Europe and Asia?

2018-10-29 15:41:30 UTC  

are you fucking kidding me?

2018-10-29 15:41:36 UTC  

do you even know your geography?

2018-10-29 15:41:48 UTC  

it's south of central Asia

2018-10-29 15:41:54 UTC  

how tf is it between Europe and Asia?

2018-10-29 15:42:14 UTC  

Yeah, Alexander the Great had to make his way through Afghanistan to get to Indian and Asia

2018-10-29 15:42:58 UTC  

land bridge between Europe and Asia?

2018-10-29 15:43:04 UTC  

that's turkey

2018-10-29 15:43:26 UTC  

It produced the most heavily trafficked trade routes between Europe and Asia for centuries

2018-10-29 15:43:41 UTC  

I'm not talking about the silk road, sorry

2018-10-29 15:43:53 UTC  

it's located miles away from Europe

2018-10-29 15:44:10 UTC  

Im just saying, it has very open borders, very diverse and free people

2018-10-29 15:44:27 UTC  

that isn't a bridge between Europe and Asia anyways

2018-10-29 15:44:33 UTC  

People wanted control of t

2018-10-29 15:44:38 UTC  

no excuse for that, your poor in your geography

2018-10-29 15:44:39 UTC  

Yeah it is

2018-10-29 15:45:10 UTC  

yea anyways

2018-10-29 15:45:16 UTC  

keep supporting imperialism

2018-10-29 15:45:21 UTC  

and spending tax dollars on it

2018-10-29 15:46:33 UTC  

I'm surprised you've never heard of how important the trading routes were trough Afghanistan

2018-10-29 15:46:49 UTC  

It ruined Alexander the Great trying to gain control of the country

2018-10-29 15:48:25 UTC  

Support it or just embrace it?

2018-10-29 15:48:42 UTC  

I'm not talking about historical contexts, I know about it, I'm saying it from a geographical point

2018-10-29 15:48:49 UTC  

it's a fallacy

2018-10-29 15:49:48 UTC  

Ok, I dunno what you mean. It's a very easy country to gain access to, and had historically been so

2018-10-29 15:50:24 UTC  

That's why it was easy to set up terrorist training shops there

2018-10-29 15:51:01 UTC  

The Iraqi government was actively trying to gain info and probably even capture the few taliban in their country

2018-10-29 15:52:24 UTC  

Unfortunately for them, we were able to find some training facilities loosely associated with the taliban in Iraq

2018-10-29 15:52:42 UTC  

and the main cause of the war was WMDs

2018-10-29 15:52:44 UTC  

Which added fuel to the talking points on invading

2018-10-29 15:52:48 UTC  

there was none

2018-10-29 15:53:01 UTC  

it was a ploy with the British for oil

2018-10-29 15:53:02 UTC  

And oil

2018-10-29 15:53:34 UTC  

so yea, spreading imperialism since 1965

2018-10-29 15:53:43 UTC  

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

2018-10-29 15:53:55 UTC  

The reasons for invading Afghanistan are much more evident

2018-10-29 15:54:42 UTC  

because they created the mess

2018-10-29 15:54:47 UTC  

and trying to clean it up

2018-10-29 15:54:50 UTC  

not a excuse pal
