The WoT is going to (surprise, surprise) be taken care of mostly by hired guns. Factions and governments that we arm secretly to fight our wars for us.
U.S troops will be "bravely" serving as FedEx for arms that will be distributed to the lowest scum of the earth.
Sound familiar?
Of course it does. We are just continuing our classic pattern of funding, arming and traning assholes around the world. 15 years from now, we'll all ask yet again "How did they get all those weapons?" when we're faced with the prospect of fighting them, and the answer will be the same...the U.S government supplied them with everything they have and everything they know.
We've funded these groups before, and we're gonna do it again. Only this time it won't be to create an enviornment that is sutible for U.S businesses to operate in - which is the usual, well-documented goal of most of our operations. Now, it's to fight terrorism with factions and governments that are far from freedom-loving, that will most likely end up going to war with us eventually.
Stupidity reigns supreme yet again.
The U.S is too cowardly to fight its own battles and has to rely on next year's enemies to do it for them.
Today's freedom fighter is tomorrow's terrorist.
It has nothing to do with the tactics the groups or governments use, but by whether or not they are serving Washington. This has been proven coutless times througout history.
Here we go again.
