Turns out, Bin Laden was right, we should have not become so deeply invested in the middle east like we have and should have left it. Militarily and essentially colonialism of territory for oil.
Not only was he right, but Bin Laden won, even if it killed him. The attack on 9/11 pulled out all the stops on ignorance, xenophobia, evangelicals in politics, the surveillance State, right-wing nationalism, and so much more. We wasted trillions of dollars on wars.
The attack was a slow burn that took 20 years to collapse an “empire.”
Hot take incoming.

The oil is just a nice bonus. What really drives the US wars are the weapons and ammunition sales
What better way to fight your enemies than selling them all armaments and watch them go at each other’s throat.
What really drives the US wars is pure evil.
FTFY.
