Imperialism and illicit drugs commonly go together. However, with Taliban opium eradication efforts in full effect, heroin is in short supply, and experts fear that a new fentanyl crisis could be brewing in the US.
Fighting the Taliban? The objectives had nothing to do with the war on drugs. I thought it was well known that the reason there was hardly any opium farming in Afganistan before the invasion was because of the Taliban.
We can go on about how the invasion failed catastrophically but. This is just Afganistan going back to the way it was.
I don't think anyone has ever been able to conquer Afganistan. But why were they there is an easy question untapped mineral wealth, hubris, and a little bit of missplaced revenge.
Has any other country other than Iraq and Afganistan ever been invaded for the stated claim of terrorism? Only other actions I can think of have been more limited in scope and sometimes come with an invitation from the country the terroist cell is residing.

dude every non US country on earth does leagues better at fighting terrorists, the US doesn't even try. Which begs the question, why are they there?
