Afghanistan

Once again we are propping up a gangster plutocracy at American taxpayers' expense. Our military plans to 'negotiate' a presence in Afghanistan until 2024? Why? We are functioning as a security force to protect American and Chinese oil/gas/mineral exploitation of the region. U.S. citizens have been duped by media-driven militarism and patriotism. International corporations profit. The taxpayers are forced to expect less and less social security and infrastructure at home. This is corruption at the highest levels of government.
