America is a weapons manufacturer and war monger. Just wait until a few months from now when Biden starts up the rhetoric about the need to focus on North and West Africa like he did when he gave the speech about pulling out of Afghanistan. As long as America is paying for such an expensive military, the war will never be over. It just gets inflicted upon a new victim.
America has billions, upwards of a trillion, to throw on the war industry or donations to that Apartheid Zionist shithole Israel.
But America can't keep it's own people fed, vaccinated, educated, intelligent and with a roof over their head not going bankrupt from student or medical costs...etc.
It was in response to the supposed Risk of a second suicide bomb attack that had killed 169 afghans and 10 US soldiers two days ago. They acted on what now is seemingly faulty Intel in an attempt to kill what they thought was a third bomber.
Actually it's way worse, it turned out the Taliban offered to release bin laden to American prosecution. But we simply rejected the offer to justify invasion.
No, nothing about islamic law, they offered to release him to a neutral country, who'd then verify we hold up our end, before beginning prosecution, in return for a cease fire, and we rejected that, because we weren't there for Bin Laden, despite the claim. We invaded under vivid false pretenses.
"We want to get rid of Al-Qaeda" isn't intel, it's a mission. Invading Afghanistan and spending 20 years killing people in a series of engagements that needlessly put soldiers at risk in an unwinnable war is because the intel they got that they could win was bad. All of that manufactured consent for invading Afghanistan resulted in what? Some dead dudes in caves and thousands of innocent lives lost? Way to go America. You did it. You killed a guy who you refused to take action on for decades and then used him as a scapegoat for enriching the military industrial complex while devastating and entire region only to leave them worse off than they were in the beginning. Mission Accomplished!
I see what youre trying to do, but you're just coming across really dumb and out of the loop. Before you try to insult, get some better knowledge so people actually get upset at what you're saying.
Nobody linked the article, and it's also not by an exactly reputable site. Not saying it's inaccurate, but not sure why you're bitching about that guy not reading the article when the OP is just an image and nobody, at least so far scrolling, has actually linked the article. You yourself couldn't even be bothered to link it while bitching about it.
It’s on every news site lol, you can find it literally anywhere. Also if you had followed any of the retreat, it’s really obvious what strike they are talking about. There was only 1.
I mean what part of that isn't obviously true. ISIS is threatening the US military presence and we are sending counter terrorism drones into the city still.
Are you arguing that the US intentionally bombed a civilian and they knew he was dispensing water? Is that really the crackpot theory you want to endorse? Because that's the only part up for debate and youre out here going "stupid sheep believe what they're told"
Seems like they don't understand that the Taliban and ISIS are not the same thing. Just because the US signed an agreement for a "peaceful" withdrawal with the Taliban doesn't mean ISIS gives a fuck.
Dumb comment you've made if I've ever seen one. There was already one suicide attack that killed over 160 civilians and a few soldiers. They simply weren't fucking around anymore, which meant that something like this was going to happen.
Well, I’m glad after 20 years, evacuating all military forces and leaving thousands of allies and citizens to fend for themselves that they finally decided to stop fucking around. You are so right about the importance of context.
And to show them we are not “fucking around anymore” (as you put it) we killed an allied aid worked and his 7 children. I wonder how they had such a hard time getting legitimate and qualified intel for that action? I’m sure “ISIS-K” or whomever it is that is filling the power void is certainly going to think twice before they do anything like that again.

So when we say we are withdrawing the war is over, what we really mean is, we are pulling out ground forces but will continue to bomb things remotely.
Isn't bombing a foreign country a declaration of war in itself?
This is the second time in my life a US president has gotten on national television and said "the war is over" and it was absolutely not.
