You are more right than not. I would say after the Bush1&2/Cheney/Rusmfeld era, those sick fuks paved the way for more death and destruction than most can possibly imagine.

Its hard to see outside the military kinetic paradigm, but their evil shit extends FAR FAR beyond war in the middle east. Enabling the drug trade (destroying millions of lives here and practically all of South America), Child/Human trafficking, the deep/administrative state, indirect assaults on Black America (Cheney is hyper-racist). Thats just a small list.

I despise Cheney more than the Clintons or Obama. He is truly evil incarnate.
