    The USA spent twenty years and two trillion dollars trying to build credibility in Afghanistan, and that was all for nothing.

    Because they were doing it while supporting a corrupt government and bombing people willy nilly. There’s a reason the US is known for bombing weddings.

      Yeah, they built credibility by checks notes giving positions of power to literal child molestors and war lords. The US spent two trillion bombing Afghanistan into the ground.
