we learned the industrial military complex made millions and the rest of us saved a nickel per gallon on gas
She seems upset?
That’s millions but with b in front.
Don’t invade a country with no clear objective…
She seems upset?
The “nation-building” Republican neocons accomplished nothing.
She seems upset?
Don’t be silly. America never learns from losses. It just pretends they were victories that got stolen from them.
John Rambo, John Matrix, James Braddock,…
Vietnam: The US was unprepared to win, let alone fight, a foreign war against a decentralized, guerrilla army.
Afghanistan: The US was unprepared to win, let alone fight, a foreign war against a decentralized, guerrilla army…with local forces unable and unwilling to fight on their own.
Progress? 🤔 🤷
Exactly!!!
You did fight too hard, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians does not make you popular. Each 20 dead civilians create 1 new freedom fighter revenging his murdered relative(s).
Forget about it. We are pivoting to Asia (China) and “Gunboat Diplomacy”
Afghanistan is in Asia.
I have complete trust and confidence in the Biden/Harris administration.
Okay foreigner
@Mark Evans Your mom is coming down to the basement, wipe your sticky keyboard.
@The Doctor wow that’s a second grade attempt at a insult.
@Censorship Is real You would know.
That is a joke right??
Right the Republican guys who invaded the wrong country after 9/11 while doing business with Saudi Arabia the country actually behind it, while lying about Weapons of Mass Destruction are “Experts” on Afghanistan.🤣
No president the past 20 years wanted this mess on their legacy that’s the only reason this WAS Americas longest war. Look at the mess in Afghanistan right now. This outcome would be the same regardless of timing.
You are absolutely correct. And that’s a hard truth.
BLAH BLAH BLAH, POPPIES ARE ALL THAT MATTERS.
We still have 28,500 troops in South Korea to keep the North Koreans in check… so shouldn’t that be considered the longest war? We had 2500 troops in Afganistan to keep the Taliban in check…
yep, but I also know that R.O.K will put up a good fight.
The Taliban will not allowed any soldiers in Afghanistan and president Trump accepted
After 20 years, this guy says we need to learn patience. NEXT!!!!
Shout out to George Floyd on sixteen months of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals🖕🚩
What have to do George Floyd with the war in Afghanistan 😂
It was a military defeat! The Taliban did conquer the whole of Afghanistan. You lost because you have ambassadors, who think you should have stayed longer. You should not have tried to completely change the Afghan culture, you should not have killed that many innocent civilians. Besides each 20 dead civilians create 1 new freedom fighter revenging his murdered relative(s). Changing culture is a mission impossible, just look how much time e.g the Italians and the Irish needed to fully integrate into the US culture.
Yes absolutely..! I agreed with you 💯
Forever war propaganda of course so ridiclous
So Biden said he’s going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated workers…then said that if you’re vaccinated you’re protected…
So WTF is it….
What we learned about Afghanistan.
Don’t let Joe Biden lead a withdrawal
America may have won many Battles – but she lost The ‘War’.
Fonzie was the U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan?
lesson here is stop nation building…let them be, like the prime directive of Star Trek.
Leave it to Just Blinken Sure. Or No Soul Psaki. Rambling Joe Biden
