- thatswrong0 5y agoOk cool, that doesn't help our current predicament though. Why on earth isn't our military engaging on these missions officially?
- fastball 5y agoBecause our military engaging in missions in the Middle East is exactly what started this mess in the first place.
- thatswrong0 5y agoThe least we could do after fucking things up so badly in the region is assist our allies in the region to safety. If you don't see the difference between starting an endless war and stopping it while keeping our allies safe, I don't know what to tell you.
- fastball 5y agoI do see the difference between the two things, you just clearly have more trust in the military than I do. Why would you expect our attempt to unfuck things (assist our allies in the region) to go any better than our initial push? What makes you think that wouldn't just fuck up things worse than they already are?
- koolba 5y ago> Why on earth isn't our military engaging on these missions officially? Likely because Biden doesn’t have the cajones to approve something like this in an official capacity because he’s too scared of the fallout if it goes south. This is the same guy that advised President Obama against launching the mission that killed Bin Laden: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/12/barack-obama-memoir-joe-biden-bin-laden-raid https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/12/barack-obama...
- ncmncm 5y agoI would have advised the same thing. And advised prosecuting everybody involved in the torture regime, including those who also ended up involved in this attack. Also, "cajones" isn't a word.
