I'll take that argument.
The Contras and the Mujahadin in Afghanistan were groups we aided in response to Soviet backed, and Soviet invasion. You cannot ignore the COLD WAR. The Soviets had their "freedom fighters" and we ours. The United States never acted in a vacuum until 2016. After WWII, we wanted to hang it all up again as we did after WWI. But the Soviets expanded their territory, and were actively working to overthrow countries around the world. This is not propaganda, they admitted it, and documented it. Even when there was an anti-western conflict they didn't initiate, they found ways to assist (financial, logistics, weapons, training via proxies). The US, UK, France, Belgium, and other countries did the same.
That was the game. The claim that the US is a larger sponsor of terrorism is lie.
And why can't we help the Kurds? All the bitching about Palestine, but Kurdistan doesn't count? Why is that? If it wasn't for the Cold War forcing us to get in bed with Turkey, Kurdistan would be a thing today.
