Pentagon report: US has spent nearly $ 2001 billion on war in Afghanistan since 200

The United States has calculated the financial resources that were spent from the American budget for the war in Afghanistan and the maintenance of the American military contingent in this country. Recall that in 2021 it will be exactly 20 years since the start of the Afghan campaign of the United States and its allies in Afghanistan.

According to official information published in a report by the Pentagon, almost $ 20 billion (more precisely, $ 200 billion) has been spent over almost 193 years of the American military presence in Afghanistan. At the same time, the US itself believes that the real numbers may turn out to be at least a quarter more.

After the announcement of these figures, the statement of the official representative of the main military department, John Kirby, is being actively discussed. According to him, "while there is a discussion of whether it is worth completely withdrawing the American contingent from Afghan territory."

Kirby:

All of you remember about the approaching dates that were previously determined for the withdrawal of troops. But today I cannot say for sure which version of military planning will be implemented in the end. We have not yet taken a final decision on the future format of our stay in Afghanistan.

It should be recalled that under President Donald Trump, the United States made a deal with the Taliban terrorist movement (banned in the Russian Federation), on the basis of which they pledged to withdraw a significant part of the troops by July 15, 2021. Washington said that by that time they would reduce the number of their military contingent in Afghanistan from 13 thousand to 8,6 thousand people. Then they began to talk about reducing the number to 2,5 thousand people and even about the complete withdrawal of US troops.

Part of the contingent was withdrawn.

And this is the statement by the head of the US Department of Defense, General Lloyd Austin:

A reduction in the number of US troops in Afghanistan will depend on a decrease in the level of violence in the country. There can be no surprises here. We will consult with our NATO partners.

As follows from the words of the head of the Pentagon, the United States is not going to consult with the official Kabul on this matter.

They shit on Russia with Afghan drugs no less, if you don't count the CIS! And "ours" allowed them to transit at the same time!

[Shurik70]

They print these pieces of paper themselves, in any quantity.
And they sell it to the rest of the world for money.
So the rest of the world spent its money. For the Americans in Afghanistan to cover the drug dealers.

And where are our vociferous human rights defenders with righteous indignation: "it would be better to spend this money on hungry children and sick old people ..."?

[Alex777]

And "ours" allowed them to transit at the same time!

There was no transit. There was only talk about him.

For this money, it was possible to buy the whole of Afghanistan with all the giblets in the form of the Taliban and poppy fields.

A reduction in the number of US troops in Afghanistan will depend on a decrease in the level of violence in the country.

Or maybe it's the other way around? Although unlikely. They have been fighting there for so many years that they probably cannot even imagine a peaceful life.
On the other hand, if the statistics do not lie, then over the decades of incessant wars, the population of Afghanistan has tripled ... How so?

[smart ass]

Don't worry the states will print more money

So the lion's share of this money is simply STEALED: the Americans themselves write that they have carried out unnecessary "research" (for example, elephants during mine clearance ), never used "centers", "schools", 2points "were built (money was washed on this), huge amounts of money were written off, etc.-corruption is blooming.

Afghanistan is an established state We spent 200 lard. And someone was bought for just 5 ...

Pentagon report: US has spent nearly $ 2001 billion on war in Afghanistan since 200

Well, yes, well, yes, we did it ... and some people didn’t make some money.

[cniza]

I was very surprised by this figure, this is what they wrote last year:

[rocket757]

Their affairs, who knows, how they are there debit with credit, reduce.
They have to burden their voter with such problems, there is no interes ... but it’s just a side to us.

[cniza]

A new administration came and immediately reduced the costs by an order of magnitude, apparently they are preparing for something ...

[rocket757]

The current problems will be for you too, the budget deficit, however, is not small.

[cniza]

All these are their problems, if only the warrior is not unleashed in other countries ...

[rocket757]

This is a question, questions.
Do you know when is better, the code is worse or better for them ???

[cniza]

Here, here - it would be better to smoothly, gradually stew in their problems and did not touch anyone ...

I was very surprised by this figure, this is what they wrote last year:

Just 200 lard is the sum of "net" losses.
According to the infographic you provided, the cost of the war from 2001 to 2019 was 768 lard.
Part of the attendants (specifically, 768-193 = 575) was highly likely repulsed by the supply and sale of organic products grown and processed in Afghanistan.
This production is highly likely completely under the control of the army and government of the SGA.

Maybe someone shed a tear, but not drug dealers. Only they know how much profit they made. And they violet how much was spent, how much died (and from which side it does not matter). If anything, they will share it with whomever they need to and the show will continue.

[Doccor18]

The US has spent nearly $ 2001 billion on the war in Afghanistan since 200

And how much did you earn?

[orionvitt]

the number of US troops in Afghanistan will depend on the reduction in the level of violence in the country.

They give. It is all the same what to say, like "we will withdraw our troops if the gravitational constant or the speed of light in a vacuum changes." That is, never. But if the gravitational constant and the speed of light are the laws of nature, then the violence in Afghanistan, they sow themselves.

[Cowbra]

Did they even beat off on the drug trade?
PiSi: but in general, it is strange that there are so few. After they built the most expensive gas station in the world in Afghanistan ... Is that what had to be done there to make its price 46 million dollars? Not otherwise, Rockefeller personally washes the windows there at the gas station

[tralflot1832]

Here we must add 2401 soldiers and 3973 mercenaries were killed in Afghanistan, the result is minus zero. And someone became millionaires.

[Mordvin 3]

For twenty years? Um ..., the score is not in our favor. And also,

Quote: tralflot1832

result minus zero.

Although no, they planted our trees there, accepted Afghan women as pioneers, and built houses.

[tralflot1832]

1700 allies also need to be added. They are also building, in 15 they built a gas station for 43 million $ !!!

[Mordvin 3]

Quote: tralflot1832

1700 allies also need to be added.

All the same, our losses for 10 years amount to about 15 thousand people.

Quote: tralflot1832

They are also building, in '15 they built a gas station for $ 43 million !!!

And they immediately bombed them, probably, so that no one would know where they threw the money.

[dzvero]

All the same, our losses for 10 years amount to about 15 thousand people.

And how many operations of a similar scale and against comparable forces have they carried out?

[Mordvin 3]

Quote: dzvero

And how many operations of a similar scale and against comparable forces have they carried out?

No idea. By the way, they were able to destroy bin Laden, and our special forces never got to the head of Shah Massoud, or to the head of General Dostum, although the tasks of eliminating them were set.

[dzvero]

I have only Tora-Bora in my memory, and that is because of the bomb. And let's keep quiet about bin Laden ... he will suddenly rise again ... and those marines were allowed to flow ...

[Mordvin 3]

Quote: dzvero

Bin Laden left Tora Bora just on the eve of mom's dropping of the bomb, when the special forces of the French Legion installed beacons so that the Americans would not miss this mountain.

Quote: dzvero

and those marines were allowed to flow ...

It is so, maybe they simply did not want to pay the money, because they promised to pay one hundred million dollars for bin Laden's head.

Perhaps this is the resulting figure, after calculating the debit-credit.
They booted-stole $ 1 trillion.
Earned on selling drugs (spent on financing shadow special operations, partially stolen) $ 0.8 trillion.
Total, costs 200 billion.

[dzvero]

Something too modest, they got the amount ...

They just show congressmen and senators that there are no costs and there is no need to go out of business

[cniza]

It is this goal that they pursue ...

[Timofey Charuta]

Friends who know.

It is interesting to compare the costs and losses of the USSR with all the difference in the eras, when all this happened to the states.

[NF68]

And what did you achieve in the end? All the same, someday you will have to take your feet out of there.

[Niko]

Yes, they have a lot of money.

[Alien From]

The printing press also has its resource .... and it runs out!

[Just a Traveler]

This is ridiculous money by American standards.
10 billion a year, this is "nothing" for them at all.

[akarfoxhound]

For these grandmothers from all of Afghanistan - Las Vegas could be made, but the goals ...

[ximkim]

Not a small amount has accumulated in twenty years
.But with the incomes of the United States, everything is in order, so the budget allows not to waste time on buildup, and not to tell voters to tighten their belts.

[Metallurg_2]

Interestingly, the drugs taken out from there through the transshipment base in Kosovo somehow cover the costs?

[123456789]

But you can arrange a second Vietnam

[iouris]

Earned on drugs five times more.

[Evil 55]

I would also like to know who and how much earned on drugs exported from Afghanistan under the control of the USA.

[Pardus]

in the United States itself, they believe that the real numbers may turn out to be at least a quarter more

A quarter of a billion more, less ... They don't care))) They will turn on the machine and print additional billions of dollars))) That they should issue unsecured pieces of paper)))

[Pardus]

We have not yet made a final decision on the future format of our stay in Afghanistan.

In general, the Americans will not withdraw troops from Afghanistan. They will continue to destroy the country.

[Pardus]

the United States is not going to consult with official Kabul on this matter.

With one of my own sixes US vassals consulted? No never. They need vassals not for consultations, but as cannon fodder.
