Sometimes a war is justified, and coming to the aid of an ally getting invaded is a damn good justification.

Especially if that ally is simply asking for more hardware and not asking for feet on the ground.

Edit: Fixed the link, it was broken for some reason though it worked earlier today. IDK this mirror should work though

I'm anti wars of aggression and anti imperialism, I condemn that shit when I see it and tell my representatives my opinions on the matter when they give theirs.

Though I do believe that investments in other developing countries in principle can be good if the terms of the investment are good, but it unfortunately can be pretty predatory if not done with care.

I'm (in general) pro wars of defense, countries defending themselves (and when necessary with help) is a good thing IMO.

I feel we should be building towards a better world for everyone which is apparently a controversial view among some people.

Ideally someday (probably a long way into the future) we can be a united humanity building for the better of mankind but damn do we have a lot of work to do.

In case it's unclear, I'm not calling you a shitlib, I'm saying that the people you're criticizing act like shitlibs (and frankly most of the time they are just shitlibs). General support of wars of defense is an anti-imperialist position
