This litany of numerous terrorist groups that have cropped up across two continents ought to make us realize what a colossal, destructive failure the war on terror is.
Brilliant post-mortem for the War on Afghanistan. Unless Biden has something else up his sleeve, which I doubt, it will be used as fuel for the continuing War on Terror everywhere else.
One of the main reasons for congressional approval of military spending is jobs creation, not just for the soldiers but also the myriad contractors and sub industries, not to mention government research and government funded innovation. What would all those contractors and blob members do, if funding were to suddenly be pulled? The answer seems easy: infrastructure, education, healthcare, more streamlined government etc. etc. But these would all qualify as socialist and as the world knows, the USA is the bastion of capitalism, not socialism. Maybe it's time to get over labels and just concentrate on governance and the work that needs to be done. It just seems so obvious that building more and more military and more and more debt is not going to be good for the economy in the long run.
I don’t doubt that much of the outrage and criticism of Biden by the military-industrial-congressional-intelligence-media-academic-think tank-complex was generated precisely to deter Biden from any further steps to wind down the war on terror. I also take Biden at his word: ex-Afghanistan the War on Terror will continue.
