USA won, duh, just like they won the war on terror in Afghanistan!
We absolutely won the war on terror in Afghanistan.
Osama bin Laden tried to show that he was the scariest terrorist, and the US military took that personally and wasn't willing to give up the crown. So, for a decade before his death, and a decade after, we spent trillions of dollars to make sure that a bunch of nice, lovely shepherds would shit themselves with fear if they're at a wedding or funeral and hear the sound of an airplane in the distance.
The goal was to make the most terror right? Did I move the goalposts enough that the US still wins?
One might even say we were the terrorest
And the war on drugs!
