Great

2018-04-09 13:44:07 UTC  

It should be overwhelmingly "No".

2018-04-09 13:44:33 UTC  

We should petition Trump to use CIA for something useful and arrest the Whitehats/ others responsible for Gas while working with Assad

2018-04-09 13:45:13 UTC  

The first gas attack a while ago was against Assads own people (his extended family or whatevs/ microwthnicity/ tribe)

2018-04-09 13:45:35 UTC  

CIA is full of cancer to be sure, but it could be used for good as well

2018-04-09 13:46:33 UTC  

This is what I say:

2018-04-09 13:46:39 UTC  

No involvement, period.

2018-04-09 13:47:32 UTC  

True

2018-04-09 13:47:54 UTC  

George Washington warned against foreign entanglements

2018-04-09 13:49:36 UTC  

However, Syria is also in Russia's sphere of influence ... so if we simply stay uninvolved the Spetznaz could probably help Assad more than our CIA would willingly go along with

2018-04-09 13:50:15 UTC  

Yes. Let Russia deal with Syria and maybe also Afghanistan if they wish.

2018-04-09 13:50:17 UTC  

America first

2018-04-09 13:50:41 UTC  

Afghanistan has been fucked since the Soviet Union invaded them in 1979

2018-04-09 13:51:12 UTC  

And the Soviets got stuck in that Vietnam-Style War for 10 years

2018-04-09 13:51:26 UTC  

Well

2018-04-09 13:51:58 UTC  

CIA funded Osama Bin Ladin and crew to make sure Afghanistan turned into as deadly a Vietnam as possible

2018-04-09 13:52:03 UTC  

Yeah

2018-04-09 13:52:09 UTC  

It was horrible foresight

2018-04-09 13:52:13 UTC  

Yea

2018-04-09 13:52:24 UTC  

Why did the Soviets even invade Afghanistan?

2018-04-09 13:52:39 UTC  

I think just for more clay

2018-04-09 13:52:49 UTC  

They had plenty holdings in central Asia

2018-04-09 13:52:51 UTC  

The Afghans overthrew the socialist government, so they retaliated with an invasion

2018-04-09 13:53:03 UTC  

Maybe they wanted Naval Ports on the Indian Ocean

2018-04-09 13:53:04 UTC  

They wanted more influence in the region

2018-04-09 13:53:24 UTC  

Afghanistan offers a port to South Asia and the Middle East

2018-04-09 13:53:26 UTC  

Wasn’t it because they were afraid of Islamic revolutions in their southern republics because they were Atheist?

2018-04-09 13:53:41 UTC  

They were

2018-04-09 13:53:45 UTC  

If I were them I'd be planning for an eventual railroad/ highway going from Moscow to the Indian Ocean

2018-04-09 13:53:54 UTC  

The islamic governments were anti-communist to a large extent

2018-04-09 13:53:56 UTC  

Like a forced version of their roads to Crimea

2018-04-09 13:54:13 UTC  

Although Iran did have some backhanded cooperation with both sides

2018-04-09 13:54:57 UTC  

Many of the secular MENA governments were socialist systems propped up by Soviets

2018-04-09 13:55:13 UTC  

Libya, Iraq, Syria, etc

2018-04-09 13:55:18 UTC  

Yeah

2018-04-09 13:55:42 UTC  

In the fall of the cold war, those sort of governments are necessary to protect religious minorities

2018-04-09 13:55:43 UTC  

Iraq went somewhat fundamentalist after the first gulf war

2018-04-09 13:55:54 UTC  

And yea mostly

2018-04-09 13:56:03 UTC  

Unfortunately, Conservative Inc hasn't learned that.

2018-04-09 13:56:12 UTC  

There is a huge problem of Christians getting killed in the Middle East tho

2018-04-09 13:56:24 UTC  

Yeah, of course.
