The Unwinnable War on Terror, 17 Years of Perpetual War, and What's to Show for It? Chaos and Destruction

September 11, 2001 was the spark that launched the "New American Century". A "catastrophic and catalyzing event" was needed to push America it's next stage of Empire, at least that's what neocons wanted. And they got what they wanted.

But what did the rest of the world get? What has Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait and now Syria gotten? A shitload of chaos and destruction is what. This "war on terror" is just an excuse to reshape the globe into what the globalists want. Some within the military power structure have stated the war on terror will be a 100 year war, despite promises of short interference which was never going to be the case. Some even want perpetual endless conflict. They have plans of their own to plunge the U.S. and much of the world into a perpetual state of fear, terror and trauma.

The unwinnable nature of the war on terror has been recognized by many, even by some who wanted to engage in it. The cost of the war is minimal to them and their interests, as they reap benefits through profits while the masses of soldiers are the ones who pay the price, along with the hundreds of thousands of those they are ordered to harm. The highest cost is to them, those who are invaded for various motives of the political and financial elite.

Some within the military have admitted the war can't be won. The most recent is a top U.S. commander, Gen. Austin Scott Miller, who took command of NATO's Resolute Support mission in September. Speaking to NBC News, he bluntly stated the apparent never-ending conflict can't be won militarily, but requires a peace that can only be achieved from political resolutions:

"This is not going to be won militarily. This is going to a political solution."

Speaking from the Resolute Support headquarters building in Kabul, Miller suggests the Taliban might also realize there is no way for them to win militarily either:

"My assessment is the Taliban also realizes they cannot win militarily. So if you realize you can't win militarily at some point, fighting is just, people start asking why. So you do not necessarily wait us out, but I think now is the time to start working through the political piece of this conflict."

But the Taliban aren't so willing to accept that end and aren't too interested in negotiations with Americans, according to an interview RT had with a top Taliban commander. The Taliban might just have to hold their ground. The conflict was seen as a stalemate for years, until recently where things have tipped in favor of the Taliban.

While the Afghan puppet government put in by the U.S. controls, or rather, influenced just over half of the 407 total districts in the country, the Taliban controls the rest. That's a record low since 2015 when the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) began tracking data on district control. On top of that, the Afghan government has suffered numerous casualties at the hands of the Taliban in the past few months. The Pentagon says the Afghan security forces suffered a loss of 1,000 fatalities in August and September 2018.

Miller himself survived a Taliban attack in Kandahar in October, leaving an Afgahn warlord and local intelligence chief dead. Despite the current desire for a political peace by Miller and the State Department, it seems efforts to promote peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban may not be realized, at least not in the short term.

Some Taliban are putting down their guns and willing to stop fighting. It just isn't the majority yet. Whatever the future holds, one things I can be pretty sure of, is that the U.S. won't leave to allow the Taliban to overthrow the Afghan government the U.S. put in. The Taliban will have to disarm completely, putting them under statist authority and control, with the U.S. having conquered a key position in the globalist effort towards a new world order and centralized superstate that will pull all the strings.
