One can only hope and time will surely tell. It would have been nice to actually set up shop and get our hands on those sweet sweet rare earth metals but oh well, fuck it. I guess it’ll all still be there later, akmed and the boys will soon splinter into different groups and tear up Kabul and every other city infighting just like they did last time they took control

*I understand the downvote, I was being humorous about the earth metals. The geopolitical reasons for us going in and staying in the Middle East are a lot more complicated than resources or the desire to “abuse and subjugate”, we are working off Kissinger’s model that no one country in the Middle East can be allowed to gain the majority of the influence over the region, we don’t want Iran or turkey or even Israel for that matter to call all the shots. It’s a complete clusterfuck and that is by design. The Kissinger school of geopolitics has been a bumpy ride
