      No you didn’t. You probably don’t even realize the independent nation of Afghanistan negotiated with the Taliban for an American withdrawal, because that would fuck up your fantasy. It’s toward the end, here, and is my favorite response to “Afghanistan was American Imperialism”

      The Taliban won zero engagements of significance and retook 0 territory from US forces. US forces toppled the Taliban in weeks. In any engagement, they suffered 30:1 casualty rates or more.

      You don’t even understand the framework of the engagement, much less who “won.”
