it was a ploy with the British for oil

And oil

so yea, spreading imperialism since 1965

Yeah, and that's why I think you should be asking about Iraq more so than Afghanistan

The reasons for invading Afghanistan are much more evident

because they created the mess

and trying to clean it up

not a excuse pal

I thought Saudi Arabia created it

oh, Saudi Arabia gave weapons to the mujahideen?

Im@trying to point out it's always had loose open borders

that was the USA, of course which gave weapons to the taliban

also giving weapons to Saudi Arabia

which is used to kill yemeni children

then rant why the Saudis kill these children

epic style

Yeah well, you are describing a lot of democratic leadership mistakes. I don't disagree

and you enlisted voluntarily while being manipulated under false pretences

Hahaha I could care less about the pretenses. It pays for school and you make good money and it's good experience

Of course we all thought it was ridiculous to be over there boots on ground for years. And nobody has all the answers, going to those countries with solutions is what causes the problems in the first place

I did know a lot of people who signed up because of 9/11 though. But I don't operate on zeitgeist, only what's good for me and my immediate family

if you signed up for 9/11 execute the Saudi monarchy

not go to war with other nations

Sounds a little too imperialist

but that's what your country advocates, isn't it?

toppling democratic governments and instituting military juntas and dictatorships in power

it's clear you would go to war for any reason, without basis on ethical and moral principles, just for the money, huh?

Are you talking about the taliban and saddam?

no

latin america

Where are you from?

is that relevant?

im from singapore

lmao you think these power plays are exclusive to market economies?

thats sweet

this isn't a matter of market economies or what

it's universal

i never implied that, the Soviets did some shit in 68, 56 and 53 which was pretty bad too

also in 32

yes

but the Soviets, although no excuse for what they did, did not cause wars which cost trillions
