Its about stability. Its not lot they chose the particular warlord, but they ddestabilize the are knowing some warlord will take over, then use that warlord as justification for military intervention, then destabilize the area. Rinse and repeat. That's why Africa and the middle east are all third world. Its not because they are primitive. We aren't better than them. Its not because of crazy religious wars. Its because the world powers keep the regions destabilized for various reasons. -Yuri
They were already destabilized, they overthrew their leader, turned into anarchy, then a civil war was waged all on their own, 300,000 people died, all without the United States. The U.S. was making headway by helping their starving people and trying to set up a government body and a police force, but the warlords resisted because they were about to lose their power even though everything had improved. The local markets thrived, the streets were peaceful, tribal elders held meetings to work out their differences peacefully. Police stations and courts reopened. Then when the U.S. forces left, they ambushed the Pakistanis, and black-hawk happened, the forces left and dysfunction continued. Tribal warfare is the root cause of all of it, in Africa thats everything. You can be killed just for being around the wrong clan, thats the way its always been. Just look at what happened in Rwanda when the U.S. DIDNT intervene. Sure the U.S. has probably funded the warlords to take out terrorists, which has exacerbated the tribal warfare, but these conflicts have been going on for centuries and will continue too.
honestly can't argue at this point All I can say is I might be overly pessimistic but at the ssame time I feel you are too optimistic I have a hard time believeing the us.government gives 2 fucks about the starving people except during elections -Yuri
I wouldn't call it generosity if a return is expected. Be rest assured anything they do is expected to yield a positive result. Its not like we are out there helping the world out if the goodness of our heart. -Yuri
Lol please just stop. Theyve been doin aid relief in Africa for years for nothing, malaria, aids, ebola, food, water, all for free. I could go on but this aint goin anywhere.
