    The way we fight terrorists is to decapitate the head of their organization. Pretty soon No one wants to be boss anymore.

    how long is “pretty soon”? 50+ years?

    also, the US doesn’t so much “fight terrorists” as it trains, arms and finances them to destabilize regions near US geopolitical rivals, and then get real shocked when all that blows back on US civilians. though it does seem to work up little baby brains into shoveling more money, bones, and blood into the military industrial complex. so maybe it’s a win-win?

      Hmm, that sounds familiar ukkkraine

      and then get real shocked when all that blows back on US civilians.

      I’m sure that definitely won’t happen though.
