Profits Made in The Afghanistan WarWe discuss what were the primary causes of the afghanistan war, why did the taliban regain control after the u.s. withdrawal in 2021, how did corruption impact the war's outcome, what role did neighboring countries play in the conflict, could the war have been won, and what went wrong, what were the human and financial costs of the war, how did the war affect afghan civilians and what lessons can be learned from the afghanistan war. After nearly 20 years in Afghanistan, the US military withdrew troops from Afganistan. Ever since the American war in Afghanistan began after 9/11 attacks, it's not just capturing Osama bin Laden, but also NATO global hegemony and promotion of democracy.
