    TIL. Apparently what it actually said was "The Gallant People of Afghanistan," but the point is largely the same.

    bite America in the ass

    It won't be America it bites in the ass; they'll be a deadly menace to their neighbors in the West (as I would imagine Russia is going to remain on its toes about armed Ukrainian militias). They've been pretty open about their far right views. Frankly this was actually a brilliant strategy for the government; much like how they turned the Middle East into nations yearning for America's protection, so too will the rest of (Western) Europe now become new clients. As a business strategy it's brilliant, my only question is why European governments and the idiots who vote for them over there actually going along with this; you're watching the car careening towards the cliff, why are you cheering the guy pushing it from behind rather than slamming on the brakes.

    Even the Taliban didn't commit 9/11 until the US had already been engaged in military actions in Afghanistan for years by that point. War profiteering is the point.

    How do you know? So it is just your opinion? There is a video with testimony - what exactly do you got that makes you so sure?
