War on drugs - drugs won
War on terror - terror won
War on woke - 🤞
It's never been about defeating those things, it's about expanding power using them as an excuse.
Exactly.
War on Drugs - reduce minority voice in government
And increase incarceration of certain people to expand legal slavery under the 13th amendment.
expand legal slavery
Maybe in some states, but in many (most?), they just become a burden on taxpayers.
War on poverty 😬
Considering how tired and sleepy I feel, they may be winning this one.
interesting
His one job was to create profit for weapons manufacturers and he did that job very very well
His job was to do Israel’s bidding and remove Saddam.
Saddam and his family were genuinely awful, to be fair.
Yes, but that’s not really why they removed him.
Plenty of horrible people ruling countries that America has no interest in removing as it doesn’t suit their needs.
Yeah, like Russia...
You're right, they don't go in and remove every dictator, and this one was because they had an ulterior motive.
Nonetheless, they did a good thing.
I always say, I celebrate Saddam getting fucked hard while still realizing the whole thing was fucked up. Especially since it was lead by a moron / lunatic
That's a nice side effect.
Declaring war on a concept has never gone well for the states, has it? Drugs, terror, women, the list goes on.
The war against woman is sadly going strong right now. More than drugs and etc ever has.
Declaring war on a concept has never gone well ~~for the states~~, has it?
Ftfy.
Matter of perspective. Ask halliburton how's it going...
Vietnam
The US isn't known for winning wars historically.
Seems like it has worked pretty well:
With the right perspective, they seem pretty successful to me, you just need to peek behind the curtain.
Declaring war on anything. They need the Europeans to invite them to the final hours of one to chalk a W.
I'm holding out hope that we can still turn it around and defeat Santa Claus
Just like the "war on drugs" was never about stopping drugs, this was never about stopping terrorism.
When you wage a war on an enemy, you win when the enemy is dead. When you wage a war on an idea, there's no final end point.
No, man! He said war OF Terror...
Borat fan?
What is anon complaining about he did his job. He declared the war. Then he kicked the can down the road for someone else to get the job of winning it.
New skill unlocked: "Lie with energy and in a few years fact checking becomes diabolical."
First they funded, supported, and grew the terrorism, and THEN, they fought the terrorism. Then they funded other terrorists. But it's always in countries with natural resources they want.
Are we really going back this far, right at this moment?
Mate, I was traumatised when Dragonball z and Pokémon were interrupted before school and this dude was on all the TV stations.
Nothing has been any good sense.
Gonna be honest, the idiom/meme "had one job" is almost never correct or appropriate and the role of president is certainly a situation where it does not apply. I find it irksome, most of the time, when people say/type it, without actually thinking things through and applying it appropriately. Don't care if it is an unpopular opinion because it is a fact that it is used incorrectly the vast majority of the time and haters gonna hate, only true appreciators gonna appreciate.
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
