Look it's not like I wanted sharks to show up when I started dumping pig blood on those surfers
Or when I trained all those other sharks to attack surfers, that was different
What they did with their surfer attack training was their choice.
/s because JFC you can't tell sometimes
No. The US did not intentionally architect ISIS.
Neither did I intentionally architect the Great Shark Massacre of '05, it was just a funny prank. How was I supposed to know sharks like blood?
Sorry but that isn't applicable. And honestly it's incredibly general. You're saying consequences exist. Yes, they do. For all things. That doesn't actually mean there's direct causality with strategic intent though
does that make it better, frankly? like oh no no they didn't do it ON PURPOSE, they just fucked it up! they're not intentionally evil, just incompetent!
I didn't say that. I said it's an inaccurate analogy.
