Well, I would argue the Roman Legions were interested in building things or having things built that made life easier for them. This was the empire that tore down Carthage and salted it's earth.

There's a long and complicated answer to that, but the short and flawed one is getting Osama was never the real point of going to the middle east neither was eradicating terrorism.

I'll amicably concede my previous statement since justice was performed in an expected manner.

Okay, she had it coming, but the government that essentially allowed her to operate and then decided to wipe her off the face of the earth without so much as revealing what exactly happened to them in the end doesn't feel like proper justice, just someone kicking something under a rug to hide it.

*shrugs* I don't know what I am, just that I believe what I believe. Anything that makes sense to me is reasonable enough to believe in.

The Hobbit was worse by far. Watching them after reading the book (and having it read to me as a bedtime story) had me wondering why it was stretched to three movies with at least 4 or so plotlines that absolutely didn't need to be there.

Violence is force, and all power any authority has ultimately stems from force.

There is literally a source at the bottom foot of the image. The US Government Accounting Office (GAO).

He could've done that, but he wouldn't piss off the ultra far right, he would piss off EVERYBODY, including his own voter base. Everything he has done has either set the stage for the Taliban to become the ruling authority in Afghanistan, or for a later re invasion when things get bad enough that the UN stops mincing words and letting nations onto the council who should not be there. It is an absolute clusterfuck that Biden set in motion, and I cannot comprehend how we can blame ANYONE else other than BIden and his piss poor administration.

It's flabbergasting to see people explain away this whole issue with Biden's terrible withdrawal as Trump's fault. Somehow it's good that we were pulling out but it' bad because TRump was doing it for RE election, and it was bad Trump had gotten every major power in Afghanistan to sit down and agree the US could leave. Biden good for pissing off the Taliban by changing the date for when all US forces had to be out by 4 months, which he didn't even use to withdraw, he just up and left with all it's disastrous consequences 2 months early. Trump wasn't even in the opening argument of why this was terrible. It was just a rational look at why the withdrawal was so bad. Leaving thousands of nationals and allies stranded and rearming the taliban for the next 20 years (at the least), and despite all the intent to have the Afghani's in control and NOT the Taliban, it looks like we have achieved the opposite. Biden SHOULD be under blast, because he COULD'VE said: Nah, we ain't leaving.

That was the whole point of extending the date of when they were supposed to be out by 4 whole months. You use those whole four months to withdraw gradually, not all at once, in the middle of the night, without telling any of your allies that you are going. You get non-combatants out, and start withdrawing equipment or distributing it to your remaining allies. and pulling back troops to withdraw them to their points of evac. The Biden administration literally told the Taliban, "I'm going to have this Cake and eat it too", took two bites, and decided to toss the whole cake into the trash.

He made the deal, and Biden altered and broke it. He changed the date for withdrawal 4 months later from the agreed upon date from Afghan village leaders, government, and the Taliban. He then pulled out of Afghanistan 2 months early, and absolutely, undeniably, unmistakably screwed it up. 80+ million dollars of equipment and arms, thousands of Americans and Afghan allies such as interpreters and translators left at the mercy of the Taliban which has proven that they do and will shoot them in the streets after dragging them from their homes. I don't know how in the hell you can even type what you did thinking us the villains.

My skepticism is based on the reality that reality, is very boring. I personally believe that every news channel and organization sensationalizes stories that should not be spiced up, since it's how we consume media. We don't watch or popularize boring media, but everyone wants to go see what hots and spicy. Thus my belief that media is encouraged to lie about things as long as they are exciting since we will consume it.

It should be known that Biden altered the deal after it had been agreed upon that there would be a specific date for the US to withdraw and be out of the country, pushing it back months. Months that should've at least, beyond pissing off the Taliban that the deal had been altered without their approval, given the US more time to withdraw all assets without it turning into the clusterfuck it became.

I'm merely giving a reason why medical science says why we have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs. I'm not polling the public for their opinion.
