Impossible to say.

 

I mean hell you don't even know what your own mentality would be like if you had lived over there all your life.

I believe in my 2nd amendment for reasons such as this. No one's taken my stuff with out taken my 5.56 first. 

 

You think I'm joking.

This is way too depressing to think about tbh. It's already sad enough without trying to put yourself in that position. But it's just the latest event in a series of recent triumphs of archconservatives worldwide. And they feed off each other on the world stage via nationalistic animosity and divide & conquer tribalism.

 

Also, it makes my blood boil that this is probably a good outcome for the "defense contractors" (Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, etc. idk) that made all that equipment that the corrupt govt forces donated to the religious fanatic group. They already got their $$$, and now Western "liberators" and nearby neighbors have an incentive to buy even more arms from them to pre-emptively guard against a new powerful enemy.

 

And the corrupt generals and politicians had the money and privilege to float away on cushions of cash, while the poor citizens are left to become subjugated to rule by religious nuts. All in all, the rich and corrupt get away scot-free and the poor and powerless suffer, in what is a time-honored tradition on our planet.
