I say we allow the Afghanis to squabble among themselves and turn it into a reality television show for American consumption.

They want us working to pay taxes if not they are content letting us rot in the street or prison

Betting on which side wins @ConradHensley

I would put some over unders in

Leaving the middle east to its devices isnt a good idea

document an entire country dissolving before our eyes

Afghanistan is the worlds opium supply

The Middle East will always be at war, it’s impossible to intervene

Leaving the ME to it's own devices isn't a good idea, it's an amazing idea.

here is a good example most country's as we speak are mass printing money thats how fake it is

And lithium mines needed tor electronics

"6pm central! comin at ya live its the FALL OF AFGHANISTAN"

People said the same about Europe

Kurds +350

We also need to prevent china from building a railway through Afghanistan to Europe

Okay, and? They were right as well until Pearl Harbor attacked, then we had a valid reason. @Mando

i hope im on the side with the cool uniforms

if money so was real that wouldn't be a thing the money is only worth what is backing it

that's my side @CalamityBomb

No

I wasnt talking about WW2, I meant Europe's history of war

Mando: Well we could do it the Condalezza Rice Way or we could do it the British Imperial way. The former involves trying to Americanize them and teach them democracy. The latter involves subjugating the people, harshly, and then once they have submitted, bring in Jesus Christ like a bar of soap to clean the population.

Money is worth what people say its worth , backed by trust to pay pack debts

"teaching" people democracy doesnt work when people vote against their own interests

You own both sides

there is a saying might is right. if we ever do go "bankrupt" lol then it just means war time and we just flatten everyone then we are no longer "bankrupt"

Mando: Their own interest? The Afghanis are not of us.

Europe's history of war is not a matter of ours, it's a matter of Europe. However, I will say that war has benefited European society in the long-term.

They arent us, but they are still people

And the people have the illusion of choice , worked forever

have you ever been to the Middle East? Their standards of governance are based off of client patronage and nepotism. These people can't grasp Democracy.

Trump wasnt suposed to win, our military are seizing a rare opportunity to take back the power

Lots of jingoist here today

remember when they let a bunch of violent offenders out of the prisons

Thats the problem, you give them voting rights they will just vote for the same shit

lol trump was in the lead the whole time some guy had explained the whole thing about the polls before the election even happend and he was correct the whole time

Itd take years of lifestyle changes and improvements for a democracy to work there

The various ethnic and religious conflicts don't help either.

Yesh he was filling out stadiums and they couldnt with jayz and his wife headlining

Thats part of the lifestyle change thing

Just stay the fuck out of the Middle East, those people have been fighting forever and it will never end
