I think it specifically referred to al queda or Iraq or whoever but yeah. Besides random terror attacks the idea of pretty anyone being able to truly project power in any meaningful sense to require us to “fight them over here” presumably in the streets or whatever is just, well like I said, preposterous. Whoever or whatever “they” might be.
This also precludes that “fighting them over there” will not itself create an deep-seated hatred of the united states in countries with now-unstable governments, radicalizing more people to a point they would be capable of committing terrorism on US soil, not less.
What I mean to say is that if I’m an Iraqi who grew up with my country being ravaged by a war it had nothing to do with in the first place, I’m going to blame the united states.
