So I was right, you really do believe that although it was the longest war the US has ever been involved in 20 years of fighting and dying in Afghanistan wasn't quite long enough and if we had just stayed for 21 everything would've been peachy keen. And that belief is just dumb, the fact that the corrupt Afghan government we were supporting collapsed almost instantly after the withdrawal of American troops proves they could never stand on their own 2 feet, not in a million years; the contrast between Afghanistan and Ukraine is quite dramatic. By the way, if you remember Trump came very close to pulling out of Afghanistan but chickened out because of the political flack that would involve, although I am quite certain that if he had gone through with it you would today be praising him to high heaven for doing so just as today you're praising him to high heaven for NOT doing so.
