again, destabilising regions is what happens when you impose imperialism
and wars which cost trillions of dollars
spending taxpayers money on it
and creating a migrant crisis
Extremist flocked to afganistsn though and Africa
That's where the indoctrination and camps were
That's where it was allows to develop and take on the form of international terrorism
yes, because you funded the mujahideen to the extent that they had the resources to recruit
without us funding no such thing would have happened
anyway, it's pointless to defend imperialism
As one of the most landlocked countries you can find, that use to be a land bridge between Europe and Asia, afganistan was extremely relevant and than all the sudden once we could fly farther than a few hundred miles without refueling it became irrelevant
Europe and Asia?
are you fucking kidding me?
do you even know your geography?
it's south of central Asia
how tf is it between Europe and Asia?
Yeah, Alexander the Great had to make his way through Afghanistan to get to Indian and Asia
land bridge between Europe and Asia?
that's turkey
I'm not talking about the silk road, sorry
it's located miles away from Europe
Im just saying, it has very open borders, very diverse and free people
that isn't a bridge between Europe and Asia anyways
People wanted control of t
no excuse for that, your poor in your geography
Yeah it is
yea anyways
keep supporting imperialism
and spending tax dollars on it
I'm surprised you've never heard of how important the trading routes were trough Afghanistan
It ruined Alexander the Great trying to gain control of the country
Support it or just embrace it?
I'm not talking about historical contexts, I know about it, I'm saying it from a geographical point
it's a fallacy
Ok, I dunno what you mean. It's a very easy country to gain access to, and had historically been so
That's why it was easy to set up terrorist training shops there
The Iraqi government was actively trying to gain info and probably even capture the few taliban in their country
Unfortunately for them, we were able to find some training facilities loosely associated with the taliban in Iraq
