I for one admire America, and want what's in her best interests.
Its funny how the jingoist morons usually wind up doing what, in the long term, helps the enemies they use as a bludgeon to accuse others of treason
What you think we should have stayed out of Afghanistan? What are you, a Taliban lover? Oops just got fast forwarded twenty years and the Taliban are celebrating their now unified nation under Taliban rule, carrying American weapons and driving American armor and even flying (oh so briefly) an American helicopter
Same here and I genuinely think this Ukraine conflict is a terrible miscalculation.
Bombing the crap out of Al-Qaida training camps and Bin Laden hideouts all sounded perfectly fine to me, that whole nation-building fantasy is where Afghanistan went wrong.
Fun fact btw, the users that were non stop shitting on the US for Iraq/Afghanistan have made a sudden 180 and are now the loudest pro-war voices when it comes to Russia/Ukraine.
When you remind them the only thing they come up with is calling that "whataboutisms"
