The US empire will literally invade a country so it can spend decades using the people who live there as target practice for its expensive new military technologies and then tell you to worry about motherfucking Cuba.

Sure is a crazy coincidence how government foreign policy decisions that would advance humanitarian interests always happen to align perfectly with government foreign policy decisions that would be extremely profitable for weapons manufacturers.

Love how everyone suddenly started babbling about China taking America's place in Afghanistan. Like Beijing's been watching all the world powers smashing their heads against military interventionism in Afghanistan and thinking "Yeah that looks awesome, we should definitely try that."

Bush era war criminals are louder than ever right now because they've lost the argument. The Afghan "government" proved to be an illusion, proving they spent 20 years lying to us about what they'd been doing there, so now they're trying to salvage their reputations and legacies.

I can't believe there are still highly influential people saying we need to keep raining military explosives on the Islamic world to make Muslims less extremist.
