We are not allowed to win. It might hurt their feelings or something.
Two months ago, I read a piece....they’d added everything up since 9-11....one trillion dollars spent on Afghanistan. What do you have to show for it? Pretty much nothing.
If you take the pro-Afghanistan logic....you could stay another 20 years and spend another trillion. Makes no sense.
Last week, I read a Turkish news piece talking about a town in Afghanistan (40 miles from the Iran border). 50,000 residents, and journalists say that 80-percent-plus of the resident are engaged in the meth-manufacture/trade....into Iran. Tons of the stuff made monthly and smuggled into Iran. I’d suggest to leave....let the trade continue, and bring down both governments in the next decade.
Don’t trust Keane.
No one can finish the job in Afghanistan. The British were fighting the Afghans during Victoria’s reign all the way through WWII. We need to leave and let the Afghans have their stone age country back. Some say that the Chinese will move in to fill the void if we do. Let them. The Afghans will destroy them the using the same processes they did with the Brits, the Russians, and us. Leave them to their own “lights.”
Can that dope even explain coherently what “finish the job” means?
What would winning look like in your opinion? Like Libya? Afghanistan? Just bomb the he!! When need be, and quit trying to install democracy, because democracy over there means Islamic State and death for Christians.
All of our generals who knew victory first hand are gone now. The only generals we have now only know world policing.
