The mujahideen (remember them?) were our partners once, we employed them to fight the USSR. Osama bin Laden was "our man." When we abandoned them, they turned on us and became Islamic terrorists of different stripes.
Many other such stories abound. Hungary, 1956, comes to mind. We encouraged the Magyars to revolt, implying aid. Foolish Hungarians believing all that stuff on the radio. Was just words.
Today, it is the Kurds who learn about American fecklessness as Turkey bombs and strafes our former "ally." As Bob Marley said, 'who feels it knows it mon.'
Hey hey USA.
Things is: in the realm of karma, what goes around comes around....And that can be a real bitch.
