You, like most socialists, clearly have no idea what fascism means. Israel is the only country in the region that protects the rights of gays, allows free speech and religion, proper elections.
What are talking about the communist thing wasn't true. Since its inception, the Soviet Union knew it wouldn't survive if it didn't expand. Trotsky and Stalin both knew that. Why bother with East Germany if it didn't have ambitions of expansion?
As for the CIA, I largely agree. These are the people who installed Saddam Hussein and bragged about it. Another mess the US army had to clean up and should have.
As for the size of the military, the deal with NATO is clear that they have to spend the amount they're spending. Unless you want to renege on the deal?
you can look through the massive amounts of open discrimination that goes on in the country, as well as the state of the palestinians who are oppressed by global superpowers (who would rightfully love to retaliate against the people who are making their living conditions among the worst in the world). no idea where you got the idea that they allow free speech and religion (though free speech is a meme anyways; it isn't a positive thing to have) or that they're the only ones who have "proper elections" in that region. it is true that stalin, lenin, and trotsky wanted to liberate the rest of the world in different ways (though i don't think that was actually stalin's goal considering that was his main point of contention with trotsky) but the notion that we had to spend billions of dollars on nuclear weapons and install fascist regimes in developing countries in order to save the world from communism is obviously a goofy remnant from those days. this isn't even mentioning things like, oh i don't know, the fucking vietnam war or the human rights atrocities in indonesia or any of the other examples of the cold war being bad that you could come up with. sure im down Jesus tapdancing Christ what a farce that paragraphy was. It's like debating someone who was dropped on their head as a baby.

fuckk ok edit: -really bad track record on lgbt rights -super conservative voting record -was a fucking troop lmao -believes in the russia shit -has some good points like being pretty big on environmentalism i get if some people here are to the point of where they feel they need to vote for the opposition by any means necessary but we aren't to that point yet. let this person's chances die in the primaries and if yall somehow fuck that one up again then do your thing in the big one. Afaik her voting record on lgbt rights is actually good, she just said some more than questionable stuff one and a half decades ago, probably due to being raised by a homophobic dad. Don't really see such a big issue there. I also don't see having been a soldier as necesarrily a purely bad thing, of course it indicates that you may have either a questionable ideology or that you are extremely naive (or both) but at least she knows where she sends those soliders, should she engage in any military conflict (which I assume will make her much less likely to do it). You should have brought up the good ol' torture instead which she firmly belives in (and in this case right now, not as a 20 y/o).
What I find refreshing about her is that she does awful stuff that doesn't really net you browny points anywere (like supporting the Hindu national party). She seems in that way more honest than other politicians and to believe in what she does but she also often seems pretty clueless.

No honey, how can you expect someone to run the country when she can't even manage to sort out her own skincare... She also looks like she may have a problem with split ends.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has got much better skin and hair...
This is the current problem with the Trump administration: Every day is a bad hair day.
