    The hunt for bin Laden is truly one of the funniest things to happen this century

    The US funds and trains the dude, he gives simple request to fuck off, the US refuses, he kills 3000 people.

    Then they spent 10 years and trillions of dollars and millions of Muslim lives to find him. They finally killed him while he was sleeping and refuse to publish any footage of the killing.

    Meanwhile, his death unleashed dozens of terrorist attacks in Europe, dozens of new ISIS factions in Africa, Middle East, and Asia.

    I know the US’ goal is to permanently stay in these regions, but the optics are so pathetic. You can’t kill a man and when you did, the consequences were worse.

      yeah the wildest thing to me is how they allegedly just dumped his body into the gulf. like there's no proof at all that they actually killed him, no leaked photos or anything, which combined with all the people claiming they were the one who killed him just leaves it wide open to conspiracy theories. I remember where I was when they announced he was dead, almost 10 years after 9/11, and it felt like no one here in the US really cared then and it feels like no one really cares now. the war machine just keeps on chugging along
