Tribal stuff. We should hsce never gone in. Globalist stupidity
The British tried, The soviet union tried, The US tried to civilize a bunch of camel humpers. The Chinese up next?
Not tribal. And supported from the outside by state sponsors of terror that nobody in the Swamp “went into” because heaven forefend the USA wins, you know.
You are absolutely correct. That said, we are becoming increasingly tribal as a nation - fueled by pseudo-intellectual pinheads in media, politics, and academia.
Divide and conquer has been the mantra of the left and their soldiers in all of the above venues. There are dire consequences to such irresponsible and self-serving behavior.
We should have gone in for a punitive expedition. We should never have attempted so-called “Nation Building”. That’s a pipe dream among highly education morons in the State Department and foreign policy establishment of both political parties.
Oh, but we did have to go in, as there were many corrupt individuals counting on making money from the conflict.
The Taliban is not a tribe.
It is a brutal intolerant religious cult of institutionalized violent sociopathy.
It destroys tribes.
