If we had it won, there wouldn’t be a Taliban to give it back to. Anyone familiar with history knows Afghanistan has been the ruination of every invading army that tried to conquer it. That, I lay at the determination and fighting spirit of the Afghans. And my point is that spirit can see us through in this situation, should it come to blows.
They make more taliban, especially when emboldened by BO.
Theres nothing majical or mystical about Afghanistan. Its a lot of remote, desolate, mountains full of extremely poor, corrupt and ignorant people. Show them strength and they will leave the taliban. Show weakness and they’ll go where they have to in order to survive.
