Why do Americans start and fight wars in foreign lands that profit them nothing? I know the answer but what do normies think? >My son just died in the sandpit for my freedom because dune coons were ready to hop on a boat to take it away from me bless him
Pic related is Mogadishu, why were Americans there in the first place. Americans will be wut we were where?? Black Hawk Down.
It was a continuation of the Cold War. Farrah Aidid was was trained by the Soviet Union, and he led attacks against the UN. A lot of what's going on in third world countries is the US and Russia tying up loose ends from the Cold War.
>implying (((they))) aren't behind most foreign interventionism and Americucks and Bongs aren't fighting Netanyahu's & King Salman's wars

Profit them nothing? Look up Neocolonialism. Look up Military Industrial Complex. Look up Oligarchy.
Owen Phillips
>and he led attacks against the UN Sounds like a false flag to me.
Dominic Evans
Do it for Israel.
Jose Morgan
They are slaves to the Israelis.
Gavin Lopez
A guy in my gym got his leg blown off in Iraq, what a stupid faggot. Goddamn, soldiers are the biggest NPC's in existence.
Brody James
>Sounds like a false flag to me. Well, you sound retarded to me. You stated yourself that we had nothing to gain from going into Somalia. You asked what we were doing there. I explained.
Lincoln Peterson
A few reasons. Keeping the blade sharp. Maintaining an economic and influential hegemony. Will GWB be the last president with the balls to officially put feet on the ground?
Robert Nguyen
>I know the answer but what do normies think? Normies don't think about off topic subjects. They are little doggies and the media waves treats and shows them where to look.
Andrew Clark
They were officially there to stop genocide. I don't know if there was a unofficial reason. In any case, it's boomers in congress who still think it's 1940 and our job to save the world.
Bentley Davis
That you did but just because there wasn't a thread about it being a false flag at the time doesn't make what happened gospel.
Its how you keep your corporations at the top of the food chain. If america wasnt so active in the middle east, exxon mobile and bp wouldnt be as big as they are today. Same goes for interventions in south america, but exchange oil for fruit, tobacco etc. Its always first and foremost for the sake of the economic elites.
Josiah Rogers
>AD 71 >Roman slave asks patrician "Why are those legions in Gaul? Why do they fight wars in foreign lands that profit them nothing?"
Reminder that American soldiers are very brainwashed and believe they're doing it for freedom. Reminder that we should respect their goals but pity their stupidity.
Aiden Foster
I always confuse his flag. Still applies. We saved the world from the Nazis. Fucking scumbags trying to take over the world always come from Europe or the Middle East. Need to glass both regions. World would be a lot better off.
Tyler Moore
The US produced more oil than than OPEC after the 70's. Exxon also does the majority of it's work in US and Asia. Maybe disrupting OPEC is the plan, but very little in the middle east is directly related to increasing oil profits outside of Saudi interest.
Nicholas Moore
>keeping the blade sharp You're a good little goy aren't you. Our infantry are as ineffective as they've ever been, military training has been watered down so the softies of the modern generation don't wash out and leave us with nothing. They are glorified reconnaissance, they rely on tanks and air support and the vast majority of their casualties occur during ambushes or other types of traps, confronting the enemy head on would end the war too quickly for the oil Jews.
Matthew Hill
Because it profits Israel
Ian Wood
It's the model Israel follows. Make trouble away and keep it as far from home as possible. It's shitty, but it's not thoughtless.
Andrew Wright
war is fun and so is killing people you are all low test soi drinking nancyboys
Liam Morris
Just stick to being a peasant idling from the peanut gallery while real men go off to kill other men.
At least you can do arms sales to one side if not both
Brayden Allen
It doesnt really matter. Opening up markets for your own corporations will always be profitable to the economy as a whole, even if said corporations already shit out trillions. Also, the middle eastern interventions go as far back as the 1940s, Im not only talking Iraq here.
Daniel Evans
why would you save someone from the good guys
Adam Smith
>real men You sound like a woman and even your waifu thinks the same
Kayden James

Mason Jones
That explains Vietnam then
Jason Martinez
Can't have a kino war if you stay in your country all the time
The Vietnam war was on the news every night as was the death toll
Aaron Foster
1980s: >US arms Iraq to have a pal in the Middle East >US is waving the flag and barking at Iran post-hostage crisis >US also secretly arming Iran to fund the Contras >at least 350k killed in Iran-Iraq war, not including Anfar genocide >nothing done in 1983 over Beirut barracks bombing where 240+ US troops were KIA >find and arm al-Qaeda to fight the Soviets
1990s: >Saddam poses a threat to Kuwait gold and Saudi oil >within scud range of Tel-Aviv >we suddenly care about his WMDs >massive coalition buildup and conventional victory >occupation advised against by Vietnam vet cabinet >aircraft enforcement and occasional bombing follows >meanwhile our boy bin Laden builds a following
And we all know what happened from there in the 00s, carrying on into the 10s. The skin deep morals and virtues preached by the Pentagon have never added up. Fun fact, Victor Ostrovsky, formerly of the Mossad, claimed that the Mossad knew exactly when the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing was going to happen, but did not inform the Marines. They have denied these claims, but we were there in effort to "maintain peace" and deescelate conflict if at all possible. So, is it possible that they tried to Lavon or Liberty us into their conflict?
Gotta justify the military budget somehow I guess?
Lincoln Brooks
Very interesting. Thanks for your post.
Noah Campbell
Are you retarded? The only combat experience to get in war is actually experiencing it. Otherwise you're North Korea medals for nothing tier. And all you talk about is infantry, which is a small but important part of our war machine.
>>My son just died I honestly hope you are shit posting. But it is true in far too many cases just the same. I'm a soldier myself, I'm very sorry for this.
The primary error is one of not being racist. We think 'they are just like us' in our racism, we do not see them for who they are.
We think 'if we topple the evil dictator they will become a free peaceful people'. We never stop and ask 'maybe the brutal dictator was needed to keep their evil in check'.
But because we cannot ask the honest questions in public, could you do so in Australia? We cannot ever learn from our mistakes and must make them again and again.
Gabriel Cooper
You don't kill people from other countries to get experience, the founders would be spinning if they knew their descendants were saying shit like that. We have thousands of ICBMs we don't need "experience" nobody is going to fuck with us.
Aaron Wilson
>I'm very sorry for this. Wow >I'm a soldier myself Clearly mate
Jesus I feel like I must reply to this as if I was replying to a child. My flag is of Australia, Oz Stray Li Ah that is. There are no women on this website let alone mothers of sons. I don't want to burden you with too much information at once because you seem like such an innocent person and it'd be wrong.
But yes my dear boy, people who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it. Well done 5th grade served you well. Go forth and call airstrikes on a peaceful village and do you duty.
Brayden Richardson
So it was just shitposting, got it.
Hunter Jenkins
Is that supposed to be a good thing you stupid mutt? Lmao
Julian Morales
They profited, not the goys.
Hunter Gomez
Yeah, guess you are a dummy. The military is a hell of a lot more than combat roles. No, that's not what America was founded on, but it wasn't founded on having a global hegemony and using realpolitick to maintain influence. An ICBM can't hold ground or take a country, but a military is but an arm of our apparatus.
Then again, you sound simple minded.
Easton Hernandez
Well actually I do have a son and he did die in Iraq from a IED. There wasn't much left of him apparently but they could identify him because he was a driver and his hands and forearms were still gripping the wheel that they found FUCKING 40 yards AWAY WTF WHY WAS HE THERE FUCK ME ITS ALL MY FAULT
Elijah Perry
They enjoy dying for jews
Adrian Myers
The US was hoping to use Somalia as its forward base for the defense of Saudi Arabia following the first Gulf War. When it collapsed, the US and Saudis backtracked on their earlier promises to keep US forces off of the peninsula and based them there instead. So in a way, the failure in Somalia caused the rise of bin Laden.
Now muzzies are a protected class and you made Europe and New Zealand bend over backwards for them. Good work.
Logan Watson
Because Americans are retarded nigger subhumans.
Landon Robinson
The military being criminal is the only reason we have a hegemony. Everyone wants us to be their bodyguard because we've shown on several occasions that we are willing to cover up the grievances of their enemies with our media, and assassinate figures who know the truth by pretending they are evil boogeyman dictators. We've developed the ultimate weapon of self defense, it is time to pull out from the world and let the natural order take hold.
Brandon Myers
>what do normies think to answer your question, normal Americans suffer from extreme cognitive dissonance whenever they try to make sense of America's foreign entanglements, which causes a severe headache due to badthink, thus they start thinking about something else instead
Angel Stewart
to be fair, most of the body count is Iraqis killing each other
Aaron Bell
Wilsonian moralism, that's why. They think they have a moral obligation to save the world from evil and make it safe for democracy.
Colton Hill
>Why do Americans start and fight wars in foreign lands that profit them nothing?
Billions of dollars spend to buy weapons manufactured in U.S.A it's called profit.
It would be a loss if those weapons where imported.
Andrew Hill
we could have spoke German instead we will speak Spanish
Yeah, let's just give up our entire economic influence and let dumbass homebrew ISIS take hold in the power vacuum. Sorry friend, this is the state of the world we live in, and your half-baked fantasies won't come into fruition.
Isaiah Ramirez
With respects to Iraq and Afghanistan they do it for China, who owns much of our congress.
Luke Russell
Our leaders are war profiteers. Sorry user. Hopefully we can have public hangings soon.
Dominic James
Thats a stretch there ozzy. Our push for a stronger foothold in the oil control center during the switch to the petro-dollar made europe and nz pussies? Not sure we can claim that.
Jose Nelson
Do you really think there would be a vacuum if Saddam was still alive? Is Mossad going to keep their deep cover operatives in ISIS if they don't have the Navy SEALs on-call to extract them as soon as their treachery is exposed?
Jace Ortiz
>if we don't occupy Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and prop up Israel indefinitely, you will become poor and ISIS will take over the world, goyim
I don't even know how to respond to your multi-directional schizophrenia. Keep it to a salient point, kiddos.
Andrew Nelson
>why do global empires fight seemingly random wars all over the place? ask the British, the Dutch, the French, the Spanish, and the Portugese. Let's not forget the Soviet disaster in Afghanistan as well.
