Doesn't indeed.. And don't doubt for one second they're not plotting. I'm wondering who their next target is going to be....Iran has nuclear don't they, so they'd be careful with that...Turkey is kinda running with the hare and chasing with the fox, so that could prove tricky..The US doesn't want to inadvertently upset either Europe or Russia....I'm guessing Turkey, given it's geographical location....but whoever it is..you wait, there'll be a reason hitting your tv screens once they've decided...I just saw this cartoon and it doesn't bare thinking about..

Reference google .
Afghanistan ashrif ghani army said that government not paid their salaries since last 6 months . Total Afghanistan army reached their pension age . They serve American's 20 years now my point is who give them old age funds . If all Afghanistan ex army goes to America labor court . I hope they will give them Justice and also they ordered to paying all old age funds and pensions. If they not paid it's human rights violation . And then human rights NGO will do strike for ex army of Afghanistan . I hope you add this seriously issue.
They deserve their old age funds and pensions . American leave 82 billions weapons if they Also add some more billions for pensions and old age benefits (funds ) . American is rich country. it's no problem for them . So please consider this issue .
It's a true matter. but it's a joke don't take seriously.

It’s not 20 years .. wars have been ongoing for hundreds , if not thousands of years .
People can be evacuated for some respite, but in the end , the only people that can escape war are the dead .
