    Bombing places and doing genocide only creates more enemies and more reasons to hate us. It’s so fucking stupid, we literally spent 20 years in Afghanistan learning that lesson (not to mention Vietnam!), but apparently some people still haven’t gotten the message. Other countries somehow avoid being bullied despite not being bullies, the US is the biggest bully on the planet and gets blowback as a result.

    Our leaders know it’ll happen, they count on it, more enemies means more justification to funnel money to the cronies in the military industrial complex. The real suckers are the ones who buy into that bullshit when they’re not even profiting, when their tax dollars are going towards lining the pockets of a Raytheon executive.

      I agree for the most part hence the political nature of my comment. I feel right now the US is at an impasse and idk where it’d go. While Trump is president, he doesn’t exactly have the Mandate of Heaven.
