20 years, thousands dead, almost $1T spent & the Taliban is able to overrun the country in a matter of weeks. Women will be as endangered there now as they were before 911. This is a major catastrophe. There must be another way. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

The other way is to leave them be. Freedom isnt free and they need to pay the cost themselves.

In the REVOLUTIONARY WAR, WWI and WWII ... we were defending our homeland ... that reason creates an emotional energy that no invader can beat ... However ... Afghanistan is to big, to remote and to diverse for One Centralized Army or one Centralized Government.

The military-industrial complex has made trillion$ from the endless Afghan war, even more from controlling the world's opium trade & enormous profit$ from 35,000 daily barrels of Afghan oil. If America was interested in saving the women they would have done it by now. 🙄

Just another example of people in position making decisions that have consequences on others, but suffer none themselves. More likely the profited.

Every article I see on foreign policy from main media I just turn on its head. You have understood all this time and age that when it comes to the MIC, these articles are lies? We learn from history that we do not learn from history.

"Military officers like me thought we were building a capable Afghan security force." Delusion on a personal and a grand, Biblical scale; repeated over and over through the decades.
