There is an estimated 3 trillion dollars worth of mineral wealth buried in Afghanistan. I kinda think we actually gave it shot to install and support a stable regime which would allow us to extract it and bring Afghanistan a little closer to the 21st century. It could possibly have been a win win for everyone. Unfortunately nobody in Afghanistan seemed interested or assisted in those goals and having already spent two trillion dollars trying, we just cut our loses.
That’s my take on it. Now it’s a matter of funding the terrorists err I mean the freedom fighters and go after Pakistan and China BRI.
