US and Taliban sign deal to withdraw American troops from Afghanistan

[Mister Agenda]

Afghanistan is full of minerals that the U.S needs. That what kept it there, and made withdrawing a very tough choice to make.

I think you vastly overestimate the value of Afghanistan's mineral wealth compared to the costs of occupying that particular country in order to extract it. Afghanistan was never worth the two trillion dollars we poured into taking and holding it. We were never going to get all that money back. Afghanistan was never going to be a profitable enterprise for the USA.
