Implying we are totally leaving Afghanistan and not keeping advisors or PMCs there. In 2019 more private mercs were killed than US troops. Easy and cheaper to do that and they don’t follow the same “rules” the military has to.
Decentralizing responsibility for crimes against humanity across free market participants. The invisible hand distributing blame in the manner most beneficial to capital.
Imagine thinking US troops are a positive in any situation whatsoever
Honestly, they mostly got in the way every place they hit the ground, save a few pacific islands. Nice trucks and oil tho
And honestly the world world have been a better place if they'd stayed out of Europe.
The Comintern was already winning, all the US did was save capitalism.
Hard to argue they didn't do good things in the Pacific though. Amerikkka bad and all but holy shit the Japanese Empire somehow managed to be so much worse.
US flat out interfered in Italian postwar elections altering the outcome which was just about to elect communists, started a civil war in Greece, and France was a very near run.
It is clear that the false sentiment that the US is good and have good intention is so deeply installed in the west that it is inherent to most.
in psychology, when a bad thing happens it is referred to as positive punishment
You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now is happening now.
How much do you want to bet that "doing a lot of research" means he read some wikipedia pages and articles written by neocons?
Yo, I read this WaPo op-ed by Hawk McWarmongerson III, he made some really good points, not gonna lie
I'm always flabbergasted by these idiots. I know I shouldn't be, but if you're looking enough into the situation to come up with the conclusion that it would be BAD RIGHT NOW, why not dig deeper into why that's the case?
There is absolutely no good outcome here because the US had zero interest in developing Afghanistan into that shining Democracy™️ we were all promised. When the major withdrawal in 2015 took place, what also went with it was something like 40-50% of Afghanistan's GDP. A trillion dollars spent, and the economy was only marginally better than under the Taliban. It was all bullshit military contractor pork that continues to feed private paramilitary ghouls to this day, even as the final "withdrawal" is taking place.
It sucked before the war, it was horrific during the war, and it will be horrific going forward as it gets downgraded to a "conflict." Just a tremendous failure all around, dating back decades. Everyone involved in that invasion deserves nothing less than the wall.
Failure? Ah, but winning the war was never the goal in the first place. Consider what happened as a win, and then evaluate who won.
Twitter users stop calling everyone who makes youtube videos Breadtube challenge 2021
Dude was a baby when 9/11 happened, but yeah, we haven't been there too long at all.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this guy like... a libertarian debatebro? Not exactly a breadtuber afaik
He's probably a self-proclaimed anarchist. Going off of the obnoxious videos Youtube used to recommend me, he's a former alt-righter who turned towards breadtube while still being 97% liberal. So he fits right in with Breadtube.
That's crazy because we've been there for almost as long as I am able to recall conscious memories, and I think we should leave.
Here me out though Afghanistan is the Afghani's personal responsibility and they can't keep expecting America to bail them out of things anymore with expensive death machines
not that "breadtube" ever meant anything, but not anyone who goes "maybe some healthcare would be nice" is a breadtuber or indeed a leftist
