And then they keep fucking with us because we keep fucking with them, both sides becoming more and more intractable until the heat death of the universe or a terrorist group gets lucky.We are not training anyone, we will sanction the living crap out of them if they are against US interests, or seek to supply our enemies with oil, case in point Iran, Russia with China. Also, invasions are too costly as well.
You get how that's not solving the fucking problem, right? Just makes it bigger while punting the consequences down the road? Because we *love* training and arming pro US-interest militias and backing "pro-US" dictators, from Bin Laden to Hussein to Pinochet.
When has that ever fucking worked, ever? What does that do that's *useful* in anything but the short term besides causing millions of people to suffer for their governments? Just like Strategic Bombing, all it is is counterproductive cruelty.
