Everything I know about Afghanistan I owe to "Homeland," or maybe it was the French "Kabul Kitchen." But seriously, what might have succeeded in Afghanistan? Old-school missionary work. Unfortunately there are not enough traditional Catholic priests and religious to do that, and post Dignitatis Humanae institutional Catholicism doesn't believe in conversion any more. P.S., America: while you're looking abroad, your country is burning down--the real battle's at home because it is for America's soul.

Well, its for the matchless resources and impregnable geography too.

They mean to erase us, and don’t believe in the soul.

The Church when still powerful couldn’t save the Indians, they certainly can’t help us. Of course the Church we have has defected, and in business with the open borders human trafficking trade in America, and paid by the government handsomely.

I’m Catholic of course.

Anyone with a modicum of geopolitical savvy would know to stay out of Afghanistan. I've read a number of commentators point out the obvious that no one can help the Afghans if they are unwilling to help themselves. Take out three letters from Afghans and substitute five other letters and you have a Will Shortz solution to the puzzle.

America is a giant ghetto, elites are treasonous and need be reigned in.

I couldn't be more serious. I'm not talking milksop missions, but the kind that sent Jesuits out to the Mohawks and Japanese and Franciscans to California and the Holy Ghost Fathers to Africa. What else is there? Neo-con technocrats and evangelists have made nary a dent in past decades. If Christ can conquer the Vikings, He can surely do the same in Afghanistan.

Sum of Conflict

The objective of any USA WDC conflict is the subjugation of American domestic political elements, no matter where the path the WHAT and the WHO are Americans who do not yet kneel.

The when and how are left to events, the WHY is they must win it all here 🇺🇸 or perish.

This is the sum of all conflicts now.

Its only farce if you take liars at their word.

The true policies are the results. Always. What are the consistent results over decades?

There is of course that matter of $1 Trillion, but politics is Power. Now Sir Lyons what has happened to every American President since Truman by going to war?

Weakened.

What happened to the American Military as the end result of every war since Korea? Weakened, often disgraced.

Did foreign powers do this, or domestic?

That there is no governing power is untrue, its simply not in the Presidency or the (hapless, enslaved by Oath) military.

Its the permanent government, which benefits from weakened elected government and weakened Presidents, and one may daresay the military which was the last part of government that took their Oaths seriously. Was, as our Generals and the events of January showed us.

(Shh, the Empire is the State Dept/CIA, the Embassy’s are Imperial offices, and the government such as it is resides on the 7th floor of Foggy Bottom. 🤫 Don’t tell anyone, not that they’ll believe you).

Pedant alert (sorry!) ... the tragedy-farce saying is from Hegel, but which Marx quotes approvingly, and acknowledges, in his '18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte's (1851). .

I should have known Marx would just steal from Hegel...
