Not everything is black and white how its made out to be, not everything you are told is true, if we blindly follow things don't turn out well, look at the past history.
We got told the war in Afghanistan, Iraq etc was a good
We are told the war in Ukraine is bad
Why, what's the difference ?
All Wars are bad
Say what you like about Bush and Trump, but neither are dictators
"backing up the US" Uhhh, not really thats why the worlds most wanted religious fascist was found in their backyard....I get the feeling you dont really know what youre talking about.
This is a good article, its long but worth a read -

Really, Are you sure about that ?
Did bush not destroy a number of countries also a few other things just because he wanted ? he had the power to do it.
Where is that power now when its needed?
As for trump did you see the huge protest at the white house and everything else during his term ??
*the religious fascist was found in their backyard* All we know is what we got told we never got any real proof, it could be true but we don't know for sure 100%, (Boris said he was never at a party)
how would you know if someone is smuggled in, even the US does not know who comes it to their backyard with all the high tech. CCTV. boarders etc so on, how do you expect a place like Pakistan ?
If true Pakistan should have done better and dealt with it.
Afghanistan was a western looking, liberal society in the nineteen sixties. Then the clerics took over again, nothing to do with the USA at the time just some medieval interpretations of dress and behaviour by sad inadequate men.
I think the change started during and after the
Soviet–Afghan War it could have changed back we don't know but I do know the US had a hand making it worse even if people don't believe it, its the same for every other place they destroyed over the years,
Hopefully thing become better and the they can go back to how thing had been in the past for them 60s, long road ahead.
You know how things work, years of death, destruction, struggle, no finance, no hope and hatred can make people change for the worse and/or gives people with influence a lot of people to groom and manipulate
Just think about the US independence why it happened, what would happen if the same happened here in the UK or any other western nation?
Look at Ukraine and the war has only been on going a month and we have seen a lot more of whats happening.
Then you have the other issues that happened in the prisons and then you Guantanamo Bay and all of the issues connected with that. that was a breading ground for hated that created more issues ISIS for example
People with Power influence can manipulate people and things that's what I think.
after this war in Ukraine the people of Ukrainian will hate Russia for years to come and we will see some issues. its no different to Afghanistan other the time.
Hopefully this war end quickly.
Pakistan and the US have a hugely complex relationship and like Turkey they routinely play both/all sides and usually are too important strategically to lean on them too hard for it.
That is true but that can be said about a lot of places including the US.
they may have played both sides but that does not mean they also did not help the US.
Yes, hugely complex but I can also see one point of the other side, they share a boarder and they need to live with everything everyday, they already had some attacks, the US and everyone else does not, If they can kick the US army's ass what would happen to them and it people, its not a first world nation??
Would the US come to its defence ?
