Oh thanks, that's what I meant

Obaranje:
the way una dey reason at times for this nairaland ehnn.

Did American and Afghanistan ever fight a war? So establishing a system of government that the people refuse after so many years has now been translated into war.

How does your emotional outburst answer this question:

how did the US military not win Taliban?

Namaster:
USA is a real JUGGERNAUT!

ALMOST a TRILLION dollar spent per year just to develop more efficient ways to DECIMATE their enemies.

With a budget that is MORE than 3X that of the next country and their population, they will remain the BIG DADDY of the world for a long time.

/
So you think the whole budget is on R & D and wars?

For example, Veterans Administration which has more than 170 major hospitals and 1130 medical clinics are under Department of Defense. Below are sectional views of such VA hospital that cover acres of land in each location. Then multiply that by 170 across the nation.

There are many other things that go into that Defense budget.

Yet they ran away from Afghanistan and were disgraced in Vietnam. Their marines were pursued by ragtag clan fighters in Somalia.

This is a lie odogwu na Abatete.they withdrew from Afghanistan after discovering that the population was talibanized.they were never disgraced in Vietnam.they lost 54000 and killed over a million Vietcong and withdrew after seeing that the south Vietnam soldiers were weaklings and pro communism....in Somalia,it was just a black ops operation under the UN auspices and was bungled by gen Garrison...up till now,Somalia is wartorn...even Russia failed in Afghanistan.. in a conventional war,America is undefeated.

Can you give examples of the minerals minded in subsaharan Africa?

Niger uranium and the gold in Mali, then far away in the middle east the oil of Libya and in the east Africa the oil of Djibouti. The USA are one of the sponsors of armed conflicts in Africa and middle east to create instabilities

US will spend on their military bases across the world including Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, salaries e.t.c that money is not only for US only. China 🇨🇳 might still achieve something better than US homogeneous budget.

The " almighty" lran is not on the list.

VA is not under the Department of Defense, it's a separate agency with a over $300 billion budget and a cabinet level secretary of VA.

Total crap.

All this your lies have been factually refuted several times.

The US defense budget is an over-bloated package that allows for unimaginable corruption.

It is on record that the Pentagon cannot keep track of the dollars it already has, leading to massive waste, fraud and abuse in the military-industrial complex.

Massively inflated contracts and overpriced defense gadgets.


Russia with its tiny 100b dollar defense budget has proven to be a far more efficient and effective military industrial force.

Experts recently revealed that Russia defense industry is out producing the entire NATO military industrial base (including the United States 🇺🇸 military).

zoghys:


What a dumb thing to say. Do you expect usa to take control for ever?. They spent millions of dollars in training and equipping the afghans so that they can stand on their ground, just for Taliban to take over in less than a month. Blame the systemic problem in Afghanistan which is similar to ours here and not the United States

It surprises me when fools like him keep painting that narrative. The US never failed in Afghanistan. Like you rightly said, they can't remain there forever.

I love your last line, it's spot on.

Some of you ehnnn

And Russia has been shopping for shells and other weapons from North Korea and Iran for years now

He said all NATO combined

Lol, a chunk of that huge budget the US spends goes to the maintenance of numerous overseas military bases, keeping here numerous carriers afloat and thousands of crewmen.

It doesn't necessarily translate to investment in military technology where China is currently doing excellently well. China's shipbuilding capabilities are on another level.

Poland own shock me. What do they need all that big numbers for. Poland no need am now.

Anybody u see saying that is just a troll.

America strolled into Afghanistan (a country thousands of miles away) and the Taliban ran away. They don't care about that but America leaving after 20 years.
Was America meant to stay there forever. I don't even understand these people.
Afghanistan is simply no longer in the strategic interest of the US and they left.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Same military that spent huge funds, close to two decades in Afghanistan yet failed massively.

the objective was to keep the Taliban busy at home. It will take a million years before something like 9-11 happens again, just like Israel is grinding Hamas to dust right now. It might end that Isreal will not "achieve" their publicly stated war goals, but Hamas knows what's up, even it's 3 generations will still be recovering.

Let's see what happened after a complete de-dollarization. Do you know their highest export is the US Dollar?

lexy2014:

How did they win?!
Replacing Taliban with Taliban!
What am I saying?
The Taliban literally chased them away from Afghanistan
Go and sleep if you have no meaningful thing to add to this discourse

Their leaders end up looting most part of the money just like what is happening in Ukraine.

lexy2014:

So what's is it spent on that Russia doesn't have in its budget?!
Salaries, research and development, infrastructure?!
