| They are obviously not isolated wars, and the reasons they give are transparently fake. Look at a map. https://www.google.com/maps/vt/data=RfCSdfNZ0LFPrHSm0ublXdzh... Yemen is a choke point. Syria is in an extremely strategically important position both in terms of territory and it is an ally to Iran. Iraq and Afghanistan are on each side of Iran. Egypt was blocking the Libya invasion. That was a cyber-intelligence coup, not a 'democratic revolution'. All of these are part of an extended military campaign that goes back decades. Or centuries. Or thousands of years, depending on how you count it. It is amazing that people don't see the connection between ISIS -- a supposedly Muslim enemy that (currently) somehow all of our enemies conveniently fall under the umbrella of, and the other ones that came before it -- Al Qaeda.. all the way back to the Crusades. Anyway, I am going to take an image of this comment. If it is deleted or flagged or something, that is how you know that Hacker News is also part of the propaganda party. |
