WHATS THAT? THE CAUSED GOP CAUSED 9/11?

The GOP caused Al-Qaeda by killing the founder’s friends

It’s really sad - back on 9/11, I thought “That’s horrible! What kind of evil country could hate us so much they’d want to attack our civilians!?”
Now, if another 9/11 happens, I may just shrug and think “…Yeah…we’re America. We deserve it.”
CalipherJones@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
9/11 is a fraction of a fraction of the horror the U.S has unleashed on other countries.
America is a den of self righteous fuckwits.

Whatever happened to, “If I were President, the war would never have happened”
Or is that just a talking point he made up.

I feel less and less sad for people in the USA as time goes on because of exactly what you say. How did they not see it coming? HOOOOOW? And how did a third push for it, a third sorta try to help, and the other third maybe or maybe not just still doesn’t even know what’s happening?

No no no that’s Russia and Ukraine, which is Biden’s fault.

He said that repeatedly on and off the campaign trail, and later as President during this term, regarding the Russia-Ukraine war. As if him being President then would have in any way changed Putin’s decision to invade.

That’s why right wing social media is going had on making Iran the bad guys and evil.
So even though they don’t want war and are currently complaining about the thought of it, they’ll bend over for it in short time.
The mental gymnastics will be amazing.
Gotta save money. Government needs to cut everything including any social care. But also needs to spend more on deporting babies with cancer.
And you know moving an expeditionary force around the world isn’t cheap either.
CalipherJones@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
The money goes to the war hawks, not the teenagers that actually end up fighting and dying. That’s why it keeps happening. People in power put a price and bodies and they’re entirely happy with the payout. Doesn’t cost them a drop of sweat, an inkling of blood, a modicum of effort. Just sign here and unleash those kids to the grinder. Sweet sweet money comes from their deaths. How honorable.

I’m pretty sure Americans are gobbling up the media narrative of “Iran has nukes and the girls aren’t educated”
Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
They don’t educate the girls. that makes it ethical to nuke the girls.
Westoid warmongering logic
like in gaza where “they are mean to gays” so it is OK to genocide all the gays in there
echodot@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
I don’t know why they’re trying to push this narrative that Iran having nuclear weapons is somehow more bad for Western society than, for example, North Korea having nuclear weapons.
They’re acting as if no hostile power has ever had nuclear weapons before.
AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
Something like 70% of gradates in STEM fields in Iran are women. Their economy can’t absorb the skilled labors because of the sanctions though, but that is their goal: To hinder democracy and a middle class that wouldn’t want to sell out to the west. What the US and Israel is doing is meant to do the opposite of what leftists want for Iran. And war is certainly not going to make any of this better.
WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Simple. Let’s let them just have their nukes, on the condition that their program be run entirely by female nuclear scientists!

FYI, Israelis aren’t allowed to leave Israel now, because playing the victim card requires using them as human shields. 9/11 was greatest US empire boost over Americans in history, and DNC firmly backs war and empire enslavement of Americans.

Is that why he said he will declare his decision in two weeks, they need time to set it up
CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Everything is ‘2 weeks’. It’s the only time frame he gives. Probably read somewhere that the news cycle is only 2 weeks so he thinks everyone will forget by then. (They will.)
Outwit1294@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
I still believe 9/11 was an inside job to shift public sentiment and justify a war.
TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
Meh, I don’t think there’s a need for conspiracy for 9/11 to be a legitimate terrorist attack. It gives too much credit to Bush and his ilk and down plays the political blowback of the US’s interventional history in the Middle East.
The term “never let a good crisis go to waste” has been around for a while.
Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Just as a random btw:
wiki/The_Lone_Gunmen_(TV_series)In the pilot episode, which aired March 4, 2001 (exactly six months and one week prior to the September 11 attacks[5]), rogue members of the U.S. government remotely hijack an airliner flying to Boston, planning to crash it into the World Trade Center, and let anti-American terrorist groups take credit, to gain support for a profitable new war following the Cold War. The heroes ultimately override the controls, foiling the plot.
kingofras@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Your assumptions preventing from giving this serious consideration:
- Bush or Americans were behind 9/11
- there has been any blowback for any of the staged military conflicts since WWII?
I’ll put the TLDR here: 911 was a brazen cascade foreign intelligence agency assault on the United States. The president and the cabinet were made aware of the impending attack. The attack A three stage attack comprising of wtc pentagon and the capitol. The demand was to start wars and at least outlined by Netanyahu in previous months and years in front of the UN security council. First Afghanistan, then Iraq then Syria than Lebanon and Iran. After each attack occurred to stop the other planes or let them reach their destination.
Most likely the US was also told that these were Arabs doing this, And that this foreign intelligence agency could stop them at any moment if they agreed to their terms.
Every year since 911, With every action on every front and the Middle East, including the genocide and the US backed insurgency of Syria, one can see this plan come to fruition.
Consider:
- US has been a nuclear superpower since 1944.
- The USA did not just win WWII, And performed a military annexation of mainland Europe. This meant that the most free thinking and democratic part of the world will always think twice before criticising their ‘ally’
- If you’re a massive country but not US aligned, how do you military strategise against that? China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, not to mention the some off the other allies would all have made various attempts and some successful to infiltrate the country they can’t attack without risking the end of the world. You think they sat still for half a century? The US is an active culture ending threat if you’re not aligned with them.
- middle eastern policy has been dictated by a zionist death cult for decades if not centuries. They are very well funded, highly intelligent and organised and have their own spooks that can make any assassination look like an accident.
- for the longest time, the most common used method of an oppressor or aggressor is to either attack itself and pin the blame on the soon to be enemy, or to annoy the enemy enough and pester and poke them until they October 7 you (still make sure all border guards are down so they can do it unhindered)
- a bunch of barely trained pilots fly 4 airliners directly to their destination, perfectly synchronised all within the same couple of hours in the most heavily guarded airspaces in the world and with the most sophisticated airliners…
- the military just happens to be doing anti hijacking drills at the exact time of events
- 3 massive steel structure buildings collaping at near freefall speed (1, 2 and 7)
- the impact ring of the pentagon being enforced just months prior to the
missileplane hitting it. - no cctv footage of the plane hitting pentagon released till this day, bar a couple of video frames from one angle
- Sec Def announcement the day before that 2 trillion dollars of the military budget went missing
- the massive amount of quick actions that followed in the fog of war in the hours and days later, how and why wtc7 was brought down, why the steel was shipped to China without investigation
Your take is fine if you only briefly glance at it. Spend any more than 30 minutes on it and you’ll understand why we live in a clickbait, fast news distraction meme culture.
Understanding 9/11 is how I understand US foreign policy ever since. We’re living in Animal Farm, and the world has let the world’s bully do what it did out of gratitude for WWII and because you keep your worst enemy closer than your friends.
IndiBrony@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Inside job gives them too much credit, imo.
Fact is they already knew about Bin Laden and simply decided “you know, what if we just turned around for a second and, well, if something were to happen…?”
And to do that? A tiny budget cut here, a little policy shift there, and… kaboom!
Not so much that they planned anything themselves regarding the attack, they just lowered their guard enough to let it happen.
Meron35@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
The CIA produced many briefs for Bush warning about Bin Laden in 2001 before the actual attacks. Bush did not take any of these seriously, as summarised by one of his now infamous response “All right. You’ve covered your ass.”

In previous such cases they advertised the scenarios via news & movies/TV shows.

Why does Trump need an actual terrorist attack. He can just show up on TV, flash an AI generated face-melting re-edit of a scene from the TV show 24, announce “We are under attack and must respond immediately”, and fire up the bombers.
At this point, I bet you that you could show Trump a deep fried still-image meme and convince him that we need to strike back.
