    person replies back with factual evidence contradicting your personal beliefs in a foreign war, “lmao, so?”

    Where is here? The World News community? The only one I see whining is the pickle. Is this a small step away from saying people should go back from where they came from and leave this social space you’ve claimed as your own? IDK wtf you’re thinking coming into someone else’s post, refuting verified evidence, then proclaiming hate because its context makes the US look subpar. What’s your point, you love the US, why come on here and have to ignorantly shout it?

      you mean an Association Fallacy that fails to prove their claims? US Maries also peed while they were there. That doesn’t prove it’s why they were there.

        You:

        the US didn’t give a shit about it at all

        Response:

        the United States spent more than $9 billion on a dizzying array of programs to deter Afghanistan from supplying the world with heroin

        You:

        lmao, so?

        That doesn’t prove it’s why they were there.

        Now the goal post has been moved to WhY?!? were we there? Throw up some more pretty images to explain the situation please.

          Now the goal post has been moved to WhY

          wow, that’s quite the pretzel you’d twisted yourself into trying score some imaginary “point”.

          The “goal post” was always the “why” and it was never to eradicate opium. Every source, every article linked here bears that out. all that’s ben proven here is:

          the US didn’t give a shit about it at all

          ya got me there. they did care. still doesn’t prove that it’s why the US was there, and, in fact, several of the linked sources directly state to the contrary against claims that it was.

          try not to hurt yourself with more of those mental gymnastics. it’s hilarious to watch

          edit: ya know, you probably wouldn’t be so outraged and angry all the time if you didn’t constant make stuff up to be outraged and angry about.
