    I learned something new today thank you and yes this was indeed a good faith question. As US citizen, I want to understand my fellow (wo)man even on the other side of the world.

      I’m also American, but I appreciate it. Frankly, a lot of it also just comes from being burned out by 20 years of Afghanistan, which made me skeptical of mainstream narratives and interventionism. A lot of what we were told about the wars in the Middle East were lies, and we have the same politicians and same media figures, none of them faced any consequences, so I’m more open to considering other narratives than I might otherwise be.
