This is great and we are invited into Afghanistan , so it is legal under international law. Good Job.
The legality isn’t the problem. We were invited there on September 11th. The problem is the morons in charge who think the same strategy, executed a more forcefully, will make a bit of difference. Does anyone sane think we will be more ruthless than the USSR was? There simply -isn’t- a level of force that will make them into a civilized place.
In 8 years it will be exactly the same. We spend about 13 billion on Afghanistan each year. We ain’t there to do a single thing now except channel money to the defense world.
