Excellent... fewer Islamic Militant scum using-up the oxygen...Who says the US has shattered the Middle East?
Glad you asked:
How the U.S. Shattered the Middle East
"Maj. Danny Sjursen is a retired U.S. Army officer and former history instructor at West Point. He served tours with reconnaissance units in Iraq and Afghanistan..."
The major believes War is a Racket
"Let us take an ever-so-brief tour of Washington’s two-decade history of utterly rupturing Greater Mideast nation-states and splintering an already fractious region. Here goes, from West to East, in an admittedly noncomprehensive list.
"U.S. airstrikes and regime change policy in Libya has unleashed an ongoing civil war, divided the country between at least two warlords, and enabled arms and militiamen to cross the southern border and destabilize West Africa.
"Which means that Niger, Libya, Cameroon, Mali, Chad and Nigeria have seen their shared territory around Lake Chad become a disputed region, contested by a newly empowered array of Islamists.
"That, of course, led the U.S. military to plop a few thousand troops in these countries.
"That deployment is unlikely to end well."
However, that may well depend on your definition of the word "well."
"The whole absurd mess boils down to a treacherous math problem of sorts.
"By my simple accounting, a region from Nigeria to Afghanistan that once counted about 22 state entities has—since the onset of the U.S. 'terror wars'—broken into some 37 autonomous, sometimes hardly governed, zones.
"According to the 'experts,' that should mean total disaster and increased danger to the homeland.
"Yet it’s largely U.S. military policy and intervention itself that’s caused this fracture.
"So isn’t it high time to quit the American combat missions?
"Not according to the mainstream policymakers and pundits.
"For them, the war must (always) go on!
Counterproductivity seems the essence of U.S. military policy in Uncle Sam’s never-ending, post-9/11 wars.
"Call me crazy, or wildly conspiratorial, but after serving in two hopelessly absurd wars and studying the full scope of American military action, it seems that maybe that was the idea all along.
The Hussein, who you adore, started/supported those wars in Libya and Syria. He is the one that called for regime change when they never attacked us.I never voted for or supported Obama, either Clinton or Bush, and I certainly don't support your "Chosen One" whose drones are currently killing civilians at a greater rate than his predecessor.The Hussein, who you adore, started/supported those wars in Libya and Syria.

What drones and where?What drones and where?
Under Donald Trump, drone strikes far exceed Obama's numbers
While the heroic, racist Jews continue doing what they do bestExcellent... fewer Islamic Militant scum using-up the oxygen...
What kind of scum target children with drone strikes?
Kosher scum.
