“We should have talked to the Russians about trying to gain control of that Middle Ages backward, moon worshipping, women enslavig cesspool.”
We knew that from the Ruskies’ public 10yr beating. Control wasn’t what was needed in Af-crap-istan. TOTAL DESTRUCTION was, but we weren’t willing/allowed to do that.
Nation building is BS and a complete waste of American lives! The Ruskies showed the world that fact many years ago. We didn’t learn from it.
If you wanted to describe a country by what the people DO most consistently, and nearly to the complete exclusion of all/any other activities, for these guys it would be:
1. Murder one another
2. Grow Opium
3. Bear children
For decades now, they have been the recipients of billions from foreign powers. Not one iota of any thing in their lives or behavior will have changed or improved once we leave! This gives a whole new dimension to the expression, "Stuck on stupid".
