What utter horse sh#t. That country has resisted outside influence/control for a thousand years or more. The only thing they picked up from us, is it good to have someone else (the US military) to fight their battles for them, rather than use material support to establish a society and government that can and is willing to defend itself. This is rather like Americans liking the US military as long as they don't have to serve on the line themselves. Having us there is nothing but a profit center for the select few. Other countries are there, because we are there. We were there for a specific mission. That mission was accomplished, and we should have been long gone and them too, unless they had another purpose and mission. The other countries should have been getting their civilians out as well.Oh stop with the “Military Industrial Complex” bullshit….The key in that question was that Biden just empowered the Muslim terrorist network, and more Americans, will die on our shores because of it. Plus, he has totally alienated our allies to the point where they can’t trust us with him at the helm….You proud of that?
We have good intelligence and strong home defenses including massive data collection and communications monitoring. We got our wake-up call on 9/11 and are ready to meet the challenge of maintaining vigilance at home.
Foreign aid to that country is something I can support, but not with American troops on the ground. They have to decide. Not us. We have trained, equipped, and supplied their military, but that country, that military must rise to the challenge of its own self-defense and not fold like a cheap suit. They cannot even feed themselves, yet have and maintain the most fertile poppy fields on the planet. My guess is, it is their biggest export and not a beneficial one to the rest of the world. History is replete with chapters in the opium wars of Asia. Is that what we are supporting with the lives of our troops? Is it worth it to you? It is not, to me.
Peddle your crap elsewhere. I'm not buying.
Ps. Don't be a dumb ass. Just because you ignore the words of Eisenhower, does not mean he was wrong. He has been proven right time and again, and the money they make isn't worth it.
