6 Trillion dollars. But the republicans get rustled if you want to invest 30 billion in the US economy.

Because the 9th US General in command there says we're right on the cusp of victory.

Oil, and complete control of the poppy market world wide. No one country has controlled both their ever. Its trillions in annual revenue. Drop in the hat to what we have spent to date.

If the early 80's Soviet Union couldn't do it, what makes us think we can do anything? With today's optics and rules of engagement?
Get the frick out of there.

It's not a sexy story anymore to the MSM

Damn, we can wage war on another continent for decades but can’t even defend our own border.

17 years there vs about 15 years in Vietnam. Hell Russia's war with Afghanistan was 10 years

Still a shithole country. When the US pulls out it will collapse and the Taliban will take over again in a month.

Much different media attention at this point compared to the ending of Vietnam.
Nam was deciding elections. I am not sure Clinton or trump mentioned Afghanistan once

Yeah, except no. We're still there because we're the bottom block in a game of Jenga. The whole place is destabilized and we don't have a way of removing ourselves without creating a complete shitshow vacuum of power in the region.

And Vietnam is actually a decent place today. Afghanistan will sadly never be decent.
