Is a direct occupation merely being replaced with a counterterrorism operation?

Fair enough. Eventually, every political group will have its own niche market social media platform. Team Rising debates a potential conservative social media platform.
Unfortunately, most mainstream discourse of about wealth disparities is limited to “more taxes vs fewer taxes” which is an after-the-fact question that fails to address the causes of extreme wealth disparities generally. Team Rising discusses new polls showing the popularity of taxing the rich.

If this actually happens, my guess would be that multiple things are probably happening. First, the neo-realists who seem to prefer to reestablish the Cold War-era alliance between the US and the mujahideen may be getting the upper hand over the neocons who prefer a permanent occupation. Also, […]
