If you get you are unaware that the United States has meddled in the sovereignty of more nations than any other country in the last 80 years then you should reconsider your political views.

If you are unaware that the United States spends more money on defense than the next five largest military spenders combined, you may want to reconsider your political views.

If you think that Iran is more of a threat to the United States than Korea or Pakistan then you should reconsider your political views.

If you think that Israel is in the defensive position and not Iran then you might want to check your pulse to see if you are alive, then check your face in the mirror to see if you are sober enough to actually think.


Realize that if you have not put an effort into researching a given topic then you probably know only superficial knowledge about it. Those accepting of superficial knowledge are easily deceived.
