Reply to comment by Prestigious_Cheek_52 in TIL Jimmy Carter signed the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, the single largest expansion of protected lands in history which more than doubled the size of the National Parks System by Guardax

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
