You can beat around the bush as much as you can but fact remains the same people who are responsible of this suicide bombing and killing of innocents (aka Talibans and Alqaeeda) did not exist before the USSR war when USA decided to create the monsters and them dump it!
That is a very simple view of how the world works. Do you actually believe the US is why they believe they go to heaven for “jihad”?
Stinger missiles have nothing to do with a jihadist walking into a bazaar with explosives. The core problem is the belief that they are doing god’s work. That has 0 to do with the US.
What caused the application to change? What are the sources the Taliban and Al-Qaeda and the dozens of other jihadi groups rely upon to “justify” their terrorism? None of these things have to do with “kafir” countries.
Islamism was created in the 1920’s (when the US had had a military the size of Hungary and isolated itself from foreign affairs). The current concept of global jihad–while having centuries old roots (before the US even existed)–to impose shariah across the world was promulgated by Pakistan’s Mawudidi, Egypt’s Al-Banna and Qutb and later Khomenini in Iran. Suicide bombing was invented by the Hindu Tamil Tigers and it was introduced into the Islamic world by guess who? Yes, Khomenini. Let me guess: Khomenini introduced suicide bombing (early 80’s), gave it religious sanction, used it against the US because the US told him to? Suicide bombing became common by Sunni groups in the 90’s–after the Afghan war ended.
This person has zero credibility. The US was not friendly with the Taliban. It, like every country in the world except 3 (Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE) did not even recognize the Taliban.
The $43 million was in humanitarian aid. The US gives Gaza some money for humanitarian purposes. Does that mean the US supports Hamas?
This doesn’t pass the smell test. Wasn’t the classic complaint that the US abandoned Afghanistan?
