    "we realised....we live in the fucking Middle East"

    Correction, you realized the country you chose to occupy is in the Middle East; maybe occupy a country much closer to your guard dog America next time (or maybe just don't occupy someone's country at all; just a thought).

    I too have problems in the home I invaded; I thought I invaded a home in Venice, turns out I invaded a home in Africa and all the people who suffered occupation and colonization for over a hundred years weren't happy a new occupier was settling in and eradicating their neighbors. Clearly they're the problem.

    Seriously, does this person think if they'd occupied Tuscany and started slaughtering all the Italian people that neighboring countries would shrug their shoulders and/or cheer them on? Do they think if their Tuscany based government attacked neighboring countries in Europe that those countries would be like "yes daddy, strike me more"

    EDIT: Just went to this twitter page and realized actually this person is quoting something and this isn't his thoughts (clearly, given the posts he's making)

      If Tuscany were openly backed by the US, yes the europeans would in their feverish desire to worship america

            Uhh... fine let me explain the joke: Islam creates a pretty strong comradery between Islamic nations. You fuck with one Islamic country they are way more likely to support their brethren against the infidels.

            So the equivalent would be fundamentalist Christianity to replicate that response against say evangelical invaders that attack catholic Tuscany. Of course western ideology is only about the money now (including Roe v. Wade in a roundabout way).
