      I agree that most people in the United States want to pull out of the war, but the same is not true for their government. It is closely linked with the military industrial complex, which makes a lot of profit from wars, and wants to continue them. And like this video explains, being in Afghanistan is also part of their strategy to encircle China.

      And as the article mentions, the US isnt really pulling out of Afghanistan. They are leaving over 10.000 private military contractors and special forces, plus two military airbases. So they can redeploy their troops in a matter of days or weeks.

        Only if people understood the class interests involved and whose interest the Government cares more about & tries to enforce. Unfortuanely, we don’t talk about C-word anymore and pretend they don’t exist!

          I find these statements that are pretty difficult to swallow and i’d call some of it very conspiratorial.

          What right does the US have, to have 800+ military bases outside its borders?
