Misadventure? Is Brazil in Afghanistan? (Chas is going to tell us more about South West Asia strategy in a minute) Tell me: How is the US going to extricate out of that place?

How much is going to cost? USSR ended after Afghanistan. US must get out while it still can walk.

Costs will be unbearable. But Chas is going to clarify this for the thread. Just wait.
