Iraq was an absolute shit show and nowhere near as competently planned as the German Occupation.

Yeah, drawing up an entire rebuilding plan, funding years and years of developement in that country is definitely the same as throwing ones hands in the air and yelling “THE FREE MARKET WILL FIX ALL OF THIS” while disregarding any local democratic initiative. Torturing the civilian population, releasing the entire army on day one, thereby creating 400.000 armed and disappointed men.

Iraq did not fail because the Americans or the West couldnt. It just had no interest at that time.

Btw, the democratic tradition in Germany was barely 14 years old and was hated by more than 30% of its pre war population. We had just come out of commiting the worst genocide in history and most of us cheered for it.

I cant mention it enough: Under the american occupation, afghan women and minorities enjoyed more protection and participation than they ever had in the last 100 years. And as soon as the military presence went away, women were kicked out of public life and the Taliban started ethnically cleasing the Hezaras.

Thats not the morality police. Thats a regular old political assasination.

Morality Police tries to enforce “societal norms” such as the hijab and not showing public affection.

LuL, absolutely not more moderate. Saudi arabian morality police hasnt beaten someone to death in the last years, as far as i am aware. I did not knkw the Taliban called their force by the same name.

edit: You guys understand the difference between morality police and normal police right?

Years of competent and cooperative occupation? 5? Thats how long it took in Germany. Probably a bad example, but it is possible. And the occupational force reaaaaally has to work to combat the reasons for this. Under the US Occupation women had a lot more rights and presence in society. The PMCs and scumbags that led this regime however did nothing else to attract loyalty from the afghan soldiers.

Years of extractive Nationbuilding? fuck if i know.

That’s an iranian thing.

things wont improve for women in Afghanistan, as long as the Taliban are in power. I hope thats clear.

Nah, they won’t. It goes bling-bling, has a couple of good use cases, but because it generates Market Hype, Companies will cram it into everything. And i hate it.

Gross, but i don’t wanna kink shame you uwu

Germany.

Atkeast in my country, the only two pro-nuclear parties are fsr-right climate change deniers and the same old fucks who’re only pro-nuclear because the green party isnt.

im fine with dropping AI for more humans right now, but apparently that wont generate shareholder value.

theres a cute programm, call the goblin chef. if you feed it ingredients, along with amounts, and numbers of people to cook for, it spits out some neat recipes.

But it specifically warns you that it cant actually taste things. If you list ice and bacon, it’ll probably combine those two into a dish. (although now i doesnt recognize “one fresh kitten” as an ingredient anymore q.q)

You want those responsible gone? looks like we gotta drone strike the knesset then

Dont forget that the death penalty is now on the table for “taiwanese separatism”.

The iranian armed forces lead the canadians 1:0 in terms of downed civilian airplanes.

that’s my favourite theory, the germanic honor-culture has survived here and we value doing the right/honorable thing more than anything else.

i gotta take one look at your banking laws and who is banking in Switzerland to laugh that one out of the room.

Yeah we all know why. Because every time someone improves conditions for their citizens and nationalized american industries, they get Allende’d.

Did you provide gasoline and weapons to the israeli state? Did you give your money directly to Israel? Then yes.

No, they are just causing genital mutilation and genital wounds consistent with rape but since we have no video proof, you can’t say they used rape in a systematic way. They have sexually abused victim or caused immense damage to their genitals, that is confirmed by the very report that also denies systemic rape.

You do realize that “not liking the current government” and being anti authoritarian are two very different things.
