Then the taliban rose to power when the refugees came back

and turned it into a shithole after the war was over

you overthrew a legitimate government

im not a communist but communist Afghanistan was a legitimate government here, pal.

the Soviet intervention happened because the Afghans requested it from the Soviets when the mujahideen appeared

A sharia law government that supports international terrorism? Yes

Yes that government was overthrown

so?

Islamic fundamentalism is better, you say?

Well if by your definition that's a bad thing then I guess yes that was what we did

what a faggot

and created a shithole, as usual

overthrew a democratically elected government in Chile and instituted a military dictatorship

Well, anywhere the US puts boots on ground to start a war becomes a shithole, yes

and you support it

Extremist flock to those areas to kill Americans

yes, because of unnecessary interventions

Not only do I support it, I participated in that, both Iraq and Afghanistan

Good lord

I helped build a school, water wells, and detention facilities in Iraq. And I helped teach the Iraqi army about construction

And I drilled several water wells in Afghanistan

yea that's good and all, but stopping a mess you created still isnt a excuse

how old are you btw?

I'm 33

lol

I dunno if there is any simple solution. I think some of the work we did to drill wells or build bridges is a disaster anyway

that's good and all, but it's simply wiping the floor with the mess your government decades ago created

Those things just go into disrepair as soon as we leave, and they become dependent on the water or bridge after a few years, then it fails, and no one knows how to sustain it and it creates a void and is basically a disaster for anyone dependent on the infrastructure

true

wouldn't have needed that

Yeah, best thing would be to leave them be. But unfortunately they don't let us be

Or they don't let their neighbors be

socialism is still better than islamic fundamentalism, you didn't have to support them, muh **"red scare"**

@raqdog 15/19 of the hijackers were Saudi

so why didn't you invade Saudi Arabia?

And you gotta commit to these wars when they start. Can't just half ass it

you went to war and voluntarily enlisted under false pretences

Because osama was holed up in Africa and Afghanistan

The better question is why Iraq

yea, but 15/19 of the hijackers were Saudis lol

again, destabilising regions is what happens when you impose imperialism
