    Hahahahhaha OMG. Yeah once the whole pew pew part of the insurrection is over and you actually take over the government, the whole running the government part isn’t as fun now ain’t it?

    What a bunch of idiots.

      The weird thing is that they used to be in power, before the 9/11 American “freedom spreading” spree in the region.

          That’s not what happened,

          The US sent Pakistan materials to supply to local Mujihideen to provide support to the US assisting the Northern Alliance, AKA the guys they were later supporting against the Taliban once the Taliban basically all but chartered the planes for Bin Laden.

          You’d be amazed how many of america’s problems in the region trace in some way back to “Pakistan did it.”

          Like it’s not unreasonable to guess that Kissinger croaked because his old heart couldn’t take how America’s foreign policy was becoming way more aligned with those “commies” in India after just a few terrorisms and genicides on Pakistan’s part.

            With the help of the US, of course, as is often the case when atrocities occur around the world…

              Your name is “Viking_Hippie”. I assume you’re embracing a Scandinavian heritage of some kind.

              Vikings committed atrocities all over Europe. Genetic studies of Icelandic people indicate that their Y chromosomes are from Scandinavia and their mitochondrial DNA is from Ireland. Mitochondrial DNA only comes from your mother (from the egg).

              Why do you think Iceland was settled by mainly Viking men and Irish women? Do you think those women willingly left their homes or did they leave at the point of a sword?

                I’m embracing the modern colloquial meaning of “lives in Scandinavia” (which I have since my birth 40 years ago), not the historical “commits atrocities” meaning.

                You’d think that people would come to that conclusion by doing just a minimum of research into colloquial uses of regional terms before accusing me of embracing the worst acts of my ancestors.

                If that’s too difficult, then maybe the second half, which is much more descriptive about how I am when not discussing politics with idiots online, would be a bit of a clue 🤦

      It does go to show that people sometimes don’t think ahead. They seem to have only ever considered the present and now reality hit them in the face lol. Similar happened to Trump when he was elected and suddenly had to…you know…work.
