The lesson from Afghanistan is that we should never try to impose our democratic, capitalistic principles on someone who doesn't want it.

@Ritt Jack The Biden administration is Camelot compared with the utter chaos we had with the previous administration.

Cuomo's fall from grace in such a short time is astonishing to me, having represented to voice of reason and reassurance during our darkest days last year. What will be his legacy?

@tirpitz19 That sounds good in theory. But capitalism and democracy come at a price and cannot be maintained unless there are systems in place to safeguard them. That money we spent nation building could have been put to better use here in our country. We should stop acting like the world's babysitter and start focusing on our own citizens, economy, and infrastructure.

@bradcanning875 One of the selling points of the whole campaign, as I recall, was to "restore free and fair elections" to the citizens the country.

@bradcanning875 Straw man argument. I proved your point incorrect. And I agree that the republicans are trying to subvert our democracy as well. But that is another topic.

@tirpitz19 That sounds extremely naive and idealistic. The reality is that we wasted trillions of dollars and sacrificed human lives for an ideal that never came to fruition. We need to start focusing on our own citizens instead of having these budget draining, pointless campaigns where we are not wanted.
