I hate jingoistic bullshit. 3days? How many years were we in Afghanistan?
Ukraine troops are battle hardened and have NATO tanks and weapons. They are holding on but territory changes are tiny. Modern war isn’t WW2 blitzkrieg.
The actual entry into Afghanistan and overwhelming of local forces was wildly fast? The majority of our time in Afghanistan wasn’t slowly advancing on Kabul. It was failing miserably to build a coherent state sympathetic to US interests amidst a mad dash of privatized MIC interests maximally extracting revenues from the US.
Yup, doesn’t help that Afghanistan is like 5 territories masquerading as one whole state. The only reason Afghanistan hasn’t split is because of the Taliban holding it together.

Yes, you take Moscow in 3 days like Kabul, then what? It has no military value.
How many will then die over the decades to road side bombs?
