I’ve said it time and time again. I would rather give away (or waste) billions of dollars in weapons to a people fighting and dying for their own freedom, than to have 1 US Soldier die for an ungrateful people.
We just spent $2.26 trillion, 6500 American live and 20 years fighting 1 guy that we killed 10 years ago and the entire Afgan nation of 40 million ingrates.
Fuck them all, let them all fight for their own freedom.
I’d rather not give anything to anyone, especially to a non-NATO country that is heavily involved in a money laundering operation that we probably couldn’t comprehend.
We have our own problems and we’ve sacrificed well more than enough saving this planet.
Your example of Afghanistan is a perfect one. But, there was too much money to be made and everyone had their hands in the cookie jar.
The money laundering and outright theft that took place in Afghanistan is no different. And to think, now we have about 100k of them living in this country on our dime.
