As the Pubs bitch and moan about Afghanistan, they don’t mention that this withdrawal was negotiated by Trump., who bragged about ending the ‘endless’ war.
Part of his ‘plan’ was releasing over 5000 Taliban prisoners, who promptly returned to the fight, and the whole deal thoroughly demoralized the Afghan Army, who just gave up, proving the US shouldn’t be fighting in/for a country that won’t fight for itself.
Whether now, last year or in five years the result would be the same. At least we’re out, BUT, GW and The Dick should be held responsible for the damage they’ve caused.
Although GW and The Dick started the war and Dotard negotiated the end, there’s plenty of blame to go around as the US spent over two TRILLION dollars, most of it ending in the pockets of corrupt Afghan politicians and Daddy Warbucks ‘defense’ contractors, while over 66,000 Afghans in the police and Army were killed.
For what? Cuz a lot of people made money on it, including Big Oil who profited from the continual war in the Mideast.
Just like Viet Nam, the nation’s longest war in the Mideast started as Bullshit and ended with the US ‘losing’ while SOME Americans made a ton of money. Same old shit from the warmonger politicians, the majority BY FAR, being Republican.
Rob a liquor store, go to prison. Kill thousands in a Repub war, and get rich. It’s the American way, since Viet Nam.
Some things never change, no matter how much they should.
