1/ So basically we’re leaving Afghanistan after 20 years and the Taliban is now on its way to Kabul. Which means we wasted $2T and 2400 American lives for….nothing. The situation is not appreciably any better than it was when we went there.

2/ Yet even this year we’re spending $763B on defense because obviously we do such a bang up job. Hey kids: what do Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan all have in common? Wasted blood, wasted money, massive failure.

3/ The defense industry is no different than the fossil fuel industry or health insurance industry or any other corporate tyrant that allows profits to take precedence over human life. In the case of MIC, particularly heinous because of how much damage it does to other countries

4/ America’s grace period can’t last forever. While both political parties play whore to the defense industry, the people ourselves need to stand up to the emperor and admit he has no clothes. Our military bloat is not a path to security; it’s a purveyor of death & destruction.

The Pentagon flat out admitted that not only did they not have a plan to achieve "victory" in Afghanistan, they couldn't even define what it would look like. Really hope 20 years of death and suffering was worth it to make people who were already obscenely rich even richer.

Though America initially succeeded in driving off the Taliban, they failed to cut off Pakistan and Saudi donors who were a major source of funding for them. if you keep cutting off the plant at its stem and not at its roots. it will grow back no matter what you do.

Thank god Biden will keep the 16,000 contractors there to run the war for us, so he can convince the gullible that he did anything of value.

Why TF do politicians always frame these things in terms of AMERICAN losses exclusively? Nowhere in your four tweet thread do you even mention the 310,000 dead civilians resulting from this 20 year occupation. It's all about money and American soldiers.

What makes you think that anything America does has anything to do at all with improving anything in the world with the exception of the bank accounts of a small group of sociopaths?

Afghanistan wasn’t for nothing, a lot of weapons manufacturers, mercenaries, and pedophile warlords made a lot of money!

So basically USA should keep the fuck out and pay attention where actual war crimes are taking place. (Hint:Zionists) The hypocrisy of USA Government is not only dangerous to people around the world, you don't even care for your own people.
