So far the empire’s new war in Pakistan has accomplished, well… nothing good.
They aren’t even pretending to hunt for bin Laden and Zawahiri as part of the excuse for demanding the Pakistani army invade the North-Western territories of the country, so far they have completely failed to find the “Taliban” leaders they claim to be trying to get, but instead have succeeded only in created a living nightmare for over 3 million refugees and counting.
At least it won’t be hard to find excuses for the next intervention…
