Remind me, why are we still in Afghanistan???

IMO this is still about oil or more importantly oil dollars. Most of the worlds oil is sold for US dollars.The countries agree to that or get invaded or over thrown. This is the replacement for the gold standard and gives the US dollar stability. Russia found a new oil source in the eastern area. Afghanistan is in the way of a pipe line to the Black sea. That is why Russia was there and why we are there now. Russia wanted the pipeline, we don't. It would lower the cost of crude and may ruin our economy by not having the dollar based on oil. Remember one important thing from history. Afghanistan is where armies go to die. It has been this way since Genghis Khan, Alexander the great, Great Brittan and Russia plus a few others.. It hasn't changed. If Russia sold a lot of oil for gold or the promise to pay, it could ruin the value of our dollar.

You fail to realize, there is a difference between national debt and the economy. The national debt will never go down as long as we have the FED. The economy has to do with the movement of money. Yes, we have had a great economy even though the national debt has never gone down. Andrew Jackson was the only President that paid off the national debt and the economy was absolute junk. The second worse depression, we ever had. The oil based dollar moves money and moving money helps the economy. It also makes the US dollar the standard of the world. I don't like the strong arms tactics of this, which is play our game or we kill you, but it's what we have and the FED is a active part of it.

You don't believe Henry Kissinger made a deal with most of the worlds oil producers, when Nixon defaulted on the gold based dollar. That deal was one you couldn't refuse.

That may explain why the US is in Niger. It's a replay of Afghanistan.

Afghanistan wanted a high price for the oil and gas pipeline right of way. The oil companies decided it was cheaper to regime change Afghanistan!
