The world? Not really. With nukes, sure, but not their military. They were never allowed to win in Afghanistan. There was no winning Afghanistan without going door-to-door, cave-to-cave, murdering literally every single Afghan. Even then, it would have been a loss diplomatically. The U.S. regime was never intending to win the war. It was simply a war to make money for special interest groups, and dumb grunts paid in blood and trauma for every minute the occupation lasted. Soon, all Americans are going to pay for what they spent the last two decades enabling. Drone strikes and suicide jihadis are coming to a place near you. All blamed on a foreign enemy while the domestic enemies pulling the strings sit back and watch as if it were simply a profitable bloodsport.
