>The Afghanistan war cannot be won militarily and peace will only be achieved through a political resolution with the Taliban, the newly-appointed American general in charge of US and NATO operations has conceded.
>In his first interview since taking command of NATO’s Resolute Support mission in September, Gen. Austin Scott Miller provided NBC News with a surprisingly candid assessment of the seemingly never-ending conflict, which began with the US invasion of Afghanistan in October, 2001.
GLSS GLASS GLASS THE WORLD BURNED IN FIRE, THE BAPTISIM OF FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY; BORN OF STRIFE AND SUFFERING DAMNATION DEEMED BY AMERICA, MANTLE OF LIBERTY Our own president says they're not 9/11 'n' sheit, so we should fuck off. I don't care for the drug trade and israel
Henry Morales
Who would have thought drone striking random people wouldn't lead to lasting stability and compliance?
Angel Sullivan
Step aside, Yankee. Leave Venezuela to Colombia & Bolsonaro. They'll give Maduro a free helicopter ride.
Amerikkka would just need to throw up a military blockade to prevent international intervention ie CHYNA
Wyatt Mitchell
We also have tigers.
Liam Collins
Any links besides RT?

>Iran >lebanonin >mozambique >angola >iraq >syria >and now afganistan
Why arent the americans tored of constantly losing?
Luke White
>70 IQ jungle nigger thinks the purpose of our soldiers being in the Middle East was ever to "win".
Ayden Green
I got to be honest. I didn’t know we were even at war.
Alexander Wright
Only because they won't let him massacre the Afghanis. That's how to win. Kill them all.
But then Jews would be on TV talking shit and emboldening other nation-states to talk shit about how the USA is so cruel and horrible and kills innocent raghead babies. Fuck that. We would have won Vietnam too. All you got in exchange was a bunch of poor Charlie mouths to feed.
an unironical solution would be to annex Afghanistan and have totalitarian power. you could force them violently into 21st century over some decades. biggest obstacle would be how much do Americans want to sacrifice for goatfuckers?
Pretty sure there was some reason for the occupation other than "war" with a few towel heads
Hudson Williams
>Taliban cannot be defeated without exterminating all muslims ftfy
Carson Walker
Opium.
Gavin Mitchell
Drugs and oil tbh fam
Jordan Collins
Bingo
Jason Stewart
We’re really just bored. Most people I know didn’t even know there troops still over there.
Meanwhile this btfo gun-grabber faggots because literal inbred retards with shitty guns held off the US military for 17 years. Muh drones and tanks did jack shit.
Nothing. But for jews? I'll give em my asshole on a silver platter.
Lucas Allen
nyt really doesn't understand the mind of a soldier, any soldier would love to be stationed at home defending the nation against invasion over being sent overseas to a sandy hell hole to fight an insurgent force.
Samuel Howard
It's all about Iran. Afghanistan should naturally be in their sphere of influence, but I'd still hope the USA is trading this concession for something.
Christian Bailey
Do you think any of these worthless entanglements in foreign military affairs have had any win-con? They are indefinite wars, simply a way to waste lives and funnel money into arms suppliers. There is no "winning" this kind of war because there is no goal. What was the goal in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, WWI or WWII(territorial expansion in the Pacific maybe. Woo, we got some worthless islands)? There was none
Elijah Cox
What the fuck are you talking about? We won that war just like we won Vietnam
Blake Garcia
the problem is that we went with the Hearts & Minds solution and then completely fucked it up. We could have succeeded with this method, all we had to do was be a better alternative to the Taliban in the eyes of the Afghan people and we would have won easily. The problem is we fucked that up because we didn't present them with a tangible solution to their problems, we tried to give western ideas to them too early (e.g. women not being property) and our troops weren't disciplined enough (incidents of dumb assholes throwing puppies off cliffs or giving piss bottles to kids) so we just looked like a bunch of asshole invaders to the Afghans
>Israeli puppet soldiers as if being an Iranian puppet is any better
Wyatt Cook
>country destroyed >infrastructure in tatters >only hillbillies in sand huts left fighting >leadership utterly obliterated >nothing left to do but waste money pulling in equipment to kill sand people (((lost)))
Parker Walker
What is there to win?? We killed osama and a shitload of muzzies, got access to rare earth metals and opium and now have a major airbase there
Mission accomplished
Mason Fisher
hebrew have you every seen a farmer, they are chad af you try going to war with a country full of them
Sebastian Flores
We were probably drone striking them and arming them at the same time.
Easton Rivera
There's the supply source for the opioid crisis.
Christian Brown
nah NYT is filled with repugnant yids who firmly, honestly believe that goyim exist to serve them and die for israel in the middle east
Jason Jones
Fake news source spouts fake news? What a shock.
Luke Miller
True of Iraq and Afghanistan Vietnam and Korea were to stop the spread of communism
Zachary Adams
Next up is the Latin American Theatre. Expect a pullout from Syria this season too, especially with the extension of Turkish operations to the East Euphrates
Jacob Thompson
Not really pathetic, Just stupid. Afghanistan is where empires go to die. From the British Empire to the Russians to the US. Nobody learns anything and blood flows free.
Sebastian Watson
Where’s the source you monkey eating hue?
Noah Long
This was bound to happen. I mean look at what flag the Americans planted on the moon.
It's ok guys; Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, and Mark Wahlberg are still alive. You'll be seeing muh brave tough 'murican hero Elite SEAL movies about Afghanistan for many years to come. Like the Holocaust, it can be real in your imagination forever.
Landon Campbell
>tfw >urstillnotsubbedtoredpillrasta
Alright boys & bois its truth time
wanna get the straight ? want real reporting ? from a RASTA?
YEA don't mind these brazil shitposters its REDPILL RASTA TIME
It wasn't a war though. It was a police action just like Vietnam. It's not a war unless a war is declared and the entire country is mobilized.
Hudson Russell
America could easily genocide every sand nigger there but why bother, we need the military here for Mexicans
Gavin Carter
We won twice in Vietnam. And then we left. We could have just exterminated the populace but we had restraint. Also that wasn't a "war" either.
Cooper Moore
>implying that they could ever ”win” the war in afghanistan Isn’t their occupation just to guard economical assets with military? I’ve got a hard time seeing that they’d actually care avout the inhabitants
Eli Gray
the burger fears the eternal poor farmer armed with cold war era weapons it's literally the burger kryptonite
>Vietnam and Korea were to stop the spread of communism You dont believe that propaganda do you? And even if it was true what should Asian politics matter to us? It was about protecting agriculture interests. Which I suppose was accomplished by burning it all. But protecting corporate interests should not be what the military is for.
Asher Sanders
America always loses because our military never fights for anything. Soldiers join idealistic and optimistic but most realize what is really going on and become disillusioned.
All of America’s wars post civil war have been for nothing but lining the pockets of already wealthy (((people))) and helping Israel against its enemies.
Gabriel Thomas
None of you Niggers have heard of a Pyrrhic Victory? We accomplished all of our objectives in this war. We have a sphere of influence as a further fuck you to Iran. The taliban “won” with everything being either wiped out or scattered around. We just didn’t have the funding to send out Search and Destroy missions to remove the Taliban cells that exist in Afghanistan.
Anthony Roberts
Congrats. American GIs literally fulfilled the legacy of every decrepit Vietnam vet unfortunate enough to of had survived the war against a people who literally embrace death.
Those zog puppets must of been so scared for their lives, dying in vain so Taylor Swift can tweet from the safety of her mansion.
Everyone loses in Afghanistan. Britain lost, Soviets lost, Muricans now... Afghanistan is unbeatable, you can't win against mountain dwelling people that never submit.
Jace Davis
>Americans invade country >Enemy retreats into neighbouring country >Regroups, rearms, begins guerilla shit >Neighbouring country cannot/will not deal with enemy on their own >Democrats switch from supporting conflict to opposing it >America gets bored and wants to go home Every time
Ayden White
stupidity is the height of pathetic-ness
Owen Gray
You lost over there too Nigel.
Asher James
fucking lol, imagine if these goat herder's were supplied with man portable SAM's and laser range finding equipment.
Samuel Russell
Unironically this is how you win wars against insurgents. You slaughter them. The Mongols knew this when they conquered Afghanistan
Every little brother wants to try succeeding at something their older brother failed. Maybe Chinks will try next if they ever become a superpower.
Henry Hill
It's almost like the Pashtuns culturally are the fucking Taliban, and without dramatic Soviet style bombing and gulag there was never a hope in changing them.
Brayden Martin
You fucked up Libya and let the refugees in
Nathaniel Perry
>He thinks the war was about stopping Al qaeda or the Taliban >He doesn't realize it was about securing heroin production and emerald mines which have both been complete for years
Are you new?
Michael Harris
>Assuming the Brits were'nt up to their fucking knecks in the same Yank shite Pathetic.
Liam Hill
>2500 dead >75% of deaths to IEDs >people who have never been there somehow interpret this as "Americans are getting dropped by AKs left and right!!!!!!"
>won twice >the war continued regardless and the enemy achieved its goal
>we totally won guise! Twice even.
What? Why didn’t the war end after we won “both times” ? Lol idk just believe me? What? The communists goals were to remove American political influence from south Vietnam and unite the country? I know they accomplished what they wanted and we didn’t but we still won guys please listen to me. They totally took higher casualties lol what? What does the union in civil war and the allies in ww2 taking higher casualties have to do with anything?
Henry King
>looked like a bunch of asshole invaders to the Afghans >looked
That's literally what Russia did and that didn't even work
Nolan Gutierrez
China is trying to take over Afghanistan with debt, so we can't feasibly continue military "conflict" over there. 'sides, who the fuck is in favor of military intervention in the middle east, besides NYT, anyway? >
William Clark
Ive read china was also sold mineral rights to large swaths of afghanistan, truly a globalist war
Ian Ross
>le based helicopter meme xD Pinochet was a kike puppet and so is bolsonaro.
And the most common photo they use is of a dead americans body beig airlifted out, you know hes dead because they have him belly down no stretcher, this is because belly up the body wants to fold like a lawn chair
