    I know it’s a joke but the fact is Al Qaeda was founded by people whose friends and family were bombed by the US military. There’s very little that people, who lost everything to live for in a country kept destitute by attacks from America, can do except keel over or find a way to attack back. The US government creates their nemeses through cruelty, and are ultimately the cause.

    Then they somehow convince their people that some gang member in Bahrain poses an actual threat to the lifestyle of their children in fucking rural Wisconsin, and gets them to train up so they can go and murder four gang members and 48 civilians, whose family members become radicalised against America the violent untamed oppressor, and the cycle continues.

    Since we’re talking about the twin towers and provocations to start wars, I want to post this meme (even though it’s got Charlie Kirk in it)

    To be fair they probably knew how incompetent they were and would have been found out they attacked themselves to justify the war. A mistake like that would be too risky to assume even the dumbest maga supporter would still support trump.

    Step 1: Bomb another nation

    Step 2: Call it preemptive

    Step 3: Any retaliatory actions that nation takes can now be used to justify the preemptory nature of the first strike

    Step 4: Keep bombing that nation because they have now “started” a war by retaliating

    they don’t care about optics anymore.
    Their bootlickers from EU CAnada or wherever in the ‘rules based order’ have already pledged allegiance and are happy to be complicit in the US nazi war crimes.
    They don’t need convincing.
