THAT KILLING THEM ALL WILL NOT GET RID OF THEMWar is what creates terrorism! War is what caused ISIS to form!
And what the fuck does Trump and the GOP think will happen if they start a war with North Korea?
Do they think, if the leader is killed then the country can be liberated? Nope. The majority of the country is gaslighted to believe America is the true enemy. If we go bomb them out of nowhere, GUESS WHAT THAT WILL PROVE TO THEM?
Do they think, the country will welcome liberation with open arms? NOPE. The loyal population will develop, I betcha, ANOTHER TERRORIST GROUP!

He knew that we left Afghanistan with a high population of children, whose fathers, uncles, brothers had been killed fighting the war against the Soviet Union essentially, on our behalf was a recipe for the terrorism we have seen since. Fundamentalists who would become terrorists never let those children forget it.
Those who know and understand what we have done are not vocal enough because it's considered unamerican, and therefore dangerous politically, to take responsibility for the dumb things our government has done.
