They definitely did beat them. The petro dollar still exists. They lied about the reasons for the invasion but made a ton of money off why it was really started. Who knows if they didnt the USD mightve collapsed by now. Oil became the new Gold Standard highwhey. Don't you know?

defeat is not something that takes 20 years and running away with your tail tucked between your legs in the end.

You enjoy the fruits of that labor since you sustain yourself with the USD. And carnitas.

War is never for righteous reasons. It’s always about profit.
Ask Dick Cheney about it.

This sounds like an axe post or maybe a Jasper if more things were spelled incorrectly.

The only worthwhile thing this country has to offer is opportunity. Now, that doesn't mean that this opportunity will lead to success. It leads to failure probably 9 times out of 10, but at least you were afforded the opportunity where you may not have been in others.

US and Western weapons, training and doctrine have proved to be far superior compared to the rest of the world. Vietnam and Afghanistan happened due to a lack of political will.
Afghanistan was the one morally justifiable invasion the US have launched since the Korean War. Too bad that Bush and his predatory cabinet decided to go after Iraq's oil and set in motion a process that the current moron in chief would finish haphazardly, by ignoring all military recommendations regarding the withdrawal.
To make matters worse, he is doing the same thing to Ukraine, depriving the country the chance to defend itself and empowering a murderous, fascist regime.
Venezuela seems to be next.

How did your boy Biden do with the Afghanistan withdrawal? How many billions of dollars worth of weapons did he leave behind for the enemy to claim? How many unfortunate deaths were there to American soldiers due to the extremely botched withdrawal??
