Then something's wrong with your higher cognitive functions bacon

USA has always benefitted from the Middle East being in turmoil

it was hey lets help these radicals fight commies, oh shit the commies are gone and these radicals have a shit ton of training and guns now what

And anti-imperialist sentiment had only been ramping up in Afghanistan the entire time, even after the Soviets were gone. Once Bin Laden showed up with his Arab friends, whatever they were called, the writing was on the wall.

The commies are just an excuse

idk g the iranian hostage crisis was not a US benefit

"lets fight those commies" has always been an excuse

the pre islamic iran was better for western interests

America doesnt give a fuck about preventing totalitarianism

If it did

Saudi Arabia wouldn't be one of our allies

it was to prevent the commies from accessing the oil

Commies already have oil

i for one vote to glass saudi arabia

Well Trump loves them so tough tits

Afghanistan was more important because it was an important strategic point

but there are extensive oil fields that would only assist the soviets

and their war machine

it was a weird time the cold war

CIA backing jihadists, soviets training rice farmers, chinese training african guerrillas

Afghanistan has also a lot of natural resources that couldn't be extracted because of all the invasion, civil wars and general instability
Kind of like Somalia

They're very rich in precious stones for sure

And some metals

laughs in blood diamonds

Don't exactly remember what exactly

Somalia is a very interesting case
They've got a lot of oil and uranium

Africa is where most of the worlds supply of natural resources comes from i believe

If not for the civil war they'd be a considerably rich nation

really if they organized they'd have everyone by the balls

For African standards of course

Yeah

then again the west would still have south america and south east asia as an exploitable option
