The Era of Biden

[Smitty-48]

I would have to agree with the Afghans

NATO being a conventional military which is inclined to employ vastly too much firepower

attack helicopters, artillery, air strikes, burning the village to save the village

the Taliban are vastly less threatening over all

while they may go about settling scores with their enemies, they don't flatten the villages as they go

they just don't possess the firepower, all they really have is AK's, RPG-7's and IED's\

the face of NATO is a 2000 lb JDAM going off where you live with your family

[StCapps]

You are dreaming if you think we can win this war without boots on the ground. No war has ever been won otherwise.

Taking land by drone only works so long as you can maintain superiority, you go to the sky, they go underground.

If the Mexican border has proven nothing it is that if you don't cover all bases the enemy wl exploit your vulnerabilities.

And before you say Japan, think really hard, because there is nothing to compare the two with.

winning the war is not the point

even if America did win it, what does that get them?

You don't go into hostile territory for a stroll in the park. If you don't go in to win, you shouldn't go in at all.

if you shouldn't have gone in at all, that doesn't mean you stay around and try to win a war where winning gets you nothing of value

sunk costs fallacy

No, they rape women, children, they kill the men and any educated woman, and take over a region, or leave it to be destroyed by making it so that it can't obtain any form of support from the outside.

A 2k bomb is humane in comparison.

sunk costs fallacy

You don't remember when we were on the DNC do you? I said a long time ago we should have been out of there after we didn't find UBL in there... and we should have let the UN take over and re-build the country...

The US military was an entity that chewed bubblegum and kicked ass, and it was all out of bubblegum.

Now, I have no fucking idea what it is meant to be...

again, I find that to be fake news propaganda

the Taliban are the militia which formed to fight against the raping of women & children by the drug dealers

the Taliban means "the Students"

the drug dealers come to the Madrassas and kidnap the boys to force them into child prostitution

it's called Bacha Bazi, "Boy Play"

NATO forces call it Man Love Thursdays

NATO troops were actually ordered to allow child raping to go on under their noses, right on NATO bases

this is what the Taliban fight against, this is why they are called the Students

they are the defenders of the Islamic schools

NATO allied itself with the drug dealers, so the Taliban were driven to fight NATO therein

yet here you are advocating to glass the place, just so America can claim an irrelevant "victory", indulging in a sunk cost fallacy

you first plan was better, protip

you want America to go back to kicking ass, Afghanistan ain't the place to do it, find a better target

[Smitty-48]

you want America to go back to kicking ass, Afghanistan ain't the place to do it, find a better target

simply return to leveraging America's true source of global power

the Mahanian Eternal Seapower ruling the waves for Freedom of Navigation

you want America to go back to kicking ass, Afghanistan ain't the place to do it, find a better target

simply return to leveraging America's true source of global power projection

the Mahanian Eternal Seapower ruling the high seas for Freedom of Navigation

there's a better target

see how easy that was TC?

Afghanistan? Fuck Afghanistan

never get off the boat

ground war quagmires are for suckers

[Smitty-48]

Never get off the boat

America the Leviathan

rule by the sea

[Montegriffo]

Never get off the boat

America the Leviathan

rule by the sea

It worked for the British Empire.
