God bless America 🇺🇸🙏
Our socialists are openly hoping for the same outcome here.
The Russian people began to turn heavily against the communists. I hope the same thing happens here.
Yes-communism collapsed in the former Soviet Union.
It’s not for nothing that it’s called the “graveyard of empires.”
You know the US will collapse with a Democrat government in charge
(Jeopardy music in background) What is ….. hmmmm
I think the Soviet Onion fighting Afghanistan led to the collapse of their empire. Lifetime political hacks rose to power but didn’t have a clue how to think or lead.
Do I have to spell out the obvious?
With that said we need to seriously consider wiping out the region or taking control off the entire middle east for the next century if we are to save western civilization from mainstream Islam.
I thought of this today, and then I recalled a collapse also happened to Great Britain after they meddled in Afghanistan twice.
United States has too many outlets of “bread and circuses”/mortgages/retirement accounts to distract from. Afghan is a non sequitur in terms of a “kill shot” of democrats. Economy is a different story which is more of a connection to the USSR.
I think there is a decent chance that the US will break into smaller pieces. But I don’t see Afghanistan being a catalyst for that. We’re just heading there anyway.
But I do see this pattern:
USSR went to Afghanistan, had a heavy hand, the UN and everybody made some noise, but allowed the Soviets to do their thing. But they failed and ran away.
USA went to Afghanistan, spent 20 years trying to re-shape it and not everybody thought it was OK, but they let us do our thing. But we failed and ran away.
Watch China. They will move in, and they won’t mess around. Remember the Uighurs? China will have a heavy hand, they will settle that place down, move about a million people into the country and really transform it. And what will the world say? It’s OK for Russia? It’s OK for America? But China better knock it off? No. China will have a very free hand in Afghanistan, and they will have more luck than anyone else.
Afghanistan: The rock that breaks every country that tries to conquer it.
The French were in VietNam for a long time and we then took their place.
When the Russians left Afghanistan? That is completely different. The Soviets were deep in debt, had an illegitimate government installed by force and fraud, were running an authoritarian society plagued by universal surveillance, and corruption was absolutely rampant in their government. Totally different from our healthy economy, our honest elections, our respect for free speech and firewall against domestic spying, and our corruption free government that is operating with the integrity of Jefferson, Madison and Washington.

The Russians got chopped up but they left with their tanks rolling out in an orderly manner. There was no Saigon moment to embarrass them
I mentioned this very thing lately.
Oh that's right. The US government is resolving this issue by replacing the population.
What happened?
The sale of vodka went through the roof.
