Sooner or later , this has to end.

37. Because the US (and allies) have consistently sent in troops....

usually on false pretenses.

The MI complex makes a profit, steals resources, and props up the wealthy at the expense of lives. The third world is irrelevant to us unless it's valuable and attractive. Then we make up an excuse to send in the troops.

The system that hates the US (and allies) is a consequence of our occupation and intervention in other countries. We certainly have provided an easy target starting after WWII with our insanely expensive and aggressive foreign policy.

It used to be that people who were susceptible to radicalism were pretty much contained (like inside N. Korea), but with new globalization and world-wide communication, there are no boundaries. The result are 911, and bombs in Manchester. Even in the 70s and 80s we saw the beginnings of terrorism away from bombing barracks in Beirut to airliners like Pan Am (Lockerbie).

It has become the norm now for the US and some Western allies to put troops and aircraft carriers in every nook and cranny of the world. Then we blame the terrorist system that grows up hating us a couple decades later.

Any frustrated person that is emotionally vulnerable becomes the tool of the radicals. Those organized and radical groups wouldn't have nearly the ability to recruit if we were building schools and hospitals instead of sending in drones. We could buy 100 less fighter jets and create solar energy instead of occupying countries with oil. You get the idea.

Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan are just examples of US interventions (and usually the UK has been our willing partner) without any attack on the West - and they create generations of people who hate the West. Sometimes those people come back to bite us. In this case, it is the radicalized mid-Easterners, but next time it might be North Koreans, Iranians, or people from the Philippines or who knows? Instead of a suicide bomb, you may see attacks on the power grid or election systems - without any clear way to even identify the source.

The connection is clear to me.
