@Reese Herrmann 🤣🤣🤣 Democrats have been more fiscally responsible for the debt for the past six presidencies. Every time a republikkkan comes into office he leaves a trail of dead bodies and a huge debt behind.
@Eph3m3ral…. as i was saying, you do not have the slightest idea of the extent of present day Chinese building capicities.
valerie are you on drugs? Democrats have spent more in the last year alone than almost any presidency in recorded history. They’ve shown themselves to be completely incompetent when they have power. I just want my country governed well.
Oddgerðr Aurkonungr you are brainwashed by anti China propaganda, and don’t try to take the moral high ground, like usa worried about human rights abuse, yea fing right
Hopefully we remember this next time some politician wants a regime change.
It was nice to work with you
Ihan Omar is so happy that the US lost to the Taliban
Yes,I confirm.
@Michael S. Yeah yeah peace between Israel and Palestine by excluding actual Palestinians from the “peace” talks and giving everything to his buddy Netaniaho. Trump peace deals were as good as Versaille peace treaty!
@Allenmetzger what? That was never regime change
No matter how one looks at the whole Afghan mission, it was a failed mission.
@gacj2010 w- huh?
@Dak G Kindly watch this, Christine Fair sums it up pretty well.

Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, the British Empire, the Russians.
They all failed in Afghanistan. The US never had any chance to win.
_’May God deliver us from the fangs of the cobra, the claws of the tiger, and the vengeance of the Afghans’_
@mk first of all they gained victory a second they entered Afghanistan let’s not talk about them being there for 20 years and obtaining every resources and brought peace for afghan people, now they can feel the american essence more than ever second even this Taliban are working for CIA so they could utilize them as a weapon to stop shia vs sunni to fighting each other 3 thousand years🤣
also you mean The American who defeated Nazies and soviets and asians and saved the world with allies beside them using American arsenals you mean the America who invented 98% of modern and future technologies , controlling internet and space and the only free world country with ultimate independency and culture variations that’s why we have only one green card lottery because ppl like you struggling to get there but when thier visa get rejected they start talk bad about America.
I bet even this Taliban are working for CIA so they could utilize them as a weapon to stop shia vs sunni to fighting each other 3 thousand years
For those who never have read the Dune bookseries, now is the time. Especially when main protagonist becomes leader of the Mudjehadin.
Eisenhower warned about the military industrial complex. War is profitable for some. Devastating for others.
@Matthew P Amen brother!!
Trump tried to dismantle the MIC but the media, Democrats, and RINOs wouldn’t let him.
@Greta Dumberg I am too
Indeed. The military contractors will have to wait for another war. From the looks of the world today, they won’t have to wait long.
I bet even this Taliban are working for CIA so they could utilize them as a weapon to stop shia vs sunni to fighting each other 3 thousand years
This is like the fall of south Vietnam all over again.
@Bob Richards In America, the president who ends a lost war always gets the blame, never the one who started it.
By design.
@Anno Nymouse this was the desired effect of both.
@KEN LIEBERMAN the Pentagon spent 500 million dollars on a propaganda campaign.
@Greta Dumberg Source? Or are you lying?
If our politicians want to fight a war, let them put on a uniform and fight it themselves.

@William Cunningham
Stupid argument – on many levels. Starting with the fact that Bush did not make any serious attempt to go after Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. Hell, when we had him trapped in the caves of Tora Bora, they withdrew our people and told the Northern Alliance to go get him – they did not, of course. Bush was just USING this as an excuse to establish a precedent for invading countries we called uncooperative in the “war on terror” so that he could fight the war he really wanted – in Iraq, for oil. Al Qaeda and (since they were protecting them) Afghanistan were the enemy – not Iraq. We could have gotten Bin Laden and decimated the Taliban in short order if we committed our forces there – but we did not. OIL was more important! Bush had no real mission in Afghanistan – he even said in 2005 that getting Bin Laden was not a priority anymore – even though much of Al Qaeda remained in tact.
Bush IGNORED all the warnings he was given about the threat of Osama, and made no effort to stop him, then made little effort to get him after that threat materialized.
And you are missing the point of the OP – if you are going to send people to die, maybe you should have some skin in the game. Now, I don’t expect these mostly chubby old farts to be any use on a battlefield, nor should their kids be forced to go, just because their parent happens to be one of the decision makers – though if they taught them better, more, like Beau Biden would volunteer. But how about a lottery? If you vote for war, then for every “X” number of soldiers killed, one of you gets picked to die? For every “Y” number maimed and disabled, one of you gets an arm or leg cut off?
Lol 🤣🤣 Politician with gun uniform and war fighting Dishoom Dishoom Dishkiyaoon Dishkiyaoon 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Deog Lemnaco
Understand hyperbole much? The point is that they should have some skin in the game.
@Greta Dumberg
Well chosen name – you are DUMB! Omar and her family fled people similar to this. She knows better than YOU ever could how bad they are.
When they want democracy, they don’t come and help. Myanmar really wants real democracy.
Now we see where the incompetence of our political parties and PATHETIC leaders have gotten us!

Yep all of them, my heart goes with the women there. Maybe it’s better to leave them.
The only people that benefited from the was are the heads of the military industrial complex.
Ihan Omar is so happy that the US lost to the Taliban

@Greta Dumberg She’s more American than you are.
They are using the politicians as their puppets.
“I love peace, and I don’t care how many men, woman, and children I have to kill to get it” – john cena said it, but the taliban did it first
Peacemaker
Lol
Whole thing is stupid. They literally said 10-15 years ago that they will just wait till America leaves and then theyll come back.
Everyone said that, including US military. Common sense
Patience is only one of their strong suits.
You can’t wage a war for 15+ years as the away team and expect to win it without serious consequences.
You mean taliban are the ones who destroyed America and forced them to leave
Nation-building and removing Taliban rule over Kandahar were not supposed to have been US goals.
Ihan Omar is so happy that the US lost to the Taliban
@Greta Dumberg So am I
Hard for pussies to win when you are only there for money lmao
@Greta Dumberg And you know that how?
@Greta Dumberg don’t use Greta name for stupid comments.
American companies that make supplies for the war effort were successful.
Just like in America there’s more evil than there is good!
as someone who remembers Vietnam and how it ended I just see so many similarities. that was a lost cause too.

@Soy News um…Trump was the one that started the withdrawal idiot😅
@Greta Dumberg you are obsessed with ilhan Omar.
Time is like a flat circle. Yeah no lie the United States has taken this exam and they fail everytime.
I’m sure FORD is happy. Maybe give them some electric trucks. Doesn’t seem like there are a lot of electric outlets.
Toyota is probably angry. The Hilux and Land Cruiser were the vehicles of choice.
We did build them a multimillion dollar gas station.
Those ford’s aren’t even built in the US. And they are very old on top of that.
We used old chevy suburbans and Toyota land cruisers suv and pickups.
And if you look at the line up of the vehicles on that base. They were destroyed. We destroy the equipment when we leave.
Go to destroy Taliban, 20yers later they came back stronger with advanced equipment and weaponry. Well done.
Actually it appears that we armed them
The haunting memories of Vietnam repeats again in Afghanistan.
