I wonder what nation will be the U.S. governments next target now that they're finished with Afghanistan.

In the balkans, people actively rooted for trump, because they were afraid that another clinton will start another war here. What I find really sad is, that the same people who have ukraine flags and "putin bad" everywhere, ignore eg. US soldiers that were just sent to somalia, and a bunch of other us/nato missions, eg syria, libya, not to mention "allies", from saudis to israel.

  People don't have the time or inclination to understand the world, so they focus on the targets pushed out in front of them, especially if you can paint them as comic book villains so people don't have to take too much time figuring out who they side with.

    It's not that... if americans kept to themselves and dealt with their internal politics (like massive student debt, screwed up health system, etc.) noone from outside would care about the american presidents. If one of the options like to drop bombs all over the world, to "protect americas freedom" (or whatever the excuse is), then even the outside people start caring.

    If there is a comic book villain in modern leaders then it's Putin; belligerent, racist, sexist, using religion to justify his white supremacist policies, referring to Stalin as his favorite leader, etc. I mean there is literally nothing "good" about him.

  By "the balkans" I presume you mean Serbia? The country that twice committed ethnic cleansing and genocide against its neighbors until the Clinton administration made them stop?

    I live in slovenia. And I still don't want the clintons in europe. Nor do I want the american army here, including american army bases. Maybe if you guys stopped destroying random countries all around the world (you're sending troops to somalia right now, while pointing the finger at putin), people would like you more.

      You're the exception. Your government chose to join NATO, and 15 different European countries have chosen to host US army bases, including every large NATO country except France. Many of those countries participate in US overseas operations, both invasions of hostile countries like Afghanistan/Iraq as well as peacekeeping operations. Nearly every country outside the US preferred the Clintons (Bill and hypothetically Hillary) as presidents to other recent presidents like Bush and Trump.

Maybe the next nation to attack the World Trade Center

  Remind us again, who attacked the WTC? Was it Afghanistan? Libya? Syria? Iran? Iraq? Kuwait? Vietnam perhaps? Which one of the dozen countries that the U.S. has bombed, invaded, or wrongfully accused in the last decades of some wrong-doing was it?
