they're not supposed to win in aghanistan.

if they were to win, they'd have to pull out.

what they're supposed to do is occupy the country. and, they need a bullshit reason to distract from the real reason, which is to frustrate chinese shipping interests and otherwise just have guns in the sky overlooking asia from all directions.

this war will never end, and if you're waiting for it to end, or criticizing people for not being able to "win" it, you're not understanding it.

nato wants perpetual war in afghanistan to justify the bases.
