More I hear about him, more I am convinced he was way ahead of his time.

Jimmy Carter was a Cold War foreign policy hawk no different than Ronald Reagan or any of the other neo liberals and neo conservatives. At every turn he chose to arm and support far right regimes against leftist activists. He supported the Suharto regime commit genocide against the people of East Timor. He aided the Somoza Regime of Nicaragua. He aided the Mujahideen who would later go on to become parts of Al Qaeda and the Taliban. He supported Khmer Rouge of Cambodia. The list goes on and on.

Edit: Funny this gets so many downvotes but nobody can make excuses for Carter’s monstrous foreign policy
