ORIGINAL: TricklessMagic How? By killing the most savage men in their population, you improved their gene pool. That is a win for both populations. quote:
ORIGINAL: TricklessMagic What we are leaving behind in Afghanistan and Iraq is no better, and possibly worse, than what we found. There is more opium trade than ever. A certain group in the West finances their secret projects with the huge profits that trade generates for them. quote:
ORIGINAL: TricklessMagic The Jihadists will take our leaving as a victory and use it as a rallying cry for more recruits and bolder action. Great: then you can exterminate those savages as well. quote:
ORIGINAL: TricklessMagic We defeated one of Iran's biggest local enemies (Iraq) and have given them largely a free hand to do as they please. I rather suspect that it is Iran's turn next - unless North Korea elbows ahead in the queue. quote:
ORIGINAL: TricklessMagic The Soviets killed a bunch of Afghanis, guess what, they still lost the war. They were never meant to win it, but just to weaken Afghanistan. quote:
ORIGINAL: TricklessMagic We killed a bunch of Taliban, and Obama has made us lose. That is how the objective of modern wars has changed: they are not intended to be won. quote:
ORIGINAL: TricklessMagic We killed a bunch of Saddam Husseuin forces, we still lost as the country will slip back into old habits of fascism and dictatorship. It is a bit like the game of whackamole: every time one of them beasts pokes up its head through a hole, you crush its skull and brain. These are wars in the fast lane, enabling many such wars to be fought sequentially and sometimes simultaneously. Such wars are not waged with the intention to occupy territory - for that would necessitate the slow lane. quote:
ORIGINAL: TricklessMagic Body counts are only wins, when the enemy, the enemy's family and friends, the enemies children, are all dead. Let's limit it to the savages in arms, okay? quote:
ORIGINAL: TricklessMagic Look at Carthrage and the third Punic War, now look at the Middle East, how long has the Middle East been a problem (since before the defensive campaign of the Crusades). We'll be dickering over what to do with the Middle East well into the future, short of nuking the damn place and destroying Islam, just a simple reality. There is a better solution, but CM mods have forbidden me to talk about it.
