The US government talks about supporting democracy and human rights. The next war is necessary because there is an evil dictator we need to remove to help the people of that country. Well, nothing is further from the truth. The US has never been involved in a "just" war. Some might say WW2 was a "just" war. To those I say PLEASE watch the documentary series by Oliver Stone titled The Untold History of The United States. Free on Youtube. Link Below
The reason we went to war in Afghanistan, natural gas. The war was to clear the path for the TAPI pipeline. Turkmenistan is directly north of Afghanistan. "The BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2020 indicates that Turkmenistan has 600 million barrels of proven oil reserves and 19.5 trillion cubic meters in proven reserves of natural gas. Oct 15, 2020". The originator of the pipeline Hamid Karzai advised RAND (think tank for the pentagon) on the pipeline in 1997/98. The US then appointed him interim president of Afghanistan in December 2001.
The US military was in Afghanistan for 20 years and the country is worse off now. Afghanistan ONLY became the worlds leading producer of opium AFTER the US military arrived on the scene. For those that do not know, the CIA has a long history of funding itself by drug smuggling. This was exposed by reporter Gary Webb from the San Jose Mercury News, in his book Dark Alliance.
Gary broke the story that the CIA was smuggling cocaine into The US to fund an illegal war in Nicaragua. They would then distribute the cocaine throughout The US, to be sold to US citizens. This operation was conducted by Vice President George Bush while Ronald Reagan was president. Just say no to drugs was Reagans famous line (pun intended) as he oversaw planeloads of coke smuggled into the US.
The story broke when a CIA plane full of weapons was shot down over Nicaragua. Guess where they landed the planes? Mena Arkansas, enter Bill Clinton. Ever wonder how a scandal ridden no name governor from the poorest state in the entire country rose to prominence? He did business with the Bush Crime family, that's how.
