The quagmire of Afghanistan - the Russian experience there

The Pentagon Investigates Possible Friendly Fire Deaths In Afghanistan

After 15 years of a dirty New Colonialism war in Afghanistan the American Empire finds the country as much a Nemesis as it was for the former Soviet Union- which invaded Afghanistan in 1980 because it did not want a " reactionary " regime on its borders.

In 1991 the Stalinist Soviet Union collapsed- replaced by a pro-capitalist regime. Capitalism has failed miserably in Russia-just as in the USA : failed for all but the economic elite.

We have forgotten the lesson of Vietnam : " The Arrogance of Power ". You do not win hearts and minds with crimes against humanity. Again we are on " The Eve of Destruction "

There is no working class support in the United States for more war led by the Trump Junta-which is hardly on a higher moral level than Vladimir Putin's Russian oligarchy.

And yet the Democratic Party leaders are cheer leading for World War III !

Fabulous wealth from the Wall St. stock market will not be enjoyed in the nuclear ashes wasteland. I recall reading the book titled " Hiroshima " in 1968 . Who will get to read " Boston " in 2020 ?

And now another Vietnam for the US !
