Im asking the question.
I dont know much about it.
We have forces close to there for a reason.
What is the reason?
I know this:
They have oil
They have a leader that isnt friendly with the united states.

Biden had American troops bug out in the wee hours of the night. How dumb was that?
This obsession of blaming the "other team" is so tiresome.

I wonder if government pukes will ever realize that some cultures don’t want our culture. Totally don’t match at all.
Afghanistan. Somalia. So many poor decisions.

145 billion in cash, 145 billion in arms….
Consider their reparations paid.

And when Biden left office we were spending 150.5 billion a year on illegal immigrants. A YEAR, not total. IN A YEAR!
Sounds like a low figure. Did Congress vote on a budget?
Once we add in the costs of extra needed state and municipal resources, the extra LE costs, the loss of personal and community peace of mind, etc etc we're likely talking hundreds of billions. This on top of Americans having their nation stolen from under them.
Treason it appears is not only acceptable but legal.

quote:Same reason we just spent 20 years in the Middle East - regime change. We can't idly sit by and let more and more countries deal oil in currency other than the U.S. dollar. It would crater our monetary system and crush the Deep State hold on America.
Can anyone give me a reason for going into Venezuela?
We can't have that, now can we.
God forbid we should develop a sound monetary system.

The Russians spent 10 years and tons of money trying to conquer Afghanistan. When it failed an Afghan writer explained why: "If you bombed Afghanistan for 10 years and you took pictures. Then the country had 10 years of peace and you took pictures. The pictures would look the same.

No doubt thousands upon thousands of corrupt politicians and thieves have stolen trillions of dollars from the US taxpayers.
All of them belong at the stake slowly burned alive ...

So this was another laundering scheme for the Uniparty?

It was all planned and orchestrated to fail. Failure to the Elites is a win-win!
Destabilizing countries and creating a vacuum consisting of “proxy militias/terror groups” to keep the wars going. And it goes round and round to feed the MIC & dark money laundering.
I’m so sick of this crap and it will never end if we continue to allow Israel’s fake Juuuz to run the world.
I feel bad for the citizens of Afghanistan that cooperated with our military and the CIA to be informants etc. And then they get left on the tarmac to be butchered by the Taliban.
I seen one video of a lady/mom throwing her baby over a barbed wire fence to try and get someone to take the baby and try to get on the last plane leaving.
There were some good people trying help a helpless cause in “the rebuild”
It was never about rebuildingX but rather, another money laundering operation.
I can see why people in other countries hate the USA.
The C Eye A makes a living by disruption and destruction.

Why did the Trump administration just give the Taliban 45 million dollars?
Who is the source for that? All I can find for a source is this: The latest cash payment to Afghanistan was reported Monday by anti-Taliban Afghanistan Green Trend Chair Amrullah Saleh, who is based in Kabul.

Who cares, those idiot taxpayers HAVE to pay anyway.

Tim Burchett believes it factual.

Among those reacting to the reports was Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett, who has introduced a bill aimed at stopping tax dollars from being given to the group that regained control of Afghanistan in 2021.
"Every week," Burchett posted on X in response to the reporting. "Pass my Bill Senate!"

Corporate America and others made major bank. Just wait till the older weapons sent to Ukraine paid with 20 year old dollars must be replaced by current dollars.
