Rules:
Rule 0. Comments must be on topic, off topic comments lead to immediate ban. Off topic comments are any comments that will lead to diverging from the post's topic. If you want to discuss something post about it.
Rule 1. No refutation without a source. Any bias against MENA sources could lead to a ban if not backed with evidence. The burden of proof is on you.
Rule 2. This community is first and foremost for people from the region. Foreigners trying to justify military intervention or genocide are not welcomed.
Breaking of these rules may result in a 500-3000 day ban.
If someone there managed to sink a US warship, the US will invade and destroy everything in the area in response. That is an escalation no one wants. They're attacking civilian shipping because they can't fight back effectively.
The US destroyed Afghanistan in retaliation for 9/11 and they didn't even have anything to do with it.
The Afghans won and the US left humiliated in the end. Not a bad outcome.
