The United States has lost 30 years in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 “Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States has lost the last 30 years by going up and down the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan,” the sign reads. Pursuing the ghost of terrorists has only led to the loss of American capital, engulfing its people in the “perpetual fatigue of war” and allowing China to become a serious challenge to US global hegemony. Instead of sticking to this path and turning its wheels in Syria, Washington should turn its attention to more important issues. “The United States must allow regional powers to manage their challenges, which have never been the responsibility of the United States.”
