I know, which is why the whole situation is so terrible. The Americans basically drove a tank into a fragile house, broke the foundation, and now if they leave, the whole house collapses, and if they don't leave, the foundation of the house is still a fucking tank.
They should have never driven a tank into the house in the first place, but pulling the tank out isn't gonna help anybody.
It doesn't matter. Afghanistan will never be stable while the US continues its war. Whatever the ambitions of the local powers are, the US military has no possibility of improving anyone's lives there, they can only make things worse. If you believe otherwise, that the presence of the US can provide peace and stability, then you should be advocating for invasions all over the world. Let the house collapse, the people who live there will rebuild it.
The first time I heard someone say exactly this was in 2003.

A tank is a hunk of metal with compressive strength and inertia.
We slammed a bouncy castle into the house and now we need to keep attaching generators to keep it inflated, or else the house collapses.
Good addition.
