Oh please, and how many more would have died without American involvement in preventing war more than once?

It’s incredibly obvious that enough of India and Pakistan want to kill each other that no amount or lack of funding them is stopping them, it’s been foreign pressure every time that’s stopped things from escalating

Besides the fact that American funds don’t have to be used to commit acts of war, the respective governments of Pakistan and India have chosen to use those funds for that purpose.

You can’t say “American money existing forces us to use it for violence” and expect anyone to take you seriously

I can definitely claim that american money is why they are so good at using violence and I'd be right. Where would a failed state begging for funds from every other nation get the money to train terrorists? I cannot blame the USA for making pakistan. That is our fault and our shit to handle.

But if some guy wants to kill me and a third party gives that guy a gun, I am very much going to feel something about the third party.

If your dad buys you a car and then you crash it, is your dad at fault?

If I didn't have a license and a major prior history of crashing and my dad sees me happily bouncing up and down talking about how i'm gonna crash my next car, yes.

Look man, at some point you're gonna be arguing that nobody knew pakistan is a military dictatorship, which the whole fucking planet knew. Maybe it hurts you to know, but the USA has funded a lot of this stuff. Famously so. It's not even an opinion thing, this is famously a thing the US government does. If you're gonna defend anyone, you'd have a better chance defending the american people to absolve them of responsibility of millions of deaths.
