Why do I get the feeling there is a larger tactic to all of this in play now? it's like a sheep herding tactic in action or something.
Like I'm guessing they took the intelligence, ran a bunch of scenarios and guesstimated the entire war from start to finish like a chess game, including where they would regroup, knowing they'd wind up in yemen at some point. This all just may be a bunch of chess moves to destabilize the entire middle east for U.S. acquisition at some point. I don't think the powers that be in the U.S. are simply going to be like "oh hey Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, we've dumped BILLIONS on you for our "humanitarian effort" to free your people from an oppressive tyrant, and spent over 8 years on killing insurgents who've launched like one successful attack on American soil ever. a minor threat compared to people who actually have standing military forces. But hey, when we kill him, we'll totally withdraw and just pay off this debt, pat ourselves on the back, and say it was justified national debt in the name of humanitarism"
Nah, they want to OWN that shit, sorry, we're going to own some of the middle eastern territories when this finally ends.
Right now, mentally, I think it's just an "us vs them" mentality and we want to take them for everything they have, and punish the governments of the countries who let it grow inside their borders by taking over and figuring out ways to profit from it to recoup our "Investment" in to this war.
Long term, it almost seems like they'd have to, cuz they've racked up so much debt that our current economic power just can't cash the checks they're writing right now.
