      Ha you were conclusively proven wrong and didn’t even blink. A brain so smooth no facts can get stuck on it.

      spoiler

      Post another 🤓 “I was on the debate team” graphic, that’s how discussions work

        oh, you mean here?

        the US didn’t give a shit about it at all

        ya got me there. they did care. still doesn’t prove that it’s why the US was there, and, in fact, several of the linked sources directly state to the contrary against claims that it was.

        too bad it’s meaningless and - like always - you’re wrong. lmao

        They were directly responding to your words, to disprove them.

        except they didn’t disprove them. US Marines also peed a lot while they were there, but it’s not why they are there. it proves nothing.

        Do you really not see the connection between the comments?

        correlation ≠ causation

          You selectively picked an activity that American soldiers would do everywhere (peeing) over something they did only in Afghanistan (guarding opium fields) only because it would support your argument.

          That my dear good m’sir is a classic case of cherry picking.

      This flew over your head but it is heavily implied that the US’ “war on opium” was in fact a deliberate effort to subsidize opium production and transport, a policy that we have pursued for the benefit of our own state-backed terror organizations in many other countries. Regardless of all other opinions on the US and the Taliban, this is an issue that the Taliban is objectively better than us on, and saying “lol who cares” is not an argument against talking about it since obviously the people in this thread care because they’re in here talking about it.

          You know we are leftists here. You can just say you are into your wife sleeping with other men. We respect a diversity of lifestyles. You don’t have to do the whiskey overcompensation persona thing here. We can accept and respect who you are.

            you have a talent for self-contradictory speech. the way you mix the word “respect” with overflowing disrespect, how you espouse leftism and diversity while speaking the sexism and misogyny of a fascist… it’s artful.
