So after 20 years of waging war with the Taliban and spending trillions of dollars, we sign a peace deal ? At the same time, we always seem to be eager to cut food stamps, refugee support, healthcare.
- pjc50 7y agoThe peace deal is the best opportunity to stop pouring money into graves.

If you can work out how supporting food stamps can make those same people filthy rich, and maintain their hegemony, then I'm sure they'll go for it.
