theres only one difference between American republicans and democrats. Republicans happy enough to let shia militias do their work, whether there is russian/iranian backing as proxies is by the by, as long as sunnis are forced to be counter-revolutionary at the point of chemical weapons.
Democrats want to do the dirty work themselves by invading on democratic grounds.
if I was an average muslim American I'd vote republican in 2020, better our own devils than those yanks trying to still delude people whilst their genocide machine is never satisfied with enough blood.
Fortunately though, i am not, and hence completely abstained from the referendum in 2016.
