The sad thing is that we won decisive victories in both Afghanistan and Iraq only to have the victories squandered and thrown down the toilet by feckless politicians and generals.

Obama left Iraq to hand it over to ISIS and Iran and kept us bound and hobbled in Afghanistan so as to demoralize and help the Taliban our troops wear down our weapons and maim and demoralize our soldiers. We never should have left Iraq and we should have left Afghanistan 15 years ago.

We won victories in Vietnam, too, killed millions of Vietnamese. Lost the war. Went off the gold standard due to the debt. The Dollar has lost >95% of its value since then. Now, we’re utterly bankrupt and our civilization is collapsing.

There was never a chance of winning there, unless the US had gone for total destruction. The arrogant dolts surrounding Bush thought they could change these people. It was never going to happen.

Read about the Anglo-Afghan Wars. Going into Afghanistan is easy, the tricky part is getting out. Sooner or later, everyone who goes in leaves. We aren’t the first this has happened to.

Afghanistan is incapable of running a modern democracy. Impossible.
