It would be nice to stop spending our money on these countries and put it into our own for a change.

But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

Wait are you upset that he thanks the taxpayers? I most be missing something.
Thats a qoute from the article you linked, what is there to be upset about?
"I'm bringing to you and to the people of the United States the gratitude of the Afghan people for the support that your taxpayers' money has provided Afghanistan over the past decade and for the difference that it has made to the well-being of the Afghan people," Karzai told Obama.The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...

Last time I checked, Japan and Germany weren't giving money to the places they occupied during WW2, I'm pretty sure the North wasn't handing out gold to the south, and the allied powers weren't giving freebies to the central powers... Originally Posted by Jackmoves

The problem is that outside owning the shit out of the Taliban we should not be "helping" the afgans and him thanking our taxpayers is just a slap in the face to us because we aren't getting the support we need here in the US (aka...trillions of dollars in debt)

When they thank us, apparently people get upset on our end. Originally Posted by Yilar

Most of them will give a general, 'thank you for helping us in our time of need' but never point it to anyone, which I find very insincere. I'm glad my money helped them. I'm also glad that they just didn't take the money or effort for granted.

I'm just glad we ain't part of Nato. The money we spend and the refugees we get I'm fine with.The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it.

It would also be nice if america could pay the 4.1 billion dollar cost by themselves not share it with the rest of NATO.

Good on him for thanking the taxpayers tbh.
Also I laughed at how many Americans are getting all up in arms, because your tax money has NEVER gone on something you didn't want it to go on, and you have 100% control over what your tax money goes on, and even after you've been taxed, it's still your money, RIGHT?!
Not nation bashing, as this is directly related to America.
Don't ban me, bro.

Then don't invade in the 1st place.... Originally Posted by nyc81991

This money isn't being spent as an act of charity. It's being spent because it's in the interests of your country that Afghanistan doesn't end up how it was pre 9/11. Personally I don't think the cost has been worth the result but if you decide to invade you need to see things through. If you go in, smash things up a bit and then leave nothing is achieved and all the lives and money spent so far have been wasted.
TLDR: this money is indirectly going into your own because it's going towards the security of your country.

You've spent the past decade spending billions on bombing the fuck out of them and now you don't want to help repair the mess you caused?
