And you haven’t a clue do you. This is not a U.K. political issue any more. But hey, Brexit, Scummy Tories, Boris, Immigration, whatever…..
I'm quite sure you've displayed you're woefully ignorant when it comes to foreign policy in this thread.
You keep comparing ww2 reconstruction of Germany to this. It's completely different, and you compare the continued station of American troops there as if it is similar to the nature of deployment in Afghanistan.
After the war, the Germans and Japanese if you want to include those efforts as well did not have large segments of populations engaging in guerilla warfare. Those populations were unified people who saw themselves as a nation state.
Afghanistan like much of the middle east is just arbitrary lines that have grouped tribes and religious sects together that at this point do not see themselves as having a shared identity. They don't want to have a western society at this point. I don't know how you haven't learned over the past 20 years, you can't just murder people into submission into accepting the way of life you want them to have.
After 20 years of allied influence/rule the Germans and Japanese were in a far different situation than what Afghanistan is. It doesn't matter how long we stay there, with how many troops. Sure you could effectively oppress them into it with massive resources expended, it's just not worth it.
It's a shame. I feel for those who spilled blood fighting for it to see it all go to waste. But it's like getting someone to quit drugs or make a big life change, they've got to want to do it themselves or it'll never take.
And your whole conclusion you jumped to as if Japan/US is just going to hand over Taiwan was just another dramatic, ignorant view.
I won't even go near the BLM thing, that was just bizarre.
