That is another example I love to use with liberals......how did they feel when Reagan armed the Contras? They wanted his head on a platter.
This is far, far worse because Americans are dying as a result.
I can see the comparison you’re making to make a point to a lib but the Contras were a political rebellion not a criminal syndicate so, yes, this is far worse. Of course a lib would not care about that distinction. Gotta keep it simple for them.
