CatherineM Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 We were discussing today how screwed up some countries that used to be British colonies are. I've thought many times that the way they pulled out their forces/control, whatever you want to call it, was specifically designed for maximum conflict after the fact. It's as if they wanted people to understand that the only reason they had colonized was to control the savages. When a country can't control its border, and there is a war going on next door, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that there is going to be some spill over. Now the US is going to have to decide if they are going to seriously press this across the border. Pakistan is looking an awful lot like Laos right now.

Winchester Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Buy powerful military leaders with large, untraceable accounts. Establish a loyal puppet regime. Also, spray enemies with pork fat before bombing them. Psychological warfare should include faked footage of captured Tallies eating hotdogs and proclaiming their loyalty to Scientology and Tom Cruise.

Lounge Daddy Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Boy, it's one thing when the monsters in leadership positions are friendly toward our government... especially when we support them. We'd better intervene and put another puppet dictator in place and make sure that the next one has more power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except when the population finially overthrows the devil we crawled into bed with and, being they are just not that stupid as to be oblivious as to who was propping up that despot, decide they don't like us that much. It's kind of like some people don't appreciate an ecternal force playing god with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
