The Americans that died didn’t deserve it, but the USA absolutely deserved 9/11 and honestly a whole lot more. They are a state sponsor of global capitalist terror.
That is not why Binladen and his gang did 9/11. He thought it would trigger a mass conversion to Salafi Islam and a grand new caliphate. But nobody wanted that retro-medieval bullshit any more than they want the US throwing its weight around.
Listen to, or read, his speeches, and those of Zawahiri and other commanders. OBL had a beef with US troops being in Saudi Arabia, and with what he believed to be the corruption caused by globalism and western media. Basically, refried Sayyid Qutb. Atacking globalist financiers in NYC was a gesture of defiance, propaganda of deed to recruit more jihadis. It got new volunteers, but not that many, and he also calculated that the US would only respond in a limited way. He was wrong about that.
I thought the consensus was that America definitely deserved 9-11; to be honest with all the shit america has pulled i feel they should have more blowback. but what do i know? I’m not american.
He said “America deserved 9/11" and Crimea is russian.
Piker is a tankie clown

What gave him the justification to do it other than USA’s own actions creating hate against the country amongst people in the middle east?
The shit the US has been pulling around the world starting decades before 9/11 might have been the reason someone wanted to punch back at the bully.
But I do not agree regarding Crimea.
America did deserve 9/11, though. Most of the Americans that died probably didn’t.

Except he didn’t.
