USA is biggest threat to world peace

[ShoulderRoll]

What's that got to do with Isis?

Same modus operandi.

[Weltschmerz]

More like, they sustain a continuous state of war. It's business.

[Left Hook Tua]

how many people were killed in bush's iraq war?

and why were we there?

More than some wars, less than most wars.

Oil.

Next question.

More like, they sustain and continuous state of war. It's business.

Just like the persians, romans, mongols, spanish, brits, french, germans.

Like all empires.

And?

[Hitman Hodgson]

Just like the persians, romans, mongols, spanish, brits, french, germans.

Like all empires.

And?

And what happened to them? The endless cycle of war bankrupted them.

[Left Hook Tua]

They funded and trained Al Qaeda's leadership. Did you find that funny too?

No they didnt.

Most of that bs conspiracy theory stems from the Afghan war vs. The soviets union.

We funded the mujahideen.

Al qaeda and usama bin laden just happened to be on the same side.

Cool story to tell though. Sounds good for uninformed ppl.

[Left Hook Tua]

And what happened to them? The endless cycle of war bankrupted them.

And what happened to the non warring empires?

Duh


Endless cycle of shifts in power and change of govt thru history.

What only the warring empires disappeared?

The peaceful small states stayed around right?

[Left Hook Tua]

The strong bully, intimidate, influence, conquer the weak.

This is how the world works.

Sorry your liberal college professor didn't explain reality to you.

The trick is to ally yourself with the most powerful country.

Which turned out well for Western europe, japan, south Korea and others.

Not so much for others.

[Weltschmerz]

Just like the persians, romans, mongols, spanish, brits, french, germans.

Like all empires.

And?

Yes, agreed.

[Hitman Hodgson]

And what happened to the non warring empires?

That wasn't what I was suggesting. I was suggesting that there's lessons to learned from history. War isn't the only reason empires fall (in fact, it's a major reason most empires come to be), there's a multitude of factors, but it would be foolish to just keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
