Itâs like millennials do not understand that middle east has been at war for 1000âČs of years. That we intervened on behalf of Kuwait. That without âbombingâ people that want to kill and oppress others, millions will be murdered and tortured.
âat war for 1000âČs of yearsâ
you clearly know nothing about Afghanistan nor the middle east
hereâs Afghanistan in the 1950âČs, 60âČs, & 70âČs
if you really want to know what caused all the instability & growth of extremist groups I suggest you take a look at the US foreign policy towards Afghanistan during the 80âČs
Itâs interesting to note that when the communist government came to power in Afghanistan in the late 70âČs, one of the first things they did was declare equality of the sexes, made education for girls mandatory, & banned child marriages. The conservative tribal leaders who the US armed & funded (& who later became the Taliban) declared this to be a âwar on Islamâ & fought against the central government.
The US had no problem back then with encouraging the growth of Islamic conservatism to counter socialism/communism. You created your biggest enemy & you have no one to blame but yourselves.

its crazy to me how the US talks about war in the middle east as if its this ancient problem inherent to the area instead of a recent problem created by western countries to further their own interests.

the CIA took out the democratically elected leader of Iran in the 1970s over oil and that set off an entire chain of events leading to ISIS, hereâs more about multiple other countries weâve fucked overÂ
