If the US can’t win a war in Afghanistan after 20 years with a military that’s many times larger than most of the world’s military forces combined… it’s not happening. So… are they going to establish a full colony in Afghanistan? They clearly can’t build a puppet govt.

There’s no solution here. This is the moment in history where it becomes clear an imperialist power has overextended itself to the point that it can’t address foreign wars OR domestic problems sufficiently.

You can be rightly critical of the USA and not wish for it to collapse.

The US collapsing is what's best for the world. It's going to be a serious shit storm domestically for at least a decade. I'm not looking forward to it at all.

Vietnam didn’t cause the fall of America - if anything the golden era of hegemony ensued decades later The alternatives to American imperialism, aren’t better, they’re significantly worse. Global capital and organized white supremacy would be only strengthened by its demise

Just because you don't have a better idea doesn't mean American Imperialism is the best we have. The next to come will be balkanization where many power structures will arise and the most sustainable one will become the most popular and spread until met with a barrier.

Linking the U.S. failure in Afghanistan to a potential domestic collapse is disturbing, insightful—and historically well grounded. We’ve noted that every empire that has ever invaded Afghanistan has crumbled, including both the British & Soviets well before the U.S.https://twitter.com/briebriejoy/status/1428498829310144514 …

Could Afghanistan be the honey pot for societies with high hubris?

What do those of us who recognize what’s going on do next?

Make friends with your neighbors, learn to grow your own food, arm yourself for community defense, learn whatever handy skills interest you. I learned clay sifting, kiln creation, and pottery! (I'm bad at it, but we have cups, plates, and bricks!)
