and also reply to what robin just said. yeah. i m not quite sure i agree with robin on the gloom and doom of the rest of the world. you know, i m old enough to remember when the soviets left afghanistan, and it was pretty devastating to them, and for a while, there were repercussions in terms of their the states that aligned with the soviet union at the time. they had also been defeated by a so-called rag tag mujahideen. what i d suggest, though, is the united states was not defeated by the taliban. what happened, i think, is we got into the mission overreach. multiple administrations made mistakes, did things differently, changed the policies. there were mistakes from the military and mistakes from the intelligence community that all contributed to a mission extension that had us trying to build a government in our image
