    The War in Afghanistan

    Plus, we're talking about wahhabists here. If the past few decades have proven anything, it's that once a critical mass of wahhabists are present within a society, said society will either be a wahhabist theocracy, in a constant state of guerilla civil warfare on account of wahhabists trying to...

    The War in Afghanistan

    I'm only worried insofar as if the Alphabet Agencies get up to their old tricks of training more radicalized terrorists against the enemy of the moment, who then inevitably turn upon us.

    The War in Afghanistan

    Difference is, the PRC will show no hesitation about going right for the source in the form of wahhabist inams/anyone taking saudi and/or CIA money, rather than just exploding random people with flying terminators, radicalizing their surviving friends and family.

    The War in Afghanistan

    CIA proxies or true believers? In any case, this really isn't gonna end well for them.

    You could've kissed it goodbye anyway, outright military victory over the PRC stopped being possible on october sixteen, 1964.

    The War in Afghanistan

    That depends upon people knowing he exists and what he did. The media is unlikely to report either of those things, or at least, not to deliberately misinterpretation them for their own political gain.

    They also know that China would crush them if it came to a fight where they lacked the protection of American cannon fodder and nuclear deterrent.

    The War in Afghanistan

    In the same sense as I 'own' my phone and computer, which is to say, the corps that manufactured them and/or the alphabet agencies could brick them on a whim and lots of the software is only available for rent? And that's with me being paranoid and whenever possible attempting to airgap, disable...

    The War in Afghanistan

    There's no inherent moral difference between blowing someone up with a bunch of household chemicals mixed according to directions from the dodgy sections of the internet, a WW2-style manned bomber plane or a flying robot, they're gonna be equally dead in any case. The morality of the action...

    The War in Afghanistan

    By getting involved in Vietnam at all, we lost. The average American citizen wouldn't be affected in the slightest regardless of if Vietnam was ran by a leftist Soviet puppet regime or a rightist American one, only if they were legally enslaved by the draft and sent to die in a godforsaken...

    The War in Afghanistan

    All the third world military misadventures we lost have one thing in common, our leaders weren't threatened in them. Compare the cold war, when the soviets openly wanted to kill all the american leaders and had weapons capable of carrying out said threat, meaning the leaders faced an actual...

    Also, the Soviet Union, who everyone, Germans and Japanese included, knew if the Americans gave up on imperializing would be taking over the job. And them. Basically the same role we're gonna be playing in China's propaganda toward the Taliban now. 'We just want you to sell us your natural...

    The War in Afghanistan

    Transfer money from US taxpayers to military/industry megacorps. Justify domestic authoritarianism in the name of wartime emergency. Live fire testing for fighting guerrilla insurgencies for in a couple decades when automation eats the whole job market.

    The War in Afghanistan

    Dude, prior invaders of Afghanistan have included the Soviet Union and Genghis fucking Khan. If 'commit war crimes until you win' was the secret, we'd have noticed because of the region being communist or mongolian to this day.

    The War in Afghanistan

    In other words, the only way we'll get an actual answer is to wait a few years and see if the Taliban's new Air Force is still flying.
