We had respect of the Middle East with how easily we dealt with Saddam and ran taliban off into the mountains. We lost it trying to nation build and be nice. They aren’t the people you do this with.

The way Afghanistan has happened now has just made us more likely to be targeted here.

Parking lot for both if a next time has to happen for either.

No we didn't.


We kept abandoning our allies over there, and kept trying to make them puppet states.

That doesn't garner Respect. If you think it does, then you should research Vichy France.

Because that's exactly what we were trying to do over there.
