Was Afghanistan all for nothing?

Here's one off the top of my head though:

Back when he was potus ISIS was running rampant across the ME torturing and/or murdering just about everyone they came across.

When they captured a foreign downed pilot (I forget what country he was from) they soaked him in gasoline, put him in a small cage, and set him on fire and let him burn to death; they also posted video footage of it online so just about all of us who weren't living under a rock saw it, except for those who didn't have the stomach for watching it.

In response to that, Obama commented at some kind of get-together (can't remember exactly where it took place; WH I assume) ceremony with hundreds of people attending that (and I'm paraphrasing here) "...before we get on our high horse, let's not forget about what Christians did during the Crusades. They did horrible things in the name of Christ."

This pissed off many of us who have Christian beliefs, and rightly so. It is not the kind of comment someone who is a true Christian would make right after ISIS (who is a muslim group) burned a man alive and posted it on internet for world to see.

What the hell does some shit that happened over 900 years ago (at least) have to do with ISIS pieces of shit burning a man alive in the current time? Nothing, absolutely nothing.

In effect, he was downplaying the evils of Islam and tearing down Christianity (even though real Christianity had jack squat to do with crusades; it was roman catholics, not Christians I don't give a shit what anyone says). This is far from being the only example of him to seemingly favor Islam over Christianity though. There were many more.

And yes, I know this post is gonna make certain snowflakes here lose their shit but so what? It's the truth.

Obama snubbing Christians like that in favor of Islam over and over again is one of the major things that gave rise to Donald Trump as President.

Leftists hate admitting that it was Obama's talk and actions that created the right conditions for a Trump presidency, but it's the cold hard truth.

It wasn't just about him favoring Islam over Christianity though. It was tons of other stuff as well from Obama and the left in general that led to the populist wave that got Trump elected.

So, Obama is sympathetic to Islam, that doesn’t mean he is.

You believe whatever you like.

Trumpanzee spotted

Obama bombed the crud out of Muslims.

So he must be a super fanatical terrorist Muslim who bombs his own people.

He’s not even Arabic!

Really? Thats the reason for people voting Trump in? Wow. Youre so educational.

There I was thinking its because the American people were fed up of corporate stooges in the government over taxing working people and letting the rich walk tax free, while making them richer through imperialist wars and outsourcing American jobs. I honestly thought it was because Fake Trump pretended he was going to change all that.

Don’t forget immigration!

Yeah that too.

But apparently it was none of that. It was solely because Obama compared ISIS to the Crusaders one time.

We are so blessed to have Ethneo educating us on the truth of what matters to Americans!

Trump said Obama created isis. Now I do get as commander in chief he’s somewhat accountable, but putting the whole blame on him is mental.

Oh, excuse me. Obama and Hillary I meant... and Bush too. Yes, Trump was right. They did create ISIS.

I'd put that much more on Bush and Blair for the war in Iraq. ISIS didn't exist before Iraq.

In fact I'm almost certain ISIS predates Obama as President.

It was the Arab uprising in 2011 because bin Ladin was killed. Technically Obama was just carrying out a bush policy, but yeah he did confess to doing 911. Anyway, you can really trace his terrorist shit way further back.

Well according to Wiki history:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_State_of_Iraq_and_the_Levant#History

they were officially formed in 1999 but openly declared sectarian war in 2004.

I remember the first I heard of them was the first beheading of an American in Iraq. I remember because a Christian friend of mine sent it me asking how can Islam justify this. Before I saw it I was like, well what do you expect with the you know the bombing and occupying and stuff, thinking it was the killing of a military contractor.

Then he was like "just watch it and tell me". So I saw it and was like - WTF!!!!!

Clinton bombed Sudan back in the 90s because bin laden was organizing terror attacks there. Clinton also bombed a hospital there… oops. But, this can go even further back like when al qaeda tried to bomb the wtc in 93… or the shit in the 70s.

ISIS is much much worse than Al-Qaeda though.

Yeah the beheadings.

I would love to know what people think Trump (or anyone else) was realistically going to do about Afghanistan.

I mean, other than hunting down the Taliban (which in itself is not guaranteed to work), or staying there (not practical), what other option was there? The people didn't care about defending their lands, have no loyalty to their country, and were part of a severely corrupt military.

Well the argument was invading Pakistan, the problem with that was they have nuclear weapons.
