TRUMP:: WE ARE STUCK WITH AFGHANISTAN--YOU BREAK IT--YOU OWN IT.

TRUMP: BUSH-NEOCON WARS OF CHOICE ARE AN UNENDING COSTLY COMMITMENT

CONCLUSION: WE CAN NEVER MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN  WITH THE COSTLY ECONOMIC MILLSTONE OF SIMMERING OLD WARS LIKE AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ, SYRIA, AND YEMEN AROUND OUR NECEKS FROM WHICH WE CAN NOT EXIT!

ALTERNATIVE: WE MUST BREAK FREE--OR FACE A FUTURE OR PENURY AND DECLINE.

IMMUTABLE TRUTH: WE CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO BE THE WORLD POLICEMAN

My mom had a favorite little antique shop she would drag me into as a small boy.  It was cluttered with fine, very old and very delicate things.  Things a little boy might bump into and easily break.  Old Mr. Wither's who owned the place, sat at his desk in the corner and watched me like a hawk watches its  prey. If I got too close to a shaky table of stacked with ancient and delicate ceramics he would tap his pencil on a little glass vase on his desk to get my attention.  Then seeing me look up, he would point to a large sign on the wall over his head with his pencil.  It read: "IF YOU BREAK IT YOU OWN IT!"

That is just how it is with the nations we have invaded--some unecessisarily.  When we invade a nation, we destroy its infrastructure, we capitate its  leadership, we often destroy its infrastructure ---we take over.  We impose our ideas of government and culture on a alien, uncompliant, resistant population.  No one--least of all Americans--want some alien invaders to tell them how to live.  Yet that is what we do as invaders.    

 As a consequence...the governments we impose on the  invaded countries DO NOT REPRESENT THE PEOPLE THEY GOVERN.   The Afghan  government we have inserted into that nation  does not represent the people of Afghanistan it represent the American overlords to whom they are responsible and who pays them.  That is the incontestable, introconvertable fact twhy the Afghan government...with all its American military advisors, embedded troops and military hardware can NEVER WIN THE ALLEGIENCE OF THE PEOPLE.  It is an American government IMPOSED on the Afghans.

The Taliban still control nearly half off the that nation...after sixteen years of continuous pounding by American arms and bombs.  That is how it will be forever.  You don't have to be a genius to figure that out.   If we can only our political and military geniuses could have  realized that back in 2001!

Last night President Trump fell in line with the globalists, new-cons, war mongers and Democrats  when he "reluctantly" explained to the nation why we are stuck in Afghanistan. The fact is that Afghanistan and the other nations we liberated are all  costly millstones around our necks---forever more.

President Bush 43's disastrous decision to STAY in Afghanistan to make that nation safe for "democracy" after bin Laden sneaked away..will be one of the dumbest, costliest mistakes in /American history.  Someone should fund a huge DC monument for him. To remind us of our greatest errors.  Perhaps we can then remember these errors before we are urged to mindlessly repeat them over and over again.

The only glimmer of hope is that....the Taliban will wise up---since we cant do it---and  agree to a cease fire and a coalition government.  But sadly we are in this case  now dependent upon the wisdom and good sense of the bearded, ssandlaed , turban headed Taliban to pluck our chestnuts out of the hot fire.
