…only to lose the subsequent war 10 years down the road but never admit they lost because they only withdrew their army since the country is safe again (AKA they already taken as much oil as they possibly can so they are no longer interested in waging a war).
I have to wonder, are you and people like you just making a common joke? Or do you really think the US extracted oil from Afghanistan? Because they didn’t. They used the invasion to strong arm OPEC; but they themselves didn’t take oil. It wasn’t about increasing oil supply.
The US grew heroin there instead. And only left when stronger synthetics (fentanyl) made heroin unprofitable.

I was under the impression that the point was to decrease the oil supply to force people to buy more American oil.
