    Nevermind mind the fact the war on terror was something the US came up with and then badly fucked that up. Dude’s not even a competent troll.

      From the POV of the US, I’d argue that the war on terror was a rousing success. They got the surveillance state they wanted.

        War on Drugs caused drugs to become more available, more potent, and cheaper.

        War on Terror has created entirely new terrorist organizations.

        Could we have a War on Wealth?

          I mean, based on these other examples, it seems like a real monkey’s paw situation. We’d probably just get a few more asshat billionaires out of it.
