How the US Shattered the Middle East (and Why)

It's safe to say that the United States causes more terror in the world and more death of innocent civilians than every Islamist terror group in existence. Trying to explain this to a Trump loyalist is like trying to teach a monkey Algebra.

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.

Why would this "mean total disaster and increased danger to the homeland." ?
Why would this "mean total disaster and increased danger to the homeland." ?
Are you unfamiliar with the "safe havens myth"?

How the U.S. Shattered the Middle East

"What makes the situation in the Arabian Peninsula’s south particularly disturbing is that supposed foreign policy 'experts' in D.C. have long been hysterically asserting that the top risk to America’s safety are Islamist-occupied 'safe havens' or ungoverned spaces.

"I’m far from convinced that the safe-haven myth carries much water; after all, the 9/11 attacks were planned in Germany and the U.S. as much as in, supposedly, the caves of Afghanistan."

If the top risk to US security stems from "safe havens" in the Middle East, why is the US military creating more of them?

How many new wars has President Trump started?

Zero.

Funny how you hate the President that doesn’t get entangled in ME affairs, but you kiss the ass of the Hussein who fucked up the ME worse than Bush did.
How many new wars has President Trump started?
How many Muslim civilians have Trump's drones killed?
More than Barry's?
Yes.

Not enough to suit me. Tell them to get the hell out of the way.

War is heck. Boom!

We're most of the way to Eretz Yisrael, already...

1922-mandate_for_palestine-300x210.jpg


But it ends at the limits of the 1922 vision...

Muslim-Arabs already have their slice of the former Roman and Turkish province of Palestine...

Their slice is called "Jordan"...

As (what little is left of) the West Bank and Gaza continue to shrink, it won't be long now, until the old League of Nations partition plan of 1922 becomes reality.

The Arabs have shot themselves in the foot time and again and again...

The Palestinian-Arabs should have come to terms with Israel while they still could; until the 1967-1973 time frame...

But... given that the Muslims attacked (or were mustering on the borders to attack) Israel three times... 1948... 1967... 1973...

Well... three strikes and you're out...

If there was a snowball's chance in hell that a deal could still be pulled off, the idiot Palestinians' Intifadas 1 and 2 finished that off...

"The Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity." - accepted nowadays as a truism.

Now, there's nothing more to do but sit back and watch Israel complete its finalizing of the 1922 partition...

Oh, and, by the way, America did not lend substantive support to Israel until after the 1967 War, and that was largely to offset Soviet supply of the Arabs...

But it was the Israelis themselves who kicked Muslim-Arab ass time and again, held back only by the prospect of American disapproval and a drying-up of supplies...

America didn't tear-apart the Middle East...

Those Arab camel- and goat-buggerers managed most of that on their own...

It's just more convenient to blame America than it is to look long and hard and honestly in the mirror for the true cause of their problems.
What impresses you most about the Jews of Israel, their greed or their racism?

Sound's like the guy has some serious issues with the Army, and life in general.

Who Are the Real Terrorists in the Middle East?

"Then again, American troops were, at the time, militarily occupying Iraq in violation of the spirit of a slew of international strictures and, soon after the conquest of Iraq, senior U.S. policymakers reportedly seriously considered regime change in Iran—joking that 'boys go to Baghdad, real men go to Tehran!'

"Washington, then, might not act so different from Tehran if Iran had just conquered Mexico and then threatened to overthrow the U.S. government. What’s more, though Tehran exerts influence in its own region, the 'terrorist' label seems unwarranted.

"After all, the IRGC has never attacked the U.S. homeland; in fact, no Iranian on a visa has ever committed an act of terrorism in America, and no citizen of Iran has struck on U.S. soil since at least 1975."

What drones and where?
 
What typical drivel from a liberal peacenik.

War is good for America. Defense spending increases which is good for the economy and good for the workers in that industry. We get to test our new weapons systems in real war situation. It's a win-win for everybody. And when we bomb a third world country, other third world countries take note that they shouldn't mess with America.
Are you really that ignorant?

Good. Let the Jews have a nation and they can all go there. Muslims have dozens of other counties all to themselves.

People lose their land when they lose wars. Why are these Muslims exempt from this rule that has been around since apes learned to use clubs?

Don't care. Not my hill to die on.

But if you really did care, you'd leave your comfy little Los Angeles home, go to Gaza, and get shot in the kneecaps like Palis do. But you don't have the balls to do that, so you just sit in front of a computer and annoy everyone with inane threads about things nobody cares about.

Ya can't change nothin.
