Thoughts?
I say all the troops should be brought home, unconditionally, immediately. And the U.S. should withdraw from NATO.Thoughts?
We wish but there are two big problems with that wish. One is that, like it or not, the US is the Superstate and if it pulls all of its military might out there will be chaos and the second is, what all 'war' is about, .............. 'just business' and it is that 'just business' which rules the world.I say all the troops should be brought home, unconditionally, immediately. And the U.S. should withdraw from NATO.

Rare minerals, gold, silver, opium, pipelines and bordering countries keep US troops in Afghanistan but in the end the Afghans will throw you out as they would have done the Taliban/Saudi warriors and always have any 'foreign' invading force. They will blow up the dams I expect, as the Taliban were about to do -Ideologically I agree, but realistically not even possible. If US pulls out completely, the Afghans are not strong enough to govern independently so that opens them up to ISIS, and then we go back to square one. Firstly, we should have never gotten involved in teh first place. We can't police the world.
Now, regarding NATO, I ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY agree with you. Like most globalist initiatives, it began as an idealistic dream but turned into another horrible reality.
1. The same argument made to justify every imperial occupation. Commonly known as the "white man's burden" argunent.We wish but there are two big problems with that wish.

Afghanistan will look after itself poppet, don't you worry xxx They have lost many of their best people but their memory goes back centuries -----------1. The same argument made to justify every imperial occupation. Commonly known as the "white man's burden" argunent.
2. So labor needs to be mobilized to change that. Not just in the U.S. but also in Afghanistan where the organized defeat of the leftist government (following betrayals by the USSR and by its own political leaders) set the stage for the present state of affairs.
