bgreene is merely parroting one of old lying addled and treasonous Joe Biden's claims. Here's what Biden said as he tried to deflect from his Afghan withdrawal debacle:
Our true strategic competitors, China and Russia, would love nothing more than the United States to continue to funnel billions of dollars in resources and attention into stabilizing Afghanistan indefinitely.
What the US was spending in Afghanistan has little effect on the US economy or the federal budget. To see Uncle Chocolate Chocolate Chip act as if those billions matter as he tries to push a $3,000,000,000,000 porkfest through would be laughable if it weren't so sad.
What China and Russia DO LOVE seeing is the once-superpower USA humiliated on the world stage.
As Bernard Lewis once said, "...the danger here is that America risks being seen as
harmless as an enemy, and treacherous as a friend... It's a very dangerous lesson to teach the planet."
