@DapperDomo@AgeofGaron Bush wasnt the president of the rest of the world amd gen z worldwide is dumber than previous generations. The actual reason is by and large phones and the internet
@_sneez__ Not particularly, since reddit isn't like social medias in the sense that it doesn't help spread your reach outside your following or a subreddit you post in, and since it's mostly like a chatroom people are less likely to buy stuff from you. Imo, try your luck in insta
@JeSkeleton08@Soundblaster400 It's doubly funny considering that the US is without a doubt the most important country in the world too, so anything related to it affects the rest of the planet aswell
@twiflanker@jihadwatchRS Plus the above statement is still correct, a coptic peasant in mamluk egypt had nowhere to go if the tax collector wanted the jizya, nor did the myriad orthodox christians in the balkans who had to sell their children to the ottoman jannisary system etc
@juan_dla_mancha@EdwardJSofel@DerekPederson3 Esentially hatred of 'heathens' setting foot in arab lands, especially counting how saudi arabia holds the 2 mosques, thereby making it seem as thr US was protecting the 2 mosques and jealousy since he had offered the saudis help against Iraq but they refused him
@AnarchistClass@ZedSoxs They didn't, the mujahedin≠al qaeda. The former were the predecesors of the pro-us northern alliance and the taleban who were supported by pakistan. Al Qaeda were basically war profiteering rich kids whose support base was their own wealth, crowdfunding or pakistan
@GHR2073937@pstein4@DastDn Iraq is for all intents and purposes under the control of iranian militias, so much so that they had to make them part of their armed forces by law in order to not get couped by them
@YuvrajS9258 It also feels like a "milestone" year, since its been 25% of a century since the attacks, and by the next milestone in 2051, most who were around to see it will have died, or be outnumbered by the new generations who only will have heard of it.
@YuvrajS9258@4milleforever -and us support of israel in opposition to the arab states. As for him not attacking russia is that simply the ussr collapsed and they had no influemce left in the mid-east anymore. Though al qaeda and later isis would conduct terrorist attacks in russia for their tratment of-
@YuvrajS9258@4milleforever Bin Laden wasnt afghan, he had no connection to afghanistan before the soviet invasion of 1979. He was radicalised due to the percieved notion that the US was leading the islamic nations allied to it astray from the islamic path; i.e. westernizing them in culture and politics-
@4milleforever@YuvrajS9258 1-He was saudi arabian not afghan
2-He was the scion of one of the richest and most powerful saudi families
3-He was radicalised in college
@AshkenaziAryan@TaxedBrassDied -was not botch the bora bora operation and not invade iraq later on in 2003. Not having iraq destabilized would lead to less troubles going on with the arab spring and isis, though i believe an invasion of iraq would occur around 2011 due to the arab spring
@AshkenaziAryan@TaxedBrassDied Afghanistan realistically, they were sheltering obl and refused to extradite him. Though still, a nuke even in tje shithole that was afghanistan of 2001 would still be controversial due to the country's proximity to iran and pakistan. Really the only thing the us needed to do-
