@UnfilteredGarbage exactly

@Snake probably 80% of the middle east doesn't care that America occupies them. You seriously overestimate communication and culturual identity in a stone-age country

“The mass murder of a nationality or part of that group”

@Snake who said it was against a nationality? i said it was against dissenters

@Spooky Melon genociding unhelpful ethnic groups *has* helped economic progress in the past.

@UnfilteredGarbage how did you get that statistic? Because when we went in there they did

That’s how it seemed

i dont want to kill everyone in iraq

i want to kill all dissenters to our occupation in iraq

<:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>

You don’t have to, genocide can be the destruction of a part of a group

so you're telling me

@Snake how about the fact that the majority of the indigenous populations aren't members of extremist militarist groups
Also you're just using 'genocide' because it's inflamatory language

the north koreans genocided the south koreans because they were at war?

because they killed a part of their nationality

killing a portion of a nationality is literally **every fucking war ever**

Eh, semantics

@Spooky Melon this

@UnfilteredGarbage no I’m not that’s the UNs definition and taking over a country would make more people join

Alright I’ll stop using the term genocide

Nobody cares about the UN's definition of anything

@Snake thats why you improve their living conditions so the reasonable amongst them go "hmm, they're making my life better"

I prefer "ethnic cleansing"

@Spooky Melon sounds a lot like a waste of money to me

Ethnic cleansing more appropriate lol

When our roads are falling apart

Just re-write their laws to be modernized and then use your occupation forces to enforce them until they become the cultural standards

**thats why you're in it for the fucking profits my dude, we've been over this**

School system is shit

We have open borders

the roads and school system arent because of money

its because of shitty beaureacracy

@Snake it's almost like we have separate government departments with separate budgets to handle wars and domestic issues
Or something

@Spooky Melon you say for profits but I don’t see how taking down a countries military in battle, then building up a country after bombing it to hell is going to make money

future trade deals

natural resources

allies

So it’s a start up

A lot of costs at first

@Snake then you're economically illiterate
Japan is one of our best trade partners because we nuked them to the stone-age and rebuilt them in our image

Then it profits
