Billions of dollars a month indefinitely is too high of a price to pay!

Russia was paying bounties to Taliban for the lives of American soldiers. This guy isn't living in reality. It was a quagmire, and corruption was rampant.

But it's not a small footprint. It's taxpayer $billions every year that goes to bribing Afghan leaders, it's financially supporting the Taliban to pretend they've gone away, it's an opportunity 4 corrupt people like Bush, Cheney, Trump/Putin, Pompeo to lie to the American public.
