China and Russia would love to see us continue spending billions every year trying to maintain Afghanistan .

Our mission there is long over

Yep, I agree, but abruptly pulling out all our troops and giving the Country to the Taliban instead of a slow, orderly pull out was a complete disaster and a national disgrace. China and Russia have nothing to do with it. That's just smoke and misdirection on your part.

Russia and China like seeing our country waste money because they are adversarial with us .

We were wasting billions per year on Afghanistan till Biden pulled the plug .
That’s the point .

Actually it was just about a billion per year, not "billions". But that's besides the point. it's not how much we were spending. It's how we look to out allies. We are a disgrace to the world now.. Terrorists organizations all over the world are cheering the Taliban for their win. Way to go Biden!!! He's done so much harm to our Country in such a short amount of time. Even the late night liberal talk show hosts are making fun of him now.

“President Biden understands history when it comes to Afghanistan. He made the difficult decision to not hand over this longest of American wars to a fifth president,” Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Senate’s No. 2 Democrat, said this week."

You have to wonder - is he talking about president Harris?

Know what? You're right. I made a typo. Sue me. It should have said "last" year, not "per" year. Don't forget that last year and this year we were drawing down our forces, instead of 100,000 we were down to 2400. Additionally, there were no casualty deaths, no major battles, and a host of other reasons for the decline in cost.


Now, instead of worrying about the smoke and mirrors excuse about the cost, why don't you try actually answering Pipe Dreams post?

Destroyer you didn’t write a typo you wrote out the word billion and claimed it cost us one billion per year which is absolutely wrong.

Now youre same as trump the lying cheating traitor .

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."

Pipe - youre wrong again .

The costs are the costs direct from FORBES, a typically conservative and accurate source of financial information.

This isnt a popularity contest this is a record of FACTS.
You quote BS I quote facts. You may not like it but doesnt change facts
