There was a time when US used to be the most powerful county in the world. Countries around the world would look up to the US for guidance. Now where is US. Far from being the most admired country in the world it has fallen to the status of worst country in the world It is indulging in fight a tiny minuscle country like Iraq and Syria.
Also, let us not speak of the Afghanistan invasion. In the case of Afghanistan, there is an invasion and occupation. And what an invasion. There is no parallel in the world. Maybe the 1991 Gulf war has that similarities. But the aim of that Gulf war was to drive Saddam Hussein from Kuwait and that was it. But in the case of Afghanistan the most powerful military alliance in the world (NATO) has invaded , occupied and murdered innocent Afghanis using high end equipment.
The NATO countries are rich and very rich and Afghans are poor and still they have to 'beat a hasty retreat' ultimately. Else it will be a new kind of 'imperialism' where entire countries are dictated by "common selfish interest" to "rule over innocent people in a foreign land".
There is no 'white mans burden' here. The white man is the 'burden'. The white man is the 'burden on this earth'.
Of what use is this equipment if it is only intended to kill, destroy and maim people?
And what is the expenditure they incur? Per month they spend billions of dollars just to maintain the force in a foreign land. They are foreigners and they cannot change the fact. No matter what they do.
The billions of dollars they spend on 'killing machines' is better spent on 'clean drinking water' or 'education'.
Just looking as this makes us realise that this world is the only place we have. there was never a 'moon landing' and the Star Wars and Star Trek series are 'mere fiction'. Mankind or the more preferable 'humanity' has no where to go but this planet. "We have to live and die in this earth itself". Like in Raj Kapoor movie "Jeena yahan marna yahan, iske siva jana kahan".
