This week, President Donald Trump, just like his predecessor Obama,
promised to continue the utterly corrupt failure of a brutal occupation
that is Afghanistan—despite running on a campaign to end it. For
decades, the United States has been subsidizing—to the tune of billions
of US tax dollars—failed projects, infrastructure, military, police, and
yes, even terrorism. Yet Afghanistan is worse off today than they were
before the government lied to Americans, claiming they were responsible
for 9/11 instead of Saudi Arabia.
In a recent speech on the state of the Afghanistan quagmire,
Congressman Thomas Massie (R) KY, exposed some hard truths that very few
people in Washington are courageous enough to address. While most
politicians cheered Trump’s insane decision to increase US presence in
Afghanistan this week, Massie Blew the lid off of it.
For years, Massie has pointed out that the US has blown billions of
dollars on failed projects alone. As of last year, the number of failed
projects totaled over 100 billion.
