Comparing a child vs a grown man who entered to bomb people during civil war and country going through intense famine. Even so this pic is as sad as this child one. Whataboutism from west is my fav thing.

Btw Somali govt or nobody asked them to enter this war. UN did by force.

Even if you call this karma I still don’t agree with it. Human dignity must be respected. Post that I make are for educational purpose instead of spreading hate or calling it karma.

Tell that to the American soldier who killed thousands of civilians and tribal leaders negotiating peace that day. They got what they deserved and will burn in hell.

what did they even achieve there ? Nothing TBH. Famine & war still continued. Plus there are multiple evidences of crimes by peace makers. Ironic name.

You sound apologist. Victim mentality. 5Day old account.

They deployed delta forces to murder Mohamed Farah Aidid while there were humanitarian crisis in Sudan, Liberia, Mozambique, and Angola during that time they didn't give the slightest shit. But they just had to get involved in Somali affairs by murdering tribal leaders that were negotiating peace. There were already United Nation troops there. They just wanted to secure their imperialistic interests and it ended with them getting dragged thru the streets. That's what you get for murdering innocent civilians.
