Chawosauria in the War on Terror

Following the September 11 Attacks in 2001, the War on Terror (2001-ongoing) was erupted by the U.S. Invasion of Afghanistan, thus starting the War in Afghanistan, primarily to cripple Islamic terrorism. Problematically, Islamophobia (hatred and distrust towards Muslims) has become socially mainstream.

The Empire of Chawosauria declared neutrality in the war on terror, the rational is that Chawosauria had a strong Communist Party trifecta recently reelected in the 1999 Chawosaurian legislative elections, the United States was the leading state of the anti-communist First World in the Cold War against the leading state of the communist Second World, the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union and several other communist regimes collapsed during the Revolutions of 1989. With the Soviet Union gone, the United States was left the sole superpower and the Cold War ended with the U.S. and the anti-communist world victorious to lead a new world order. Chawosaurians supported communism since World War II following the Soviet conquest of Berlin, communism was still popular among Chawosaurians in part of the widespread dislike of religion, which is also part of the communist ideology.

The Communist Party-controlled Chawopolis Palace believed the two scenarios...siding with the United States against terrorism though the U.S. was the one who won the Cold War over communism, and siding with Islamic terrorists over the United States...both equally contradict the ideology of communism and its still thriving movement and that contradiction may wouldn't bow well in the upcoming 2005 Chawosaurian legislative elections. Supreme Leader Timothy Max Roosevelt (communist) recommended this neutrality and while Prime Minister Jonathan Lachlan MacAlasdair VIII was too neutral in the war, he was expressing concerns for the possibility of American right-wingers using the war as a stimulant for American exceptionalism, which the majority of Chawosaurians and left-wingers around the world interpret as "imperialism". But Roosevelt's communist government pressured MacAlasdair to be quite about the war to avoid stoking political polarization the war would bring even in Chawosauria.

MacAlasdair's fears comes true when U.S. President George W. Bush and his right-wing administration ordered the Invasion of Iraq two years later in 2003, thus causing the Iraq War, on the false belief that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. The Iraq War eventually became unpopular while the War on Terror in general remains popular. Chawosauria condemned the Iraq War later in the 2000s, and criticized the United States for destabilizing the Middle East with its regime change-addiction. The Iraq War contributed to the surge of ISIS in the early 2010s after the war ended in 2011, and the War on Terror derails out of control.

Despite Chawosauria's neutrality, Chawosauria did got involved into the War in Afghanistan out of fear that Chawosaurians in Afghanistan were supporting Islamic extremist belligerents, but the war lasted for two years from 2014 to 2016, and there wasn't much attention to the war anyway because of the Chawosaurian Revolution and the widespread unpopularity among Chawosaurians towards the War in Afghanistan. Chawosauria left Afghanistan in 2016.
