Afghanistan - Where Empires go to Die

Britain and Russia have both made efforts to take Afghanistan for their empire, but has also market the end of those empires. Now the United States feels it can succeed where those empires failed.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. The US has also failed, and will likely bleed out as it withdraws from the region just as its predecessors have.

The US military is doing nothing different than previous empires, but like a moth to the flame, empires have no ability to resist this region, to their own collapse.
