    Among the other crimes of this piece of nonsense: axes should have meanings.

    You can’t just put random words on a page and pretend it’s a graph.

    The “fuck around” axis has only one example of fucking around (“americans among hostages”) the rest is just a list of US military movements.

    The items on the “find out” axis don’t happen in that order and they happen independent of the items on the “fuck around” axis.

          It was a joke, referring to that axes could either be the plural of axis or the plural of axe.

    “A new government has already been decided upon”

    If only. The Gaza Strip is one of the handful of regions that could actually benefit from US regime change. Not because we’re good at it, but because the strip is so monumentally fucked as it is.

      The only way I think we could honestly do worse is if we built gas chambers or nuked them. I’m sure the US government will find a new way to fuck it up though.

        I’m expecting them to support a new “legitimate” government which will turn out to be worse than ISIL and join up with aliens to commit a multidimensional extermination of humans.

          The Monkey’s Paw curls. First contact is with an alien race with technology beyond our wildest dreams and the ability to solve all our problems. However, it turns out they were the inspiration for Christianity and due to a very crucial passage of the Bible describing a ritual to be registered in their database of “saved souls” having been lost to time, no one is saved.

        If the US can become the common enemy that finally unites all the various factions then that seems like a real improvement for the region. Maybe not for the US, though.

      Don’t forget Afganistan and Korea! We do so well when we go to places we are not welcome and do not have significant shared cultural ancestry from and try to get someone who likes us in there to run things.

      I mean yeah but Vietnam didn’t go great for the Vietnamese either. “The US is getting involved in your war” is bad even if you win because “dropped more bombs on your tiny Asian country than were dropped in all of WW2 and then gave up and withdrew” is a pretty goddamned Pyrrhic victory.

        Agreed … but if your options are death, destruction and subjugation … or fight endlessly until you get anything out of it … it’s a sight to behold how the Vietnamese even still exist today.

        A single lifetime might seem insignificant … but in the long run … even empires do fall.

    All those tax dollars could’ve given you a better healhcare and more of a functional society. And the middle east might have been better off without funding israel.

      America doesn’t need those tax dollars to fund better healthcare. Medicare for all would cost less than the current system does.

      Shit take. American healthcare does NOT suffer from a lack of funding. The amount of money isn’t the problem. In fact, we pay more than what free healthcare for all would cost.
