How to completely decimate the hope of a nation

[The Comrade]

we were told to f**k off once gadaffi was killed by the libyans. we offered to stay and help.

Like Iran, Iraq, Libya and Syria next?

US foreign policy, that clinton wholeheartedly embraces, is a flat out disaster. The successful policies of the post WWII period have long been abandoned. Also Europe, Japan and South Korea are not like the middle east, They're just about complete polar opposites.

Clinton serves the MI(S)C. She wants power, money and a penis. She knows how to get it and she goes after it with vigor and zeal. She will say anything she has to, to any crowd she speaks to, to get elected. Up to and including using a fake southern accent. What a f**k bitch.

Just like the title of this topic, all hope is lost. There is very little to choose from to decide which evil is lesser. But imho, shillary is pure evil.

I'm not so sure that post-WW2 Japan isn't a close approximation of the ME.

Religious zealousness - check.
Non-Western values - check.
Willingness to die (needlessly) for a cause - check.

There are more parallels, but I think you get my drift.

However, there is one very big problem with comparing the two. Japan had a huge manufacturing base that became an industry on which to build an economy, and they found willing trade partners in the US and abroad. I can't think of one single thing that a place like Afghanistan makes that we need. We occupied Japan and helped them rebuild their industrial base and it benefited the US in return. We worked together, and became close allies. I can't see us working with the Afghani people to build anything similar.

So, while the parallels are there, I'm not entirely sure that they effect the final outcome - that being, "do your best to not become involved".

Not sure of your context and any of Japan's similarities matter very little.

But I would suggest to withdraw and not get involved at all. Shed and avoid all entangling alliances like the plague.

Americans should go to other parts of the world as tourists with cameras instead of soldiers with guns. The results may be surprising.

That is the only shelter you have left. Poor little thing.

Clinton wants "money, power, and a penis"?

See...this is where I lose all patience with the derangement. Of course she wants money and power (and status)...every egomaniacal type-A workaholic nutcase who would actually want that shitty job wants money and power. But a penis? Honestly wtf.

This little comment is telling. But its ok. Insecure men feeling threatened and emasculated by powerful women is an oft studied phenomenon. Well understood and extensively written on. Women have long found themselves forced to find creative ways to work around these scared shitless little dudes...to try to preserve their effectiveness in their roles without withering and depleting this subset of their male colleagues and underlings with their mere presence.

The terror and "pure evil" as you put it that today is associated with pastel pantsuits goes back throughout history and especially into myth and legend. Its nothing new. Some men have been terrified of women since before we could properly distinguish between weather patterns and divinity.

There are plenty of reasons to be grossed out by Hillary Clinton...but her penis envy, penis, or lack thereof are laughably irrelevant to anything at all, and the way she is met with suspicion, fear, and outrage for behaviors that would be actually celebrated in a man is f**k textbook
