Does anyome changed their mind about the Afghan War?

I asked because it was widely supported at the time of the invasion.

Have you changed your mind on this? If so, why? Do you think it could ever have worked out and what do you think would have been a good outcome? Do you feel you were lied to?

Please keep the Trump vrs Biden stuff off the thread because it's not relevent to my question. Thanks.

"It was widely supported at the time" ..of the original invasion, but what was actually being supported was the perception of truth that was being manufactured by the US government at the time, which was a storyline the American government wanted the world to engage with and which the G7 couldn't resist getting onboard with because of it's American source, which everyone knows is "intelligent", correct?

A story the Late Fred Trump use to tell Donald when Don was but a mere youth sporting short pants with suspenders and black and white saddle shoes, was that, "if you tell something to someone often enough and stick with the same storyline at all times, your story will eventually become 'fact' in the minds of those whom you told and those whom you told will then defend your story with their own life if anyone ever challenges that story they had always embraced".

It was a 'story' the US government told to the American people 20 years ago that became 'fact' in the minds of those American people.

And over the next 20 years, Americans along with so-called 'aliens' from the remaining G7 Nations whom looked just like authentic Americans standing shoulder-to-shoulder at a bar during 'happy hour', defended that American story alongside those Americans and usually did so with their own lives too.

@swirlie Fred taught him that?

I thought it might have been someone else's idea.

Fred and Fred's own mother were the Masterminds behind the creation of 'Trump Corp', which evolved back in the 1930's. Don was merely handed the keys to the front door after Fred died of dementia.

@swirlie Well, it makes sense from what I've heard about Fred's politics anyway, and the timing is right for him to have imparted that piece of wisdom to Donald.

Fred was actually a financial genius, unlike Don but whom Fred employed.

Don on the other hand was (and is) a Master con-man, unlike Fred, but which became Don's job description the whole time he remained employed by Fred.
