Next they will ignore this and continue to make things up about their state- designated "enemies" to make them sound worse. Sure, we may have lied about every war before this for profit but this time the Badguy Villainman really is Hitler 2.0, we swear! This time we really are on the right side of history, so shut up and support these Nazis!
God damn, I've lived in America all my life and I'm so sick of our bullshit, and I don't even have to worry about stepping on any of the unexploded freedom we leave everywhere else. And if you live in the UK or something, no you don't, it's Damp America, it's all America.
This post is dedicated to the brave Mujahadeen fighters of Afghanistan
And the brave women trying to get an education there.
If the U.S. actually gave a shit about women's rights it wouldn't ally with Saudi Arabia (and a dozen other countries) and wouldn't have funded and armed fundamentalist Muslims throughout the 70s and 80s.
The U.S. view of human rights generally is that they are occasionally a useful rhetorical cudgel for browbeating skeptical liberals into supporting the war du jour.
Incredible own goal here my man
In your opinion.
If the west allowed the Soviet Union to bring socialism to Afghanistan, the Mujahadeen would have been a footnote in the pages of history. If you agree with no other part of the USSR, the social and gender equality aspects are surely better than current Russia/Afghanistan. Instead we have Osama doing what he did
The US created the people keeping women from getting an education
Youve got neutron star for brains
