Why is the US still in Afghanistan?

I know there are buzzword answers like "muh terrorist safe haven" or "the Taliban man is bad" but what makes Afghanistan different than Yemen or Libya or Tunisia? Why keep soldiers in a pointless war when a seemingly much more important war is happening in Iraq and Syria?

leave us alone!

pretty much this if you guys didn't fuck around in other peoples countries, there wouldn't be a war in syria in the first place

If the US pulls out, the Taliban will destroy the Opium plantations like they did in 2000.

Nice Proxy

I'm sorry, if you wanted to be left alone you shouldn't have founded your country right in the middle of our oil pipeline routing.

That's like asking "Why is Canada still in North America?"

It's not, faggot
Sorry

> but what makes Afghanistan different than Yemen or Libya or Tunisia?

Sunk cost. We already invested a lot in Afghanistan and if the Taliban takes over it's a waste of money.

>Why is the US still in Afghanistan
To prevent a natgas and oil pipeline from iran to china. Simple, honest answer.

Why are the refugees still in Germany?

We will go wherever there is money to be made.

Just imagined having a high vantage point and picking these fuckers off like those carnie ducks in a river game.

Real life could be so much fun.

Because we have now cornered the market on poppy seeds and thus heroin globally.

US Special operations is deeply involved with the CIA in irl drug trafficking. Just like we do in South America.

Just look into the people running the Hillary campaign, who's funding her, and who her employees have been previously affiliated with.

It's all about money, power, and gaining control of the US soil.

Essentially, the democratic party has essentially been turned into a shell for the middle east to infiltrate America. They're simply following their religious texts, just as the Jews did to take over everything. Lie, bluff, and pretend to get into positions of power to destroy everything from the inside out.

It's all about the Jews wanting money.
Look into Putin's words on the matter.

They are still trying to find Bin Laden

The small border between China and Afghanistan is extremely mountains and doesn't even have a road on it.


Besides, you could go China to Tajikistan Uzbekistan to Turkmenistan to Iran those three Istan countries are poor enough to listen to China.

The civil war would have probably still happened, just with poorer armed rebels

So you be sayin we wuz drug lordz an shiet?

Why are your babies still in dingos?

So in 2020 when the Taliban still exists and nothing's changed it'll still be worth it?

opium fields?

They simply don't want to lose their control over middle east and their oil.

"Iraq says it will no longer accept dollars for oil because it does not want to deal "in the currency of the enemy."

Stuff like this is simply against American interests as they can't afford to lose their status as World reserve currency with all the debt they've piled up.

They intervened far too late, if only Clinton wasn't a pussy

...

because someone has to be in afghanistan.

I'm not saying I agree with it, but nobody wants to take the political loss.

>dat sunburn
OMG is he OK?

Training

Who /imperialist/ here? We should annex Afghanistan and force westernize them so they act a little less like total savages. Execute those who resist publicly as an example.

This.
Control the opium fields and the degenerates are forced to buy pharmaceuticals. Heroin/opium are cheap. Stamping out opioid pills is akin to printing money.

fuck off

Opium. How else can you keep fueling the heroin epidemic to destabilise the population
