WASHINGTON—Putting the nation on alert against what it has described as a “highly credible terrorist threat,” the FBI announced today that it has uncovered a plot by members of al-Qaeda to sit back and enjoy themselves while the United States collapses of its own accord.
Everyone forgets the rise of domestic right wing terrorists through the 90s. If 9/11 did anything it was to delay it by a decade.
All their crazies got shipped off to Afghanistan and Iraq to commit war crimes there. America wasn’t actively engaged in war since withdrawing from Iraq in 2011. Afghanistan was scaled back. It’s no coincidence domestic issues came to the forefront over the ensuing decade.
Perhaps even the wars in the middle east trained a generation of extremists to be more violent.
