^Peep the Talibeezy dude rocking the Space Jam Jordans. Dressed to kill you might say.

The Clone Wars series has been a revealing look into the occupational planning of regimes that seek to “save” sovereign governments and remove the destructive elements from within those nations. It’s impossible for the occupiers to separate the good guys from the bad since they are unfamiliar with the lands they are stationed in. Ultimately, even the people that could have benefited from the occupying forces become a resistance force because their culture becomes torn asunder from outsiders.

The escalating Afghansitan War is just like the planet Mandalore that the Galactic Republic wants to put under its thumb. Galactic forces are moving to occupy Mandalore and that threatens to end the generation of peace that the once perpetual warring star system is now living under. The Galactic Chancellor secretly wants this outcome because he wants the Mandalorians to be anti-Republic since that would also make them anti-Jedi. Life always imitates art when you aren’t paying super close attention.

The objective of the United States in Afghanistan still isn’t completely clear to me. The nebulous notion of ridding the region of Taliban forces in laughable. The Taliban is everywhere, and still no where. Afghanistan doesn’t represent a strategic staging point to the middle east in my eyes, but what do I know. I dropped out of an NYC high school. That’s like saying that I failed gym class (and I did). If you look at the Persian Gulf War, the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War the U.S. has a decade plus of fighting in the desert.

And why are my gas prices still going up?
