Evidence of anything would be scarce or nonexistent. It's Afghanistan. Would you want your name out there cooperating with the US when the Taliban is still around? Would you be comfortable with that?

There's no way I would ever cooperate with a USA military invasion, no matter how bad the local conditions might be. For at least 60 years, USA military has made every situation they've ever touched worse. I wouldn't imagine that "it's different this time!" As addressed in sibling thread, it has been a decade. The USA military-industrial complex is highly motivated to manufacture more reasons to silence Assange. If this had happened once in that decade, we would have heard about it.

    OK, you got me. An area that was never occupied by USA ground troops (that was NATO, UN, and OSCE), saw a couple weeks of USA flyovers before the Serbs withdrew, and which later was ruled by heroin and organ traffickers as a result, totally proves that the Afghans would have been wise to welcome the invasion with open arms. Not really!

  > For at least 60 years, USA military has made every situation they've ever touched worse. This is objectively wrong. Operation unified response in Haiti in 2010, Operation Continuing Promise in the Caribbean and Latin America in 2011. Then Enduring Promise back in Latin America in 2018. Operation Tomodachi after the Japan earthquake in 2011. Then of course there is the Cold War which lead to the breakup of the Soviet Union and the chance for political self determination of over a dozen countries. Your convenient 60 year boundary just excludes the Korean War which led to the prosperous and democratic country of South Korea.

    Sure we all like inexpensive and functional durable goods like Hyundai automobiles, but then again that war did kill a fifth of all Koreans. So, maybe not completely a good thing?

      Let me remind you what you claimed: > For at least 60 years, USA military has made every situation they've ever touched worse. It takes an absurd kind of disingenuousness to assert that the actual outcome of the Korean war is worse than the alternative outcome of a unified Korea under the Kim regime.

  I didn't ask if you would. I asked that had you, would you want your name out there?

I’m not comfortable with any part of invading a country, so no.
