USA is a terrorist state - eviltoast
  • Leadership knew that the taliban was not responsible for 9/11 but entered the country anyway. Unlike Iraq, there is no oil in Afghanistan. There was no strategic value in conquering this country other than intimidating other countries not to fuck with the states.
  • USA spends 39% of global spending on military but has only 4% of the population.
  • Vietnam is the most bombed country in the world.
  • The US has caused so much suffering, instated dictators like Pinochet, fueled proxy wars in Latin America and in the middle-east, they even funded the taliban in the 80s.
  • American foreign policy is insane and USA is a terrorist state.

    The motivation for invading Afghanistan was to build an oil pipeline from the Caspian Sea to the Indian Ocean. Talks with the Taliban broke down a few months prior and the plans were drawn up for the invasion.

    Those plans were then followed when a decent enough excuse to do so was allowed to occur. This is why Al Queda were able to escape en masse to Pakistan.
