Nestor_Cortes 09/04/21 2:25:18 PM #17:	9/11 was already after we had mobilized troops in the middle east. We were meddling there since the 70s, and turned it up a few notches with the Gulf War. So again, a few innocent US lives were being endangered in the middle east prior to 9/11. The solution was to not keep bombing the fuck out of them and ransacking towns with our troops. It only made the problem worse, for obvious reasons. And uh, we barely do anything about domestic terrorism. We literally almost had an entire overthrown government on January 6th and nobody will be held accountable. <cite>Nestor_Cortes posted [p:957732364] in What is yo...

According to you, we should start mobilizing our troops and go to war with all of them. The thing is, the government won't because it isn't in their economic bests interests. The middle east was.

Is it because at bottom, there's just no real belief in that part of the mission? --- Take me to the dark <cite>Criminalt posted [p:957734981] in What is yo...

The Taliban thought they could win? They lost. They should have waited. They played their hand too soon. We dont negotiate with terrorists. No mercy. Easy victory. The government has fallen so we can take the gloves off. Death to terrorists. Free the Afghani people. Take the country. It will take a long time, but we will make something work. We cant just leave them with the Taliban. Complete eradication <cite>Xethuminra posted [p:957735129] in What is yo... [t:79645812]...</cite> <quote>My opinion?

I like that your example of us clamping down on domestic terrorism has to go back almost 30 years You mean probably the most well known domestic terrorist attack in american history? Sorry you didn't like my example. How about the Boston bombing? San bernadino? Charleston?

ElatedVenusaur 09/04/21 4:16:07 PM #44:	We never should have gone in the first place and it's clear, in hindsight, that the government was always going to collapse like a house of cards the moment we weren't protecting it from every random breeze. There was never and was never going to be a point where we could have affected a "dignified" withdrawal where the Taliban politely waited on the sidelines for us to get every last person out in an orderly manner. It was always going to be a damned mess, and we have no one to blame for that but ourselves. --- She/her <cite>ElatedVenusaur posted [p:957735199] in What is yo...
