I never said it wasn't stupid! All wars are stupid. No one should be killing each other for such shitty ideas.
USA made the mistake of abandoning Afghanistan, and not help rebuilding after the Soviet War. And no, you have to admit in any war, that there will be massacres. I do not care what anyone has said. We are humans, and do not perform well under stress.
They gain the support of America due to that war.

The Taliban did not arise until after the War, which was during their rebuilding state. The United States supported the Mujahideen, which some of the leaders of the Taliban were members.
Russia would never support it as they have issues with the Islamic world as well. Chechens are not friendly with their religious ideology.

I did not invade. Why are you pointing the finger at one USA citizen.
That would be the same as me asking/blaming you for invading Afghanistan in the 80s.
I believe we invaded Afghanistan as a political point. The Taliban was protecting Bin Laden, and the Taliban was the official leadership of the country. The country felt threaten, and it could not afford to allow that leadership to be reckless, and to save face.
Just like Putin does not want to lose Ukraine to EU/NATO.

I think America should have never moved to Iraq, and focused on getting Bin Laden, and left.
There is a gray to this. You cannot have absolutes in the Geo Political world.

Not making excuses. Just stating you want an absolute. Just like Russia should have never invaded Ukraine.
You can always find a reason for and a reason against. You have to weigh yourself in terms are the reasons for negating the reasons against.
I gave you my answer. Again, I am not in a leadership position to direct my countries policies.
