What happened on the rest of that map, did a bridge collapse? That's a very nice small town 9/11, you did the best you could. The only authentic 9/11 was in New York baby! Greatest city and greatest 9/11 of all time!

remember how in the immediate aftermath there was a real tense few days where none of the foreign policy talking heads would say for SURE that we weren't going to invade saudi arabia

iran, and most of the west, really thought in the aftermath of 9/11 the US would move to align with them. Hundreds of thousands of people marched in tehran to show their support for the united states in the immediate aftermath because EVERYONE loving KNEW THE SAUDIS DID IT

all early gains in afghanistan were because the Iranian National Guard was doing the heavy lifting; they knew the terrain, the people, the language, etc.

we now know that the only thing that stopped the iranians from getting bin laden was likely rumsfeld saying not to guard the entrance into pakistan for some reason

anyway the guy that was in charge of that military operation was blown up in a random rear end drone strike by donald trump lmao

the same iranian general that trump murdered after the military presented him with an option not thinking he'd select it in a million years was the one that defeated ISIS in iraq

dude literally did all the heavy lifting for america over twenty years, is basically some metal gear style protagonist, and trump was just like "yeah sure whatever murder him"

i read an interview recently from a senator that was on the 9/11 commission and he straight up said "i remember exactly whos names were redacted but i can't say"

after two decades it has to be people that are powerful and still alive enough to pull strings, so like literally any saudi prince

quote:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military on Monday disclosed a more than 50% jump in cases of traumatic brain injury stemming from Iran’s missile attack on a base in Iraq last month, with the number of service members diagnosed climbing to over 100.

No U.S. troops were killed or faced immediate bodily injury when Iran fired missiles at the Ain al-Asad base in Iraq in retaliation for the U.S. killing of Revolutionary Guard General Qassem Soleimani in a drone strike at the Baghdad airport on Jan. 3.

100 soldiers will never be able to look at fluorescent lights again but no bodily harm was done
