens within that particular crazy country, intimidating Jews around the world who have nothing to do with that specific country and probably, like myself, don't even know about whatever goes or doesn't go on in there.
Actually, what is your particular interest in that country? Do you have relatives there?
Speaking of the CIA, I also am offended when every time before I, here in Australia, can watch a Hindu religious DVD, made in India and having nothing to do with America, must wait for that ugly, irreligious and intimidating CIA notice to go away - I can only be happy that now under Trump America's bad influence over the world will diminish.
As for Netanyahu's wars, they are not decided in America, only by Netanyahu himself according to his personal and family needs. He would do exactly the same with or without American aid or approval, the only difference being in the number of Israeli soldiers killed and wounded in the process.
You also mentioned Ukraine, actually why?
Anyway, I don't side with any megalomaniac tyrants and their far-too-big countries in whatever continent, but with the little ones trodden under them.
And well, perhaps unlike yourself, I DO care about principles.
«Do you think democracy should be managed in a way where the people can't decide things for themselves if it means the people make poor choices?»
Definitely not: that wouldn't be a democracy at all.
But why did you ask?
