Tribal fighters armed with basic, usually appropriated weaponry from the Russian and American wars prevailed simply because they persisted, defeat is not a word to be entertained in Afghanistan. And so with courage, cunning and ingenious creative methods, IEDs etc, they won against the American empire, using its NATO and allied troops to assist.

It was/is a war of attrition, similar in many respects to the Vietnam war which nation prevailed over America and its useless allies, setting a new standard for all nations. Quite simply Americans and their allies do not have the stomach to fight against such persistent resistance, America is finally pulling out of its longest lost war, proving that military intervention today is not a way to success, as America had everything going for it bar one crucial factor, PERSISTENCE, which give rise to TENACITY and the WILL to overcome against the odds, though American arms manufacturers and weapons developers made a financial killing all at the expense of American citizens whose living standards and quality of life have gone through the floor, suckers -- how many citizens profited from the many wars the FAILING American empire illegally initiated in the 21st century? Very few if any, only the fat cats benefited and THEY never get their hands dirty, they delegate such tasks to American suckers who give up their lives for the benefit of mega-wealthy social parasites, an obvious reality today?

Persistent resistance against a foreign invader always WINS in the end, but WHY? Initially, the cause is freedom from foreign domination/oppression combined with a love of country that far exceeds any population in the west, in fact most western populations loath their non-representative lackey governments.

Historically Afghans were and are born to fight for their homes and families, country, in other words, as the nation has always been strategically located even during Alexander’s time and it was in the Pashtun regions that Alexander encountered his nemesis after defeating in battle and conquering the most powerful empires on earth, but he had no tactics to defeat the Talibs he faced in what is now Afghanistan and western Pakistan. They fought guerilla style and quickly defeated one of the greatest military minds the world has known. Compare Alexander and his commanders to your average American general today, what a pathetic laugh!

And so it was inevitable DEFEAT for America/NATO and prior to that, Russia, a Herculean effort considering the basic weaponry Afghans had at their disposal, which proves without argument that it’s MEN, not technology that win wars. Which fact leads us to cultural character, which is sorely lacking in America today. There is no way to take a country but by ground in the end, and the USA and its allies never achieved that in Vietnam or Afghanistan, lesson not learned as usual.

America was hamstrung from the start, would YOU fight for corporate profits of which YOUR share is ZERO? Not likely, would you die for corporate profits?

So which of these two reasons, fighting for freedom, family and the country that has supported you for generations or fighting so that western corporate elites prosper, is likely to succeed? A rhetorical question that nevertheless requires an answer, which answer spells out the final outcome, success or defeat.

Now note how western media has assisted in weakening the American cultural character, persistence and tenacity comes from a clear direction/path, a strong FOCUS. However, in America the mass media never dwells on anything specifically the 24 hour news cycle prevents Americans forming any direction or identity, though it does serve slave masters, as the population is denuded of a clear identity and focus, hence people are more easily led, which result serves who? The corporations of course, which must sell their products and wares, but clearly at the cost of the strength of national character and the nation’s ability to survive effectively against the odds. In fact, when Americans face any odds today they turn and run. As they have in Afghanistan and Syria. You see, the tide has turned but you would not find that in the American fictional media, it’s always, America the ‘indispensable, exceptional’ nation, hence a population more inclined to denial and dreams/myths than reality, and once that disposition occurs, it’s all but over for that culture, in fact that is how George Orwell easily predicted the future, simply by observing the direction and symptoms of the culture of his time and nothing has changed today, if you are not media gullible/addicted you would also easily see what analysts see.

But what’s the point, we see the future clearly though not the particulars or way in which it would unfold but we see the result, a blind man could see if he looks without bias and preconceptions at the present.

Have a nice daydream, doodle dandies. As for American vassals and allies, remain on your knees and keep sucking.
