Well to be honest, I think it was a great thing that we got out of Afghanistan. If it was up to me, we'd get out of the whole middle east. It doesn't benefit me in the slightest to have troops halfway around the world, killing millions and pissing off entire nations of people.
That's my whole problem with this US Empire - it doesn't actually benefit regular people. It just helps rich execs of defense and oil companies. I think my life would be better off if the US was friends with Russia and nations in the MidEast. There's no reason for me to want enemies.
And moreover, from the geopolitical standpoint, why is it in the US's core interest to have Ukraine in NATO? We control our entire home continent, and the oceans, and multiple other continents, including basically all of Europe. Did we really need this additional country in the alliance? It seems to me we are less safe if Russia is really pissed off at us.
