Ragime Change

This weekend the Taliban took control of the Capital city of Afghanistan, Kabul. They stormed the Government building and declared themselves the official government of Afghanistan. Changing governments has been a theme for 2021 with the  Myanmar Coup and the new American President. 

I would call  the Afghanistan occupation the biggest waste on Earth. My government and the American government invaded Afghanistan and spent vast amounts of money trying to prop up a democracy and make Afghanistan like them and caused ordinary soldiers to die or have PTSD and injuries. I will recognize the invasion and 20 year occupation of Afghanistan as a mistake. Everything they did was for nothing. 

The Dutch have an airport with 6 runways, they have bike roads built for every road, they have green mega factories, they have maga dams reclaiming land from the ocean and countless wise investments in themselves, perhaps we should be more like the Netherlands.
