This is the EU, ordinary people have zero power. Not that they're doing anything more than giving the socially desirable answer from regime POV.
Contrast this with the Russian occupation of Afghanistan, which went very poorly for Russia and included a number of battles Russia lost, and much higher attrition for Russia.
Let's compare. Russia stayed 9 years, and the government it installed lasted for 3 more years. That's more than 3 years more than the negative 3 weeks that your government lasted after you left.
You can be a little shithead and be like "haaa haaa you loOOoooost!" like a taunting little schoolchild,
When was the last war you won?
but we both know that the US could have easily sat on the Taliban for another 20 years at minimal cost. There had been no US combat deaths in YEARS by 2021.
Then you should have done that. Although you are very lucky that you pulled out, because I'm sure the top priority for Putin would have been sending in masses of weapons and equipment to the Taliban to retaliate against what you are doing.
Nope. They got more than they should, but it was nowhere near that much
Nowhere near that much? This was the claim made by pro-Biden/regime "fact-checkers" who "fact-checked" claims that it was 81 billion.
Anyway Congress did an investigation
"Corrupt, lying bastards said a thing"
The war continued for another month after the line was overcome. Resistance was still fierce and only waned when they ran out of ammunition.
Doesn't make sense, but I don't know enough to contradict you.
Hundreds of tanks lost there alone.
If one took the claims of losses by the Americans and their vassals at face value, Russia has already lost more tanks than during the whole of World War II.
Don't lie about what I said. I said that Russia would have to flee or risk being cut off and encircled by the end of March. And what did Russia do? They fled before the end of March. I predicted it exactly, and the Russian high command could see what I saw and reacted appropriately.
It's a year ago. How do you make that a 'lie', because I'm not framing it in the way you want?
Barbarossa was 100% about gaining territory. The German army was advancing at breakneck speed the whole time to the point where outrunning their supply lines was a constant problem.
The objective of Barbarossa was primarily the destruction of the Red Army. Which makes sense, because Hitler learned from Napoleon.
Yes they can. The exact same situation was true in Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk and yet the defenders still had no problem getting out.
We'll see about that. You do engage in a lot of wishful thinking.
