National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan dispelled the silly notion that leaving Afghanistan will marginally increase America’s security risk.
Leaving Afghanistan does not make us less secure
Americans have been lied to for a very long time. They have gotten used to hearing silly statements like, “We fight them over there so we do not have to fight them here.” It has always been a statement that made no sense.
Do these terrorists around the world have a navy or air force to get them to America? Do they have unlimited resources to smuggle into America? The answer has always been known. Both attacks on the Twin Towers needed to have been stopped here in the United States as are ALL terrorist attacks.
It will always be a fact that it is much more expensive to put our army in, country after country that may be harboring terrorists intent on hitting America.
What we need and will always need is a robust defense at home and good intelligence from around the world. We do not need the resources of the army to do that.
Here is the reality, if you have a hammer, guess what? Every problem looks like a nail.
The military-industrial complex knows that foreign military outposts are great to make high margin profits on every product and service they sell to the U.S. Military. And they do not want to give that up. So the false narrative and misinformation continue unabated.
We do not need to fight them over there. We do not need to stay in Afghanistan nor in many other countries hostile to use. It is time to bring our troops home and invest in America.
