    demonstrating to everyone that America USA is unreliable and can be beaten by anyone with patience

    well, didn’t that already happen with Afghanistan? Uh, yes… media coverage of Ukraine invasion has been for more extensive in the west.

      There’s a huge difference between pulling out after two decades of boots on the ground, suffering casualties and spending trillions vs two years of sending your hand-me-down equipment to an ally who will do all the fighting, at a cost of 0.1% of your budget.

        yes a huge difference. in the end, just as hill says

        USA is unreliable and can be beaten by anyone with patience

        this anyone with patience being those demi-animals of talibans, armed with weapons from soviet invasion of '89.

        oh and by the way, it seemed more like let’s get out of here as fast as possible, more than a pulling out. I’m joking, that was the only way to leave to give talibans usa army weaponry. usa generous confirmed.

        EDIT usa do not consider last years in Afghanistan as war, I know this. the rest of the world though thinks that as long there’s a single invader, that’s war.
