The war on terrorism is really over. What we have now is a war on brigands and thugs, pirates and paedophiles who lay claim to affiliation with Al Queda and ISIL in the same way that Sunni’s are affiliated with Shiite.
The war in Afghanistan is not a war against terrorism unless you believe that terrorism is akin to gang warfare. Each group is as corrupt as each other, not even the Afghan government can lay claim to be honest and without corruption. Our troops are fighting, and dying, to protect one group of hoods and thugs against an opposing gang of crooks. Drug Lords rule and we aid and abet them.
The equivalent in Australia would be Malcolm Turnbull sending in the Police against the Bandido’s whilst employing Hells Angels for Diplomatic Security. Even the Afghan Police shoot us. We went into Iraq (which is still in a state of quasi civil war) and Afghanistan at the behest of the United States. Even they believe now that they really f@$^* it all up but can’t get out of it to save face. The Astonisher will predict now that after western forces leave within 1-2 years the Taliban will be back in power, stronger and more well armed, thanks to Iran and Syria, and will again begin to threaten the safety and security of other countries.
The Astonisher will also predict that Pakistan will be close allies to the Taliban led Afghan Government just to spite India and that leaves us with the potential of Radical Islam sending whole countries to Paradise with a big Nuclear Bang. If you think North Korea is crazy wait till you see what the Taliban gets up to once in power.
How many billions have we spent fighting for these c*^%# when we could have put it into our health system, how many trillions will America spend on armaments and explosive drones while millions of their own citizens live in abject poverty.
The war on terror was a political construct, revenge for 9/11 used as an excuse to enforce America’s power over that part of the world. The biggest Army in the world cannot and will never win Afghanistan or any other war it sticks its nose into while the citizens of the country they invade don’t want them there. The war on terror has done more for the military-industrial complex of America, Russia and England, France, and maybe even China for all we know.
It’s Australia’s iron ore and uranium that is helping them to construct weapons of terror, that when in the hands of the terrorists (which is about as easy for them as going to the local Market) will be turned against us.
The war on terrorism is over. Now it is the Western World just profiting from our own naivity and gullibility that is keeping it going. Two words sum it all up ‘who benefits?’
