@astroehlein Yes, we heard it when the Arab Spring brought down authoritarian regimes. Timing is important.

@DanaRohrabacher And US reputation in that region still suffers because of it. No sense making the same mistake in Central Asia too. -
@astroehlein U assume well financed Rad Islamic Insurgencies will not come to power when tough guys replaced in Central Asia. -
@DanaRohrabacher No, I'm saying that the US boosting these authoritarians helps radical recruiters, which makes that outcome more likely. -
@astroehlein that was true when communism enemy. Radical Islam recruits, oppose freedom,believe God wants them to be violent & repressive -
@DanaRohrabacher As opposed to a regime that is simply violent and repressive without an ideology? -
@astroehlein Appreciate a thoughtful challenge, basically I believe repression in Russia exaggerated & Rad Islamic terror discounted
