Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

“A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”
He also planted seeds in the ME that has allowed the US to always have an unstable relationship in the region
Ronald Reagan prolonged the Iran hostage crisis and then resolved it by selling weapons to Iran - which was illegal. Its a great tragedy that Ronald Reagan wasn't prosecuted for treason.
Carter gave birth to the Mujahideen, which became Taliban and Al-Qaeda
That's incorrect. Mojaheds were a group of Muslim-Socialist democratic parties. The only thing in common between them is using weapons.
Unless you call everybody US armed Mojaheds.
The creation of Israel, and the US aided Iranian coup of 1953 both happened a couple decades before Carter.
Those seeds were planted and had been growing for a while.
He planted the seeds that created the Mujahideen
They were chill. They may be the reason Pakistan and Taliban are weaker today than they could be, not stronger.
Tell me you know nothing about history in one sentance challenge: Success
Mujahideen has entered the chat
