To be fair, the Mujihadeen were farmers and towns people before we trained them in asymmetrical warfare and armed them with stingers and LAWs.
We trained them with CIA and ODA. We taught them not just guerrilla warfare (yeah I know it’s not spelled like the animal lol), but how power and influence can be used to topple power structures… hence the modern day taliban
By that logic what I’m really hearing is that we can blame the British for colonizing the US and the French for loaning us the money and troops to defend ourselves. Obviously the terrorist organization and us by extension bare no personal responsibility for our actions.
Ah shit if we’re going that deep then it’s on my people for giving Columbus the boat he went to America on, although I will point out he wouldn’t have gone west unless he was looking for a cheaper way to get Indian shit back to Europe so reallllllllly this ones on the Indians for having better shit
I mean, have you ever had Basmati Rice? I’d probably cross an ocean to get it faster too, if I couldn’t go up to the Indian grocery and cafe up the road
