U.S. agrees to provide military and financial aid to Afghanistan for the next decade

"A coalition of the willing (to provide token non-financial support)"

Funny how the overthrow of the Taliban was originally a coalition of what, about 50 nations? But when the bill comes who is stuck with it?

Why is that funny, it wasn't their war. Coalition of the willing was just to make people feel like it's a world united action. It's our war, that's why we are the only ones paying. What reason do places like Poland have to finance Afghanistan?

USA should really stop playing the patsy when it comes to international matters like this, but I guess they want to be the Big Boy on the block and so taxpayers are on the hook again.

Patsy? We started the war, we are the lead here not the patsy. Places like Poland that get added to the coalition of the willing are patsies, their our patsies.

United States: "Poland, we have this war we want to start. We need you to sign your name on this list of willing participants.

Poland: "Wait a minute, we don't want to be in a war. We have our own problems. We can't afford to go around getting in wars all the time!"

United States: "Don't worry. We will pay for everything. You just need to say you are a willing participant and send some peacekeeping personnel."

Poland: "Wait another minute! You mean we get credit for being in the war but we don't have to do anything...AND you pay for it all? Ok."

not sure of what to think of this. could go either way tbh, if they didnt fund the afghan forces then in 10years time the country may have gone back to shit, and the US will have to get involved again, or fund them for 10years and after that 10years the afghan government/army is capable of defending its own lands. but i dunno, that was just a guess, i am probably wrong.
