As a news anchor once said: “why are we not winning in Afghanistan?”

[PradoTLC]

Who needs enemies when we have "allies" like the filth above, no more, ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Where did the $2.3 trillion go? To the Afghans?

It went to the Military Industrial corporations.

The same people who pushed Nato eastwards and have landed us in this mess.

 

[Tigers]

The $14 trillion US government spent on wars were financed by countries that bought US treasury bonds. China, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan have all bought billions in US treasury bonds and profited from them.

Pakistan should annex Afghanistan. We are the largest stakeholders in Afghanistan.

You are going to need a more compelling argument than that boss

Well we also have religious and cultural relations with them.

In my opinion that is more than enough.

You are missing perhaps the strongest argument/connection

Hi,

Ober 2 million dead afghans---nation obliterated---children and families blown to smithereens by US bombs---.

America entering AFG without any planning---with its head in its ar-se---.

Had no troops on the ground---let OBL escape from Kandhar---and then thru Tora Bora---.

Had no troops on the ground to follow and take OBL in Tora Bora---even though it had 24 hours of time---no troops came to take out OBL---.

And to top it all off---the US or all the white boys armies in the whole world---did not have any HIGH ALTITUDE FIGHTINH TROOPS at that time.

Do you have any clue what it takes for a soldier to fight above 7500 ft elevation.

In War Innocent people die, Soldiers get PTSD and die, Politicians and Contractors get rich, Culprits never get Punished , War crimes are committed, But War never bring any solution to the table.

We have every right to claim Afghanistan. And that strongest argument would be?
