The Forever War

[rob in indy]

So $88,000,000,000 in American weapons and training over the past 20 years has gone down the drain as Afghanistan resumes sharia and the Taliban takes the country back over again.

So what was it all for?

Afghanistan and Iraq were never intended to be won. That was the plan from day 1. Just low-intensity, high-cost quagmires... forever. Very profitable for the globalist elites and the leftist, globalist military industrial complex. Not so much for American taxpayers and servicemembers. Meanwhile, 46 is snoozing in a hammock somewhere in Camp David while Kabul falls and American embassy personnel are planning escape routes.

Good news is Joey Sent a bunch more troops over there.   Probably "Diverse,  which plenty of 'people of color' in the battalion.   

Which is great.   Because now it will be more of a fair fight.   

What with the Taliban fighting with US vehicles and weaponry, equipment and clothing ... and some more guys that switched sides and know US tactics...   which is really what Joey wants.   "Equity."   

BTW Afghanistan is bulging with minerals ... Especially Lithium.   Which Libtards need for their little battery powered cars.    Afghanistan will be the new Middle East for battery fuel.

The chinks are all in on those rare earth mines in that shithole country and the best news is you don't have to follow moral codes about environmental matters as nobody gives a shit less for those people than Chinka.

A failed nation building experiment run by imbeciles and greedy contractors.

Brave and good men served and bled for their country. God bless them.

Sorry - I hadn't seen this.  Honestly, I am conflicted by leaving Afghanistan, mostly because I fear the way that the Taliban treats women.  At the same time, I think Biden is right when he says that its been twenty years now and he is not going to pass this to another President. IMO, the United States should not try military intervention in countries where we have no clear or attainable goal.  If the Afghan military can't hold onto their own country on their own by now, how much longer would we have to sit there until they actually can?
