>"fought for what was right"
that's a double negative

>The key to understanding the former examples and knowing whether a double negative is intensive or negative is finding a verb between the two negatives. If a verb is present between the two, the latter negative becomes an intensifier which does not negate the former, contrary to popular perception thereof.
ie, nothing is the amplification of was not afraid
...was right and wasn't afraid (at all)

We've never thought for what was right. WWI, WWII, etc, were only because if the allies lost, our economy would be fucked.

We've literally been killing as many Muslims as we can.
Fuck you Brazil, why don't you do something for once.

America realized that everything they do would be cockblocked by the international community
so we just have the cia work from the shadows.
instead of fighting a country and having the UN try to charge us with crime we can just achieve the same goals by funding rebels to fight for us.

It never existed. The US was born from a civil war instigated by a clique of wealthy merchants who didn't want to pay taxes to the state that had invested a lot of money to make their business possible and it only went downhill from there.

Hard to tell now. If not WWI, things could be different.
Obama.
Not saying that his Realist idealism is entirely negative compared to the idealism of the neocons under Bush, but it certainly has its downs along with the ups, and his incapacity to shape and react quickly and decisively to the choices available is certainly not a point in his favor.

those taxes were because of the 7 years war
americans didn't want to pay taxes for some european blood feud that barely involved them
>>56076674
*increased tax or a foreign war in which they had no say and the housing of the army in private homes

The old USA disappeared once the Cold War started.
