People kept telling me that the Taliban won the war in Afghanistan but I kept telling them the US Military Industrial complex won.

I agree with you! And as we speak, they are selling weapons to the Taliban, and selling weapons to whoever is fighting Taliban at the moment.
After there’s nothing left but smoking rubble, the IMF (controlled by the same concerns) will give the winner a “loan.” The winner won’t be able to pay off those loans, so what will they do? Provide them with more loans to cover those loans. The interest is all profit, and the “loan” is never actual printed money in circulation and is “virtual money”, so it costs them nothing. They collect all of that interest with no cost to themselves.
I’m simplifying, it’s actually much worse than I describe. The more you investigate it, the worse it gets…
