20 Years Of War In Afghanistan Has Cost US Taxpayers Over $2.2 Trillion
• https://www.zerohedge.com by Tyler Durden...the US has wasted literally trillions over years propping up a government that now appears to barely be putting up a fight.
"From its start in 2001 through April 2021, the war in Afghanistan has cost U.S. taxpayers approximately $2.261 trillion, according to estimates earlier this year from the Costs of War Project at Brown University," Fox News reviews of the disturbingly high figures. All that as the US public now sits back and witnesses US-trained Afghan forces retreat "without a bullet being fired"...
A massive Afghan army unit with dozens of Humvees & APCs surrenders to Taliban in Zabul. Qalat city of Zabul was taken today without a bullet being fired.

Zabul is where Mullah Omar passed away from Tb. His hideout was not far from the American base 'FOB Wolverine'. #Afghanistan pic.twitter.com/c82BOuPgd2
