Afghanistan is proving to be Hadrians wall for America.
16 years and some bazillions of $$$ later, hollow US promises and prosperity are falling flat on themselves.
Terrorism continues to grow. Land continues to slip away from US hands. Billions of dollars worth of drug trade is flourishing right under nose of American troops. The ranks of ANA(Afghan National Army) are filled with drug crazed lunatics apart from their commandoes. Same is the condition of USA's puppet regime.
Vast mahority of land is controlled by Taliban. Right under the nose of Mighty US army(good for nothing army if you ask me).
And to shift blame from its own incompetence and after creating monumental amounts of dog shit. Pentagon conveniently shifts blame onto Pakistan. A country which they know is too weak from internal strife and spill over of conflict from Afghanistan to defend itself. Thus the US mouth pieces go around using the carrot and the stick, good cop bad cop to threaten and harass their supposed partners. Much like a depraved, rabid bully.
One wonders if this a failure of US military might or is this all nefarious design yet to unfold. Like we saw with Syrian rebels who were US BFFs but turned to be lunatic khariji terrorists. And how US weapons conveniently found their way into ISIS hands.
Whereas, the hundreds of millions uninformed Americans, who are sitting thousands of miles from actual countries under discussion. Sipping jack daniels and watching God knows what monstrosity Hollywood has to offer. Cheer on their troops thinking they are some sort of comic book heroes. The people who won't know difference between Georgia and Kosovo. Or Tajikistan and Kazakhstan for that matter.
So one wonders if US is another Soviet Empire or another Roman Empire in the making, in the graveyard of empires.
I like how this issue had United Americans accross party lines. Woke up to this news on Reddit and accross other major online portals. No mater what thier ideology people agreed mostly on what Trump said.
If only more Americans read the discussions on this forum they would realise most of the Pakistanis( at least this community which rerpesents sudo intellect Pakistanis) hate the way of our life here .
Even the Pakistanis expats while enjoying thier stay in West ,spew venom here about democracy or liberal attitudes and west in general. No matter what at the end most of you come out with a Muslim first attitude , while others hide behind " it's all conspiracy, we did nothing wrong".
While hosting and encouraging opportunistic Chinese troll posts bashing every news about US . None of you guys have any idea about how democratic way of life works . last year I was having positive impression about you bunch , but deep down you all hate the way we are.
