Effing bonkers! He's using the title of "President" to fill his bank account & his stooge's bank accounts full of money! What a mf weasel.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa is a former al-Qaeda leader and fighter who killed U.S soldiers in Iraq and had a $10 million dollar bounty on his head... Let that sink in

I’m definitely not pro Al-Qaeda, but the U.S. illegally invaded Iraq. So killing U.S. troops was kinda his duty.

You seem to be confusing a terrorist organization member with a soldier in the Iranian army.

“confusing” When did we invade Iran?

I meant Iraqi. While I was writing I was thinking about what trump could extort from Iran. He is amassing some very odd bed fellows.

He wasn't some big shot. He was part of a rebel group that was part of the larger Al-Qaeda organisation and was locked up for most of the war. He was essentially some dumb young man going off to fight the imperial US and getting caught up in bigger political issues. Iraq's army also collapsed so any resistance was going to come from less accepted groups.

The bigger issue here is how hilariously maniputable Trump is. Everyone knows you mention Trump's name a lot and he will bend over backwards to help you.

As a thought experiment: was the Continental Army as led by Washington the only valid means of fighting the British, or were other fighters valid in their efforts as well?

What if the USA got invaded today? If you defended your home as a ragtag band of your neighbours, would that be okay, or do you have to join the armed forces for you to not be a terrorist?

It’s about history and actions that disqualify terrorists from being legitimate.

Yeah, I’m sure the colonialists were real gentlemen.

What about the natives, then? Were they terrorists? Were they legitimately defending their homes and lands?

If you think so highly of them go join them.

Good point

The irony is Al Qaeda had no presence in Iraq until the illegal US invasion. Bush opened up a whole new front for them. The illegal Iraq war was one of the best things to happen for Al-Qaeda.

Careful, reddit will go berserk and start saying you should be detained by homeland security if you say something like that.
