Please tell me why we are in Afghanistan?
We are there to make sure the heroin supply isn’t interrupted, and to keep the rare earth metals there out of the hands of the rest of the world. China effectively has cornered the market. When we withdraw and lose there, it will be the disaster from hell. The Afhgans will have defeated the Great Satan and 0bomber will receive his payment from the Chinese The stone age will return and China will be tempted to annihilate the remnants and/or will use cash to secure that monopoly they have.
