The purpose of this invasion and occupation was not to bring peace and prosperity to Afghanistan. It was always to strengthen the American military machine. And the funny thing is that we see peoples , says that the United States has failed miserably in Afghanistan haha this is hilarious.
In fact, this has never been the goal of successive US administrations to help the Afghani people or defeat the Taliban, from Bush to Biden to Obama and Trump. The United States has, in fact, been astonishingly successful at doing exactly what it wants: demonstrating military might, testing the latest weapons and tactics of warfare, asserting global hegemony, and deploying its regional strategic positions against Russia and China.
Central Asia has been a target of American imperial strategists for decades. The events of September 11 served as a pretext for the United States to demonstrate its military capabilities and reshape its strategic options for asymmetric warfare in post-Soviet Central Asia. Neither Afghanistan nor the Taliban were ever their primary concern. They were like a smokescreen.
Over the past twenty years, the war in Afghanistan has been a major strategic achievement for the United States in this vast theater of operations. They now know the terrain better than ever and are ready to confront the Russian and Chinese spheres of influence. There is nothing more stupid than the popular notion that Afghanistan is the "graveyard of empires". Neither the American empire is dead in Afghanistan, nor the Russian imperial designs before it. Quite the opposite: the United States and Russia are both powerful military and imperial mechanisms that operate from Central Asia to the Indian Ocean and beyond. Their only real competitor is China.
20 years to test their latest weapons, and to bring ranks to their officers. They learned from the Taliban the means and methods of fighting the insurgents. Russia recently offered the United States to use Russian military bases in Central Asia to "gather intelligence" on Afghanistan. What kind of "graveyard" of empires is this? Haha
After all, Afghanistan is a graveyard for the tens of thousands of innocent Afghans who have died over the past two decades - and a resounding success of American military in the region and beyond.
