I can't be the only one that feels like it's a bit coincidental that the US spends 20 years in afghanistan, and within a few months of getting out another world superpower suddenly invades a country.
It's not a coincidence. Not because America got out of Afghanistan, but because Biden botched the landing. If they got American civilians out first, then the military, then our Afghan "allies" folded like a wet paper bag, that would only prove that America lacked the will to kill Afghanistan to save it. If that's a weakness, it's not one that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could exploit.
He's saying the same people that started Afghanistan are involved with Ukraine. And he's right.
Right.
In one set of theories it's people doing evil things for selfish reasons. Weapons manufactures who want to sell weapons. Psychos who just like going to war with no regard for humanity.
In another set of theories it's people who try to keep society from descending into self destruction. Humans evolved to constantly go through a few different phases - growth, expansion and war, calm after the war starts biting both sides hard causing them to stop wanting them to do it. They've every other manipulation they can think of to take the place of war and finally just went "fuck it it's not working, we'll fall back to another war".
