Yeah, and I’m saying that since we got so much practice at it in South America when we were drunk on the Cold War, maybe it’s time to put those skills to use against an actual goddamn adversary which is posing a clear and present danger to us and large swaths of the world instead of sCaRy sOCiALiSt eLEctEd GovErNmEntS
