It wasn't why they carried out the piracy. They were in it for the monero.

True, the rank and file terrorist is politically driven after being manipulated by the leaders who are lining their pockets off the misery of their people. Have you ever asked yourself why none of these terrorist groups leaders strap a bomb to their chests or drive the car bomb into the crowd? Why are the Hamas top honchos living in luxury outside of Gaza or the West Bank? They are in it for the money and power, not the politics.

The same as with most any political organization.

So again... all we have is a hammer, so every problem is a nail.

Did bombing solve Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Syria or Afghanistan? Or Yemen?

How would you go about it? I’m no foreign policy scholar and have no idea what’s the best way to handle it. You haven’t seen me saying we should turn them into rubble….. lately anyway

They have said that they are doing this because of the Israeli actions in Gaza. So the easiest thing to do would be to make Israel stop.

So again, what is this bombing accomplishing? What is success/victory? Do we have a time table? How sustainable is this… where we are trading million dollar missiles for thousand dollar projectiles and drones?

You make good points, but you should also be asking the same (or similar ) questions about what your hero is doing in Ukraine.

Demilitarizing NATO, de-nazifying Ukraine and Canada, protecting the people of Southern and Eastern Ukraine and removing an existential threat from its border.

So now that I addressed your random and off topic question, how about you answer my questions

The more you post the more I'm of the understanding that you know little of history or current events, make bad assumptions about what others believe, and can't support your own assertions.

That's great. Why are there Islamic terrorists?

It's a big difference. Piracy is for profit; it's apolitical. Terrorism is to intimidate a population for political aims.

Looks like terrorism pays pretty good when you divert the money away from the people ...

Hamas leaders worth staggering $11B revel in luxury — while Gaza’s people suffer

Three of the terror group’s most senior figures are able fly private and relax in safety in the tiny emirate — a key US ally — while enjoying an $11bn fortune between them.

Won't stop anything.

Meanwhile, there are reports circulating that there were more strikes towards US bases in Syria a few hours ago.

Maybe Lloyd should pull the troops out of Iraq and Syria if he wants to protect them...

This is a hilarious development in the pedantic dissecting of the terms terrorist and pirate 😂

I’d guess many of the Barbary pirates victims would easily call them the terrorists of their day based on the modern application of the label.

What were their political aims? How did they want us to change?
