All my friends are gamers and none of them are violent.

I'll get violent if this cryptocurrency war doesn't end soon. A video card shouldn't cost 75% more then it did 2 years ago when it first came out.

Ok, that would certainly defy the claims being made by some politicians.
But statement like this could again fuel such theories

I'd sell my $180 480 if there was literally anything I could buy with my ill-gotten gains.

The trick is to buy the video cards and sell them at a higher price then cost you make more money doing that then bit coins, and the price is less volatile.

But to be fair, unlike Syria's "Animal Assad", this violence is for cause of freedom.

Wasn't MOAB dropped in Afghanistan by stable genius supposed to reduce violence?

May 13, 2018
JALALABAD, Afghanistan — A spring offensive by Taliban insurgents has resulted in a series of attacks across Afghanistan, killing more than 100 soldiers and police officers in the past week, according to officials. In the latest attack, on government offices in the eastern city of Jalalabad on Sunday, at least 12 people were said to have been killed.
In a separate episode, an Afghan military helicopter crashed early Sunday morning in the southern province of Helmand, and Taliban insurgents posted video of the mangled remains, claiming to have shot it down.
In Zabul Province, also in the south, a week of heavy fighting left 70 police officers dead, local officials said. In Farah Province, in the west, at least 15 officers were killed in four recent attacks, according to provincial officials. And in the northern province of Baghlan, a senior security official said that at least 44 soldiers and police officers were killed last week when insurgents seized control of a district government compound.
The increased tempo of attacks appeared to be part of an offensive announced by the Taliban on April 25 in a statement rejecting recent government peace overtures.

A Weak Apology After Afghan Airstrike Killed 30 Children

The government claimed that the attack also killed at least 18 high-ranking Taliban fighters.
The text of the apology reveals the chasm between the rulers and the ruled, the center and the periphery: The families of the 36 civilian victims remain unnamed — common nouns rather than real people struggling with grief and loss.

Looks like our tax dollars on their training are being spent for maximum results?

Let's wait till all the facts come out.

Were the Taliban really as bloody as the occupation's been?

Not sure but current POTUS' role model Prez Reagan had compared them to Founding Fathers/Mothers of America or that is fakenews?

That was real news at the time. I think by 2001 it became real olds. Today that is fake news, I think.

That could require rewriting of history periodically to keep old real news accurate for changing times.

Trump Cancels Report on Civilians Killed by US Drone Strikes

In his latest attack on transparency, President Donald Trump on Wednesday rescinded a rule requiring U.S. intelligence officials to publicly disclose the number of civilians killed by drone strikes. …

Trump used an executive order to scrap the three-year-old rule, which instructed the Director of National Intelligence to produce an annual report on all civilians killed by U.S. drone strikes outside of official war zones. … the White House ignored last May’s deadline for disclosing civilian deaths from drone strikes and suggested it could rescind the transparency requirement.

Now that the rule has been canceled … the Trump administration will be able to continue expanding the use of drone strikes overseas with even less oversight. …

now they're not going to bother to even try to report the #'s of civilians the US is killing anymore. Another way of hiding consequences of US's illegal & endless global war.

“This decision will hide from the public the government’s own tally of the total number of deaths it causes every year in its lethal force program,” …

The executive order comes as reports show that Trump has escalated the drone wars he inherited from his predecessor Barack Obama, who was widely criticized for expanding the use of drone strikes.
“Since Donald Trump took office, the U.S. military has approximately tripled the number of strikes that it conducts each year in Somalia, according to figures confirmed by the Pentagon,” … Trump has similarly ramped up the use of drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen.

“In 2009 and 2010, Obama launched 186 drone strikes on Yemen, Somalia, and especially Pakistan. Donald Trump’s drone strikes during his own first two years on the three pivotal undeclared battlefields, however, eclipse Obama’s,” … “In 2017 and 2018 to date, Trump has launched 238 drone strikes there.”

And Obama doesn't feel one bit sad about any of those deaths.

I'm sure Trump only did this because, under his administration, with only the best people "serving," he's been able to increase the precision of his drone strikes to such a degree that virtually no innocents are ever maimed or killed.

I'm sure he isn't. Nor is Trump. Sociopaths/toxic narcissists are like that.
