The U.S. didn't have anyone killed in Afghanistan in the last year and a half.
Some war...
I don't think it's a war, I think it's a form of colonization. That didn't work, bigly!
But the politicians want to call it a war, I guess because we don't do colonization supposedly, but they don't actually fight it as a war. Or ever win, or ever quit till driven out, as they were last week.
You know, Churchill supervised FOUR big evacuations (Gallipoli, Greece, Dunkirk, and Greece) and was pretty discouraged about them --- evacuations are not how you win wars, he said. His wars were all real wars, however, not colonization. (They did that, too, but unlike us, they knew the difference.) Sometimes the situation becomes unwinnable and you just gotta cut and run in the middle of the night --- which is when Churchill and Biden both did it, except for Dunkirk.
I don't think this is especially remarkable. So we lost the pretend war, and we evacuated. This is popular, and I don't think it will hurt Biden. Going back now is what would hurt him!! That would be fatally indecisive, and besides, how could we win when we just lost the whole country? Not doable.
