Americans bomb and kill civilians in those places all the time.

And when they do, groups like ISIS come in and provide power, water, clothing, etc. to the villagers. So the U.S. is bombing them but then ISIS comes in and actually helps them. Who do you think they're going to trust?

Add to that the fact that Trump has turned this into a Holy War against Islam. Even W was smart enough to see that that plays right into the hands of the extremists. He is doing nothing but making this situation worse every day he remains in office.

The alternative is worse.

you know, it's almost as if trump supporters and right wingers don't think of brown people as actual human beings...

Yup. Thought exercise. There's an active and dangerous group of terrorists in London, and they're threatening to attack the U.S. Would we "bomb the **** out of London?" Now do the same exercise for Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Rome, and Baghdad.

I'd like to think if a white supremacist militia was launching terrorist attacks from Idaho, Montana, Wyoming; and Canada having been victimized by them struck back, I wouldn't rush to join the Aryan Nations to defend "our" country and "our" people from the horrible Canadians

Lol

Why would a white supremacist militia be attacking Canada?

they literally did 9/11 because we invaded the Middle East

wtf are you talking about

you might if your family members got killed by their bombs

so the 100 civilians we killed in a drone strike last month, those don't count?

Standard.

I can kind of understand people not learning all the lessons of World War II. It really did happen a long time ago, the world was a different place, and most people that actually saw it happen have died or are very old.

But how have we already forgotten the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan? Was this very thing not litigated during the campaigns? And wasn't the overwhelming message of 45* that Iraq was a bad thing? Can we not even remember the lessons of the last twenty years? Are we really that dumb or is it just that our lives are so much softer and easier than ever. This is really making me lose faith in humanity all over again.

But we've been bombing them steadily since October of 2001, which means an entire generation of young adults has grown up in a country constantly bombed by the US.

Do you think they like us because of all the freedom we've brought them?

Future Trump strikes again!

In keeping with the theme of the previous Tweets, may I present:


Donald Trump has overtaken Barack Obama on executive orders*

Brian Williams tho

The reason we don't bomb these places, including Baghdad recently, is because they have central governments strong enough to arrest terrorists so we don't need to bomb them. This doesn't apply to southern Afghanistan or western Mosul.

WOW. Clovis escalating the personal attacks.

Wishing death on me now.

they're only doing this because the trump administration has built up so much trust among the voters and taxpayers, that it's no longer necessary for anyone to check on what the white house is up to anymore. we can just take their word on it

If you take out all the fake news they're truthing at 100% efficiency

I honestly can't imagine what the US Military could do, after the debauches of the Bush administration, that would get the media, writ large, to turn on them. I think we could bomb almost anywhere that wouldn't disrupt our economy, and the public's response would be ,"meh."

We're bombarded with pro-military propaganda, much of it disseminated by the most mainstream of outlets, and we are able to man it with an all volunteer force, so I also doubt that ending a foreign engagement, unless it were capable of disrupting American's day to day lives, will turn an election anytime soon. When Bush the Elder sent us into Kuwait he got on TV and said "This will not be another Vietnam." And he was right. Public sentiment is unlikely to ever force the hand of the US military ever again.

Some of those places have nuclear weapons themselves so bombing them would be pretty stupid...which is why nuclear weapons appeal to the likes of Iran and North Korea.

Plus an attack on a NATO member is an attack on all NATO members, so the US would be ****ed.

The new acting head of the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights once complained that she experienced discrimination because she is white.

"Invaded", no. Osama Bin Laden declared war on the USA in 1996 because American troops were stationed in Saudi Arabia. OBL also judged King Fahd (Saudi Arabia) an infidel and apostate because he gave permission for the American troops, and because he followed civil rather than sharia law.
Islamist extremists attack America and other countries like France and Germany because they are non-Muslims with a presence in the Middle East, not as retaliation for specific acts of wrongdoing e.g. murder, rape, pillage. OBL justified the killing of civilians by saying: Allah demands jihad to spread Islam, those who die in the quest as Muslims will go to Heaven, those who die as non-Muslims will go to Hell, and either is deserved.
