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.

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?
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
