That's pretty gross. We're there to defend oil but here's heartwarming propaganda to distract you.

jwb 11-01-2019 06:30 PM

Eh we're there just as much to wage a proxy war on Russia and weaken ISIS

Oil definitely matters but I think a lot of people over estimate how straight forward these wars are

We have a vested interest in pursuing strategies that empower our geopolitical interests in every relevant region in the world

And forn ask the talk about no blood for oil during Iraq and Afghanistan, we've done very little to improve our access to foreign oil. If anything we just doubled down on drilling and fracking at home to make up the difference.

Since 9/11, U.S.-led forces have killed—directly, not indirectly--more than a thousand children in Syria and other war zones around the world.
Let’s not get it ****ing twisted.

Sure sure but it's still disgusting to be like hey look at this Marine making friends with these locals. People talk about left wing and right wing media but Chomsky's right. All American news is pro-American.

Yea they have that bias.. but we're still more self conscious than most countries are.. and definitely more than was normal ~70 years ago when we were burning entire cities to the ground with out a hint of remorse

Chomsky is right about America... But he ignores most of the rest of the world and pretends that because we're the most powerful we're just uniquely evil

It doesn’t mean the regular citizens get access to the oil supply to lower prices. It just means that rich ass people from wherever are going to continue hoarding the wealth selling that oil wherever. Any threat to the current power structure that would put any of the wealth attained from energy exports incites violent American military intervention. ****ing ISIS and Al Qaida my ass. All they are is a threat to control energy wealth. ****ing 9/11 and we invade Iraq. That’s like invading Indonesia after Pearl Harbor. It’s about selling the war machine and oil and keeping the super elite unchallenged. The rest is bull**** propaganda. Be for ****ing real. There’s not a drop of sincerity or concern for humanity in our foreign policy.

... I didn't say it was about humanity, lol. Our geopolitical interests go beyond oil. There is no oil in Afghanistan.
