I would have liked to think britain was above it but a certain lapdog put an end to that.
The CIA has a long history of supporting militant groups where it is believed to be valuable for U.S interests. In most cases this eventually leads to political instability in that area which provides the oppurtunity for the U.S to intervene once more in a War of economic or political gain.
Some examples of this in recent years are the training of militant groups in Indonesia where a video was recovered published by the CIA entitled "How to torture women" as you can imagine it contained sexual degradation and mutilation techniques.
They have also supported particular powerful Drug barons and their militias in columbia which are the major source of Cocaine for the USA. I cant remeber the exact details of the operation but I remember it had some connection with police corruption in LA. Im sure you can look it up.
As we all aware, probably the most destructive and socially impactive of recent years, Afghanistan. As mm123 says, the U.S provided extensive support and training for the Taliban with the reasoning that anything anti Russian was great. I think this might have benefited from the fact that the bush goverment shared a special relationship with Osama Bin Laden through George Bush Jr. who worked closely with Osama's brother as business partner's in an OIL company. Just as this backfired (or beared fruit depending how you look at it) The U.S support of dangerous militant groups in overthrowing the Taliban is something which is bound to cause extended instabilty and death in the region.
I could go on with Iraq and the world, but im sure you all know anyway.
It's a Mig. Still good enough to blow your friggin ass to Allah. Get out the shopvac and find some wings.
It's actually a MiG-25 Foxbat, very popular in the 70's and 80's. Today, only smaller countries with limited budgets still fly them.
Its a vicious cycle of authortarian delinquency.
