We're getting our butts kicked, again. Eerie images of Saigon déjà vu.
My heart goes out to the Afghan people. We know what hell is about to descend upon you. We saw what happened to you the last time the Taliban were in charge.
We tried. No one in the world cares anymore. You're on your own. Sorry.

Unfortunately, my Texas friend, you are right. This world is just not ready to be civil at home or abroad. Thousands more are being killed now, not for nation, but for religion.

Yeah the Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Raytheon types are not going to be happy. They just lost $1+T in future revenues.
Gotta find a new war somewhere. What's happening in Iran?
Can we finally get fed up with Kim Fatso-il and go take him out? It's a hilly country and with chinese supplies and russian advisors we could be involved again in ... well, let's leave that to the next generation.
We shot our nut. Leave the others for the next generation of American old white men to make complete asses of themselves and keep the streak alive.

Invading someone you can beat is just what we don't want. It's too easy. Not enough bombs, bullets and missiles will be expended in a short successful conflict. We need something protracted and expensive to keep supplied with weapons and body bags.
