Feel free to join in.
If you invade a middle east country-- you'll eventually lose.
If you provide a shitload of weapons to the country you invaded-- they eventually get lost and will be used against you or an Allie.
If you pump millions of dollars into the middle east countries that you invaded--- it will go missing.
If you side with a so-called friendly faction in the middle east country that you invaded, they will eventually turn against you.
If you try to turn hearts and minds, the opposite will happen.
If you Shock and Awe the middle east country you invaded, it will create more terrorists.
If you replace the dictator of the middle east country you invaded, with your puppet, that puppet will eventually either turn agasint you or hang from a rope.
When I started this I thought I'd only have a few--- LOL---I could go on forever. Like I said--feel free to add to the "NO SHIT" game.

(2,345 posts)If you immigrate to a new continent and displace an entire indigenous population from their homes, you may generate ill will amongst those you displaced.
If you confine 6 million people in a ~140 sq. mile space, restrict their freedom of movement, and deny them the ability to leave, you may generate ill will amongst those you are confining.
If you decide to calculate minimum necessary caloric intake for 6 million people living in an open air prison and impose an embargo limiting the quantity and nature of foods available to your captive population, in order to "put them on a diet," you may generate ill will amongst those whom you are starving.
If you decide to chuck thousands of bombs and missiles onto schools, hospitals, civilian homes, and houses of worship located in the open air prison you're running, killing hundreds of innocent children and hundreds of other innocent civilians who have nowhere to run, you may generate ill will amongst the surviving population.
