        It's quite a load of huge messes that the Clinton-Bush-Obama Combine has left for Trump to clean up. Afghanistan is yet another one.

        Who is winning... it would take me one day to speak the name of all.... (arms dealers, military food vendors, sellers of uniforms, rulers, etc etc etc) But surely who is losing is the Afghan population.

        No one. Neither the British Empire, nor the Soviet Empire, nor the US will win. Afghanistan is the only undefeated country!

        Not true. Alexander the Great, Djenghis Khan, Mughaland finally there where 3 British invasions of afghanistan and the British where succesful in the 1878 invasion which held it until the rebellion after world war I. Afghanistan is NOT undefeatable.

        Taliban already won because the population loves them. A thing the American armed forces NEVER understood! To win an occupation you need to be loved unless you want to stay and use really brutal force. The US never did neither.

        These people have been involved in one of the longest running civil wars in world history, almost 40 years. My guess is that even if you combined the idiocy of the Russian campaign with our own ineptitude and fiscal black hole you still would not get a winning outcome.

        Afghanistan war is not a civil war. Afghanistan war is a game which the power full countries play on that game. However in that game no one win because war is untrue.
