Problem Solved: It's Not "Forever Wars";

You can't go around bombing the shit out of countries with 30,000 pound bombs and don't expect a reaction from the bombed country.

Warmongering amateurs, not a good combination for foreign policy directors.

Straight up bafflegab. You better know they'll retaliate, whether it's bombs or terrorism. Be afraid, little boy. Be very afraid.
