US$2 trillion thrown into a black hole in Afghanistan

 The USA also tried to export its democracy to Vietnam and got burnt very badly. Likewise, their intent to spread democracy to Afghanistan ended in abject failure and US$2 trillion thrown into a black hole, with the democratic endeavor disappearing without a trace. Oops, sorry billions of dollars of weapons also disappeared with them and traced into the arms of the Taliban.

To add insult to injury, the Taliban reverse-engineered and reconditioned those weapons that were supposedly rendered unusable into parade-worthy showpieces to antagonize the USA. Never underestimate farmers of having that capability. After all, they also drove the USA out of the country, just like Mao Tze Tung. Afghanistan is doing the right thing today, wanting to trade with China and even building roads in difficult terrain across the Himalayas, which is the Wakhan Corridor, to show to China and inviting China to bite. In fact, Afghanistan shares a narrow common border with Xinjiang and trade can be really convenient and fruitful. I was never aware they were that close geographically as neighbors, honestly.

  1. The USA loves throwing money into black holes, more than loving its own people. The money thrown around the world creating wars could have been better used to lift its citizens out of poverty, homelessness and infrastructure renewals. But why worry, when it can just print at will. Money is no problem to the USA and what it wants to do with it, right?

    The most ridiculous accusation is that USA's unsolvable drug problem is all because of China providing drugs to its addicts. If that is the case, why isn't China itself having the same drug problem. flush with drugs to send to the USA? China would be better off manufacturing stuff like EVs, consumer products, smartphones and chips to sell to the world than just producing drugs for the USA addicts. The drug lords in the Philippines, the drug cartels in the Golden Triangle, said to be under the control of the CIA, could do a better job than China. They have all the open channels to enable the drugs to enter the USA.
