USA's perpetual war

[seer]

With hardly anyone willing to send troops? Hardly a world war.

Well we did in Afghanistan and Iraq. And more countries will become involved as they feel more threatened. It will not be a tradition war, like the first two World Wars, but it will be war and it will be worldwide - heck it is pretty much worldwide now.

How many of such wars have there been in the last two decades? When will you guys learn?

It is all one perpetual war at this point (hence the thread title). We will probably never learn until we are overwhelmed by debt.

Perhaps we should just let Islam have the world.

That is not what I said. I do not think the 2003 invasion of Iraq was necessary to prevent Islam from taking over the world. Do you?

Yes, they worked.

Yes, they worked.

The military-industrial complex, on the other hand...

No one will be left out since Islam wants the world.

Eventually, there might be a global war. But if so, other countries will choose to fight on their own terms.

Oh, and don't even think of justifying what has happened as if USA is the sole bulwark against the Islamic hordes. If anything, you've made things worse.

VP Biden had declared that "come hell or high water" we will be out of Afghanistan by the end of this year. Afghanistan recently made a pact allowing US forces to stay until 2024.

Looks like they'll be there past 2025.

Seems like the surest route to riches is the creation and management of constant crises.

The perpetual war will be over soon I expect. We are loosing.

[Cow Poke]

There will be wars and rumors of wars....

Thanks for the map. Now I'm not saying that militant Islam is not a problem. It is. But if we were to look at a similar map to Sean's for US military presence around the planet, it would be reasonable to ask just who is attempting to 'take over the world'.

(Waits for inevitable stoning.)
