And someone mentioned this beginning around WWI yesterday. A lot of this goes back a very long time. Groups like ISIS think about these things while Americans continue to ignore the deeper historical context and look for quick and easy macho military solutions through military hardware.

Damn near everything really bad thing that happened in the 20th century happened as a consequence of WWI and how the winning powers divided up the spoils and assigned reparations.

We’re still paying for it today, and will keep paying as far as the eye can see.
