Democrat Congresswoman and former USA Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has deemed the US’ mission in Afghanistan as ‘unnecessary’ and ‘wasteful’.
Gabbard has further criticised the American elite of engaging into nation-building in Afghanistan and thus subsequently causing a lot of suffering along with wasting taxpayer’s money worth trillions.
However, she blamed the leadership that chose to continue the war in the Asian country of lacking any clear mission or strategy.
The 40-year-old explained that this is the same elite that will probably pull the USA will into more expensive military adventures under the garb of propagating and protecting democracy in the future as well.
“Out of aloha, we weep for the suffering that the elite have already caused; and out of aloha, we must stop them from causing even more,” Gabbard concluded her comments on this issue in a series of tweets.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
