  • You’re like really mad about this while being completely obtuse. Relax.

    The Mujahedeen weren’t as organized or as unionized, they were scrambled together to fight the Russians. When that was over another imperial force was pushing onto them, now organized they sort of merged with radicalized groups to form what is the Taliban. I had to Google his name but Jalauddin Haqqani is an exact example of what I mean, cut his teeth fighting Russians and moved to fighting US/NATO.

    The ideology they share is main entire reason they were fighting in the first place that you’re completely overlooking. The entire reason any of this happened. To fight imperial powers, to remove them from their country. Which is the same thing the sons of liberty wanted hence the comparison.

    They’re not vaguely nonsecular afghan paramilitaries. They’re people motivated to fight western influence and were lining up under dozens of labels to do so.

    How is this hard to understand?

    There is a teacher I had in school who got busted for grooming multiple boys specifically interested in their masturbating habits.

    Anyway, he lost his job and last I saw he was ranting about wokeness and the Clinton pedostuff in 2016 with pizza gate and shit. Full on hating pedophiles while being one himself.

    Wonder where he’s at now?




  • I’m saying he deescalated a very awful military campaign that was branded “the war on terror” and was just one of many wars caused by intelligent agency bullshit when Obama was literally just of age to vote.

    It’s not a question of necessary evil it’s a question of spinning plates. Stopping it too fast and it’ll fall to the floor and all those children you use as an argument piece so fucking cruelly and stupidly go with it.

    He had power. The president especially under Obama with such a hostile Congress/infrastructure around him cannot just declare the end of a war. Congress funds and declares war. The best Obama could do was deescalate, take action to reduce casualties and attempt to set up some sort of government he can even TRY to broker peace with.

    And so he does that pretty well I believe and your ass is being a dick about it. Criticize all you want but do so correctly.

    Scroll through this entire thread and look at how many morons are using words like warmonger and acting like he’s the one killing kids. Then look at how fox news portrays Obama. You think they’re not somewhat related?

    Trump abolished the ability to know how many children he even bombed and Bush caused more destruction and death than Obama.





  • It literally wasn’t his choice and it was in his hands but alongside so many others. He’s not the king bro you don’t seem to understand that. You also don’t seem to understand he’s not making these missions he has people under him.

    Do you have a job? How many times does the boss set an expectation and you or a coworker miss it? You’re being intentionally ignorant, obtuse, and just dishonest.

    Most people here are repeating Republican talking points. He’s a warmonger who literally decreased the amount of war and avoided open conflict the best he could? What a terrible warmonger.



  • Who is claiming that’s okay though? And why are you acting like such a tool about it? You’re literally treating it like Obama himself targeted kids. 150,000 to 20,000, both sides experience less casualties. That’s a fantastic step up, Obama is correctly leading to a proper solution as best he can. Stop making human suffering a political bludgeoning instrument

    The way you paint it, any war makes all combatants bad guys permanently and you’re too immature to spot people trying in a fucked situation… You can believe war is evil and bad and cruel but also be forced to engage in one.

    Bush invaded and leveled a country to be unable to hold itself up. Obama chose to try and install support, that’s what neoliberalism does. As much as you wanna believe it, he literally can’t just sign a paper and magically make it all go away. He has to present a solution, criticize it and judge it all you want but calling him a warmonger and being so ignorant about the actual steps taken to reduce suffering is just stupid of you.



  • Obama didn’t bomb kids. The military regardless of president has bombed kids. Whole government problem dunno why you point at Obama as the king that’s goofy.

    Wasn’t his war. Military industrial complex is huge. it’s very cute you guys think that gets dismantled in a day of something stupid.

    The economy was genuinely better though. I can say the economy operated better there rather than here and simultaneously know the economy and system do not service the poor or society. Why can’t you?
