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
and the main cause of the war was WMDs
Which added fuel to the talking points on invading
there was none
it was a ploy with the British for 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
