the United States spent $2.3 trillion fighting a 20-year war in Afghanistan only to lose and leave the country in the hands of the same people in charge 20 years earlier Afghanistan today has a GDP of $21.7 billion and a population of 40 million people instead of fighting the war, the United States could have given every man, woman, and child in Afghanistan fifty-seven thousand US dollars in cash, and that would have been cheaper and also would have multiplied the GDP of Afghanistan by over 100 times

every lib rending their garments and wailing in grief over afghan women and girls the sudden u-turn to ignoring it a week later when it turned out we just shoved all the afghan women and girls that didn't fall off the cargo planes in empty unventilated warehouses and left them in the care of a bunch of people who couldn't speak any of the languages of afghanistan

britishbornandbread posted:the rotten.com library entry for 9/11 is compulsive reading this time of year. The thing about this is the second, third, and fourth sentences of it: quote:One inescapable conclusion is that most agencies of the U.S. government suffered a near-total failure to perform their stated functions. and how the idea of that being in any way unexpected is completely fantasyland at this point. The concept that any institution at all actually does what it's supposed to in 2022 is laughable on its face.

He was not following the pool rules, Biden called him a girl, essentially, and he got heated about it and was gonna confront uncle Joe outside the pool with a rusty razor blade. So Joe grabbed the only weapon available, a length of chain and talked him down. Still not sure what that speech had to do with anything or why he felt compelled to tell it, but that's what he said Like how Liam Neeson spent a couple weeks wandering the streets of Glascow with an iron bar looking to beat up black people. vyelkin posted:the United States spent $2.3 trillion fighting a 20-year war in Afghanistan only to lose and leave the country in the hands of the same people in charge 20 years earlier Reminds me of the $12billion the US sent to Iraq - in cash - on loving pallets. Over half of which "mysteriously" vanished.

First Blood was a good movie. And if US soldiers in Vietnam didn't want to be called baby killers they shouldn't have killed so many babies, IMO

The prejudice of a small town sheriff against hippies leads to massive violence and slaughter. If I remember right, only one person dies in First Blood and it's somebody who falls out of a helicopter while trying to shoot Rambo. Rambo makes sure to non-lethally subdue everybody else except the sheriff at the very end and nearly all the massive violence in the climax is property damage because at the end of the day he just wanted to be left alone, not to go on a killing spree. It's really remarkable how much every sequel completely forgot all the themes of the first movie.

Zvahl posted:recognizing optimism when considering democrats is like recognizing amanita mushrooms I used to post on r/chapotraphouse (go ahead judge me for being a redditor) and while that forum was even more edgy and outwardly left wing than this one I was always annoyed by how the posters there could never recognise false hope. No matter how much of a show they would put on about hating democrats, the party seemed to be able to scam them over and over again. And when I would point out how this was just like a similar event from a few years ago people would just go "sure, but this time it's different." I think it's because the average age there was so young, basic pattern recognition isn't a difficult skill to learn. But you need to have experienced actual disappointment in the past before you let yourself really embrace it.
