Did the war in Afghanistan cripple the groups that are capable?

Targeted strikes on leadership in the Middle East?

Did we make a deal with someone?

Is surveillance so vast and advanced (including in the US) that we identify those that are plotting to do us harm before they have the chance?

It has been almost 25 years and nothing near the scale of 9/11 has occurred here at home. It's remarkable when you think about it.

way easier to do a bunch of small scale stuff than focus money/effort on a 9/11 style attack. think London bus bomb, terrorists that drive cars through crowds in Europe, etc...

Likely this. Payoffs have become standard part of our foreign policy.

They figured out how to ruin us from within. No need to fly into buildings anymore. Build enclaves, grow population, get elected—-> profit.

The conflicts have been quagmires, but the damage done to the sponsors of terror have been enormous. When the money men tell you to lay off you lay off. This isn’t about freedom or jihad. Terror is an industry is what’s been realized.

you will never convince me that the TSA and all the hassle we (American citizens) have to endure for a domestic flight has actually prevented anything.
Except a pleasant flying experience.

The masterminds came up with a better plan. They move in and get elected to government. Much easier.

There would be nothing to gain.

The USA is tearing itself apart.

Why give US citizens something to rally around?

Because the attacks on 9/11/01 achieved their goals.

By slowly letting the Muslims invade and take over internally?

9/11 could’ve been avoided as well; it was allowed.

They are playing the long game instead of the quick terrorist attacks.

Taking over parts of Minnesota and Michigan were a start.

But the big one is:
