But I don't know what goal they achieved in Afghanistan, the Taliban is back in power, what goal they achieved in Iraq after killing tens of thousands and what goal they achieved in Vietnam and Korean wars... they fought a lot of useless wars and made a lot of meaningless killings.
Dear,
You see useless wars and meaningless killings in person because you are a good man.
Great powers tend to have global ambitions and "political objectives" to pursue and fulfill in reality. You will find some answers in following post:
then why has this same US lost every war since you and i were born? just fact checkingbro. It depends. If by “wars” you mean protracted, asymmetrical counter-insurgency operations like Afghanistan, I don’t think the US (or any other conventional force) has a good enough track record of...

US invaded Afghanistan to dismantle Al-Qaeda Network. This organization was deemed responsible for 9/11 given its history and more. Osama Bin Laden was retraced and killed in
2011. Hamza Bin Laden was retraced and killed in
2019. A deal was reached with Afghan Taliban to make sure that they will not allow any organization to plot attacks on US from Afghanistan in
2020.
You see how things moved forward?
Analyze how Hamza bin Laden's death reveals the ongoing struggles within al-Qaida.

Osama bin Laden’s son was being groomed to lead Al Qaeda and was seen as crucial for luring younger recruits, who have flocked to ISIS instead.

Al-Qaeda Network was the primary target and focus. Rest was distraction and noise for "war profiteering."

Check the US Department of State list of terrorist organizations and you won't find the title Afghan Taliban in it.
The deal matters.
Afghan Taliban know very well what is at stake. Significant explosions rocking Kabul was ample reminder.

In regards to the Vietnam War:
The Russians are now going to try to destroy the industry in Europe and the US in an easy way; It is enough to sell the raw materials to the competitors of your enemies at cheaper prices than what is available in the market.. Then for example, the cost of production in India, China, South...

It is important to focus on the "long game." How it is played. Short-term gains are useless. Cold War was the longest lasting war to be fought in modern times - it was fought in lands of others but in USA and USSR respectively.
Which side won the Cold War? Vietnam is warming up to US again in fact.
I would like to draw attention to developments in Somalia as well. Guess who is back there and who are in power there? People are too fixated on Hollywood's Black Hawk Down - stuck in the past.

Americans have mastered the art of imperialism. Check American military footprint around the world - you will realize that US is like a continuation of the the British Empire. It never died.
How many US military bases are there in the world? Where are they? What are they? Answer all your questions using the information

They are
not exactly Evil - some of their missions were sensible and helpful to locals in different regions from time-to-time.
But arms is a multi-billion dollar industry.
The bottom line is that they know how to fight a war. They are not running from anywhere - they are literally everywhere.

I am a well-wisher on a personal level. I hope that China - Taiwan issue is sorted out amicably. Both are prosperous lands and valuable contributors to global computing needs.
