As Afghanistan becomes Vietnam II - another war lost, Erik Prince issues stark warning: This is just the beginning

With the Taliban on Kabul’s doorstep and the US-backed Afghan government collapsing faster than a sandcastle in a tsunami, US “security experts” are urging each other to avoid “triggering” imagery of their historic failure. Former Navy Seal Erik Prince and an expert that really understands war on terror, discusses the US evacuation of Kabul embassy on ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight.’

Yet the fundamental lesson’s being ignored: Washington needs to stop exporting its biased and double-standards ideology as if it’s an answer "to the problems countries face" (alternative to innovation and building healthy economy, education, health care and personal safety within USA, for a change).
