One of the biggest problems I see are the everyday Americans themselves. They are so stupid that they tow the line between Republicans and Democrats. Either sides fails to holds their party responsible for their bullshits.
Both fail to realize, both R/D are run by big donors. In front of the cameras both sides plays the hate game. But behind the cameras they are both owned by the same group.
When we invaded Afghanistan, Americans were all for it, they believe it he lie. They believe the Afghans needed freedom, yet they failed to realize you can’t give freedom, you have to fight for it. And if this last month has proven anything, the Afghans doesn’t care much for freedom. They proved that by given up to the Taliban so easily.
I was in Afghanistan for 9 months, and the shits I saw there was sickening. One of them being a woman was disfigured by acid because her husband said she was being unfaithful. He had no proof by the way. She basically became the village leper, and the only reason she wasn’t killed was because the Afghan police told the village not to hurt her.

So in the UK, when was the last time you saw a man threw acid in his wife face because he believed her to have cheated and nothing was done about it?
