        3. The foreign policy establishment fall back position seems to be that if they can't keep troops in Afghanistan, they'll turn the country into a site of a proxy war. That's also not good.

        They could if they arranged it right. Fighting climate change requires huge spending on solar panels, infrastructure... trillions and trillions of dollars! But they have no imagination, even for grift.
