The only thing that’s going to crumble are democratic norms and human rights in the United States.

Counterpoint: the Ba’athists in Iraq were also heavily backed by America, even though they were pan-Arab Socialists.

Support Ukraine in the war against Russia - or all wars are equally bad, only chickenhawks support wars?
