That's more of a geopolitical paradox being played out for profit than an ACTUAL war, though..

I mean, how is the war in Afghanistan not a war?

That WAS a war. An ill-advised (to say the very least) invasion using the "war" on terror as a pretext.

Nah, it's the truth.

The "war on terror" isn't any more of an actual war than the "war on drugs", and it's every bit as demagogic and counterproductive.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Yeah except the war on terror involved the military - soldiers fighting. Not law enforcement and drugs.

Funny how you get to defend your stupid point by just redefining what war is.

It says "war" right there in the title.

And "AI" has 'intelligence' right in the title. What's your point?

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I mean, technically, the shorthand "AI" doesn't have "intelligence" in it, as it only has the "A" which can be discarded for the purpose of this statement, and the "I" which is missing several necessary characters.

I'm a blast at parties.

His point is that the war on terror is an actual war and Canadian exceptionalism doesn't change that.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago

Okay, who is the leader of "Terror"? Did Terror surrender? Was any sort of peace treaty signed? Or is the war on going?

Yeah I like our win loss ratio as well but to be fair we tied in Korea (yay forever war) and lost in Afghanistan. But on the other end both where american clusterfucks.
