If you told me in 2001 that the US will spend $2.4 trillion and 20 years to replace the Taliban with the Taliban I would have thought you were crazy.

Yet that's exactly what happened and the US public are not only okay with it, but eager to repeat it again.
So now I am taking bets on how much time and money do you think the US will lose in the Middle East to achieve nothing except looking foolish in the eyes of the world.
if you told me that in 2001 I would’ve been like “that sounds very plausible because I am aware of what occurred in Vietnam”
This is why historical knowledge is important. History repeats itself first as a tragedy second as a farce.

My observation based on everyone who was cheering the US military action against Yemen and its unconditional support of Israel.
It is a hyperbolic statement. I think at least 50% of the US public opposes the operations in Yemen and the unconditional support of Israel. But without a solid public opposition, perhaps a general strike, no one is stopping the US from getting into more pointless wars.
I think 90% of USians think Yemen is some kind of Japanese food
Got it, I thought maybe I missed something that happened today specifically.
Here’s my view on the shitshow that is Earth:
I’m not cheering the attacks on Yemen but that’s a sort of fuck around and find out thing (US/UK in general, I know there has been recent Houthi drone/Israel response that seemed to be overkill). Israel on the other hand can go fuck themselves with what they are doing in Gaza. I think a lot more people are actively opposed to the Israeli response to Hamas than any US/Houthi stuff.
But wtf do I know.
military industrial complex stock holders would have thought you were being optimistic
Everything can be understood more clearly with class analysis. The US people lost the war but military industrial complex made a killing.
