After spending 2.26 trillion $ USA realizes there's no military solution in Afghanistan

[Desperado]

I think this would be a great time to tell you i told you so. Never should have had troops there in the first place

 

[Mr Natural]

The Middle East (pick a region) should have been met with swift and severe retaliation after the 9/11 attacks.

And whatever was left should have been informed to never try that kind of shit ever again.

We armed the other side so they could do it themselves. The US going in should have required better planning.

Or, use the military for its intended purpose; and that’s to kill and destroy. If that’s not the mission, then we should our noses out of other people’s business.

I agree that we should have tried harder politically than mediocrely, militarily.

To what end? You want Afghanistan to be the 51st state?

The political End would be to prevent and obviate any perceived need for the military use of force.

But when the siege and bombardment of cities like Aleppo placed the violence on the genocidal scale of atrocities set by Rwanda and Srebrenica, inaction by the US and its allies mocked the international community's vows of "never again".

Impossible. The military needs fed.

Your answer is the same one I addressed earlier. We have to kill those we condemn being killed.

How does a military-industrial complex happen in our economy when it is nothing but centrally planned socialism by Necessity?

I disagree it's a necessity which is why I fully support cutting it back.

It's not like it didn't happen to them also. But yeah, we should have learned.........back to my original point.

The pentagram was a good option. They got rid of the ones they needed to and those pesky papers in the building that free-fell for no apparent reason.'sall good man.

They lost first and are closer.

The point is, right-wingers allege to abhor central public sector planning and socialism in socialism threads.

 

[ekrem]

Time to kick those quitters out of NATO

True.. It was too late for Bush to save ENRON.

There was no state actor in 9/11.

I don't care what "right wingers" think here. What we are doing is wrong and BOTH parties have supported it.

"Right wingers" pretend to not like Socialism except when they benefit from it and the "left" used to pretend to abhor war.

90% of NATO consists of countries who wouldn't even give a single screw to Ukraine or Georgia to help them defend against Russia.

 

[ekrem]

Russia laughing....again

Biden went to Brussels to commit to Europeans he'll defend them against Russia.
In meantime US Army is in full retreat from Afghanistan, unwilling to defend the only airport which serves as emergency exit for diplomatic and development crowd in that country.

We went to Afghanistan as a last ditch effort to bail out ENRON. Time to go.

Turkey will secure the Afghan capital's airport after American troops withdraw, in an agreement designed to help the US, Britain and others to keep their embassies open.
Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's president, told Joe Biden that his nation would take a lead role to safeguard the air link out of an increasingly beleaguered Kabul

If Turkey wants to engage in another hot point in Asia, it is up to them. It may well be that the burden they decided to shoulder will be heavy.

Future of Afghanistan will be decided by Pakistan. What Pakistan wants will happen in Afghanistan.
To the north Afghanistan is bordered by Uzbeskistan, Turkmenistan all allies of Turkey.
Just like in Libya Turks will overtake US taxpayer funded military installations.
Thank you very much !

Well, maybe, we will see. Afghanistan and Central Asia have a unique place in the world geography. No surprise that various global players tried to set their foot there. That is a crossroad between China, India, Russia and Iran.

Something tells that this region will be a battlefield for intelligence agencies of various countries who will try to weaken their adversary by engaging it in regional conflicts.

French Special Forces (already left Afghanistan) visit Afghan tribal leaders.
It is not French or US flag hanging on the wall.
