Different country, but this should give people a good idea on how corrupt these USA backed governments are. They are just as corrupt and abusive as the terrorist groups. This is why those groups get so much support.

when u can’t make money off of it there’s no point
All that could be done was done. It was supposed to be a hammer and anvil type situation. The anvil had other plans. I agree that a lot of money was wasted in contracts and money being handed off to influence shadow governors, etc.
I do understand if you feel mislead on info. Mostly honest reports and numbers went up around the clock, compiled again and again, until the were simplified enough to make it to the pentagon. Unfortunately what gets reported in the news depends on what media companies find the most sensational, at the time. There’s a lot of stuff recorded and reported on that never sees TV because it doesn’t make money.

Not to get too off topic but it's weird how threads go these days...lots of "pick me" posts/dap fishing and regurgitation of LITERALLY the same posts... Can't make it up. Old threads had a much better flow and communication. Peep it next time one is upped
what a waste of time and money
Not for the Bush’s and a bunch of other people who profited. shyt was so blatant.

They lost me when they started taking peace talks with the Taliban. I thought we didn't negotiate with terrorists 
These mufuggas blowing up buildings, raping women and shooting politicians in the head and meeting in Doha the next week talmbout they don't know what's happening
We look like grade A clowns trying to villainize Maduro, Kim Jong Un or Jinping yet, willing to engage with and excuse what these dudes are doing.

That’s a simplistic way to look at things. With that logic, the Nazis had support in Germany and Kim Jong Un and his family has support in North Korea. The people there are scared of getting killed so they accept a new way of life hoping they’ll get to live. Nothing more, nothing less.
what is actually happening on the ground?

They need audience and to sell ads.
Everything is sensationalized and turned into entertainment.

Almost 4 trillion dollars spent on the War in Afghanistan in 20 years and absolutely nothing to show for it.
Imagine if just half of that money was spent on healthcare, infrastructure, housing, education? Just half.
Lockheed, Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop shareholders (most of congress) ate well for the past decades though
20 years…..I’m saying this lightly when I say it really blows my mind that we’ve been in Afghanistan since I was in the damn 4th grade
I remember them “War On Terror” days vividly….Back in the day when Al Qaeda was America’s latest boogeyman on the block.All them post-9/11 color-coded warning alerts we would get about an “imminent” terrorist attack, especially whenever Osama Bin Laden would just magically appear every once in a blue moon to deliver a taped message and them Cacs still couldn’t find their former agent
I have a lotta nostalgia for the 2000’s but it definitely had its share of spooky ass moments.

They’ve literally just been sitting back biding time before they felt comfortable enough to go HAM on reconquering their unconquerable land.
