		<description><![CDATA[“If you kill your enemies, they win.”

Absolutely. That&#039;s how the Germans beat the Russians in WW2, and how we lost to the Japanese.

It&#039;s also why the South won the Civil War [now I have your attention !]. 

&quot;This will inflame your ____ to____&quot;

As it happens, we the fighting caste are stepping away, so y&#039;all can show us how it&#039;s done.

Perhaps you can make a good death, but I doubt it. 

All you wanted &#039;was to be left alone?&quot; Right?

Congratulations, you are. 

You&#039;re.Alone.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It would be extremely easy for the United States to eradicate the population of Afghanistan. USAID could then be repurposed to the task of causing the births of as many white children as possible in Kabul et al. The high-tech, &quot;soft&quot; approach would be to use the Federal Reserve&#039;s bottomless well of freshly printed dollars to induce Afghani women to carry American IVF babies to term. It&#039;s important to understand that the NGO Global Complex isn&#039;t IVF&#039;ing the world because it is too moral to do so—see &quot;COVID&quot; and a million other deliberate poisonings—but because it is owned and operated by haters of America and haters of Americans.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“If you kill your enemies, they win.”

If Israelis kill a lower-class Arab youth, the Arab poverty pimps and religious fanatics get more political support from lower-class Arabs in general. Similarly, if a US troop shoots an Afghan goat-herder, Afghans collectively hate the US a little bit more, and the anti-US Afghan leaders get more political support. 

“War is about…(c) sending your domestic adversaries to go die doing it for you.”

A relatively poor and fanatical community can send its lower-class males to get killed. It does not endanger survival of the community, and it entrenches the powerful ruling class of that community.  So part (c) is the flip side of “If you kill your enemies, they win.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is it a success story?  What strategic objective has it accomplished which could not have been achieved by pre-existing or less resource intensive means?  When someone says that an investment is “successful”, this is a claim about opportunity cost. Why doesn’t anyone ever measure military “successes” based on opportunity cost?  Blowing up the target is not a success if you could have achieved an equally valuable strategic goal without blowing it up.]]></description>
