    They cut and ran in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and that was when the U.S. was a global hegemon at its absolute peak. No way they can regime change a country that is more populous and developed than both neighbors put together.

    Especially not after they have spend the last 9 years destroying their international power structures.

    I mean, sure, they kan kill a few hundred thousand people, declare victory and fuck off, but they can’t do much to actually change anything for the better long term.
