Americans spent 100 billions of dollars on terrorists abroad

“Our progress in building security forces over the last fifteen years has been negligible,” former US Ambassador to Afghanistan Carl Eikenbury told the New York Times.

The rebels have been making some progress lately, putting Washington's long-term strategy at risk. The Taliban in Afghanistan were able to take control of Kunduz, the country's fifth largest city, last week. However, the battle for the city between rebels and American-trained Afghan troops continues. The shelling of a hospital in Kunduz by the US military on October 3 killed 22 people. Gen. John Campbell testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday that the airstrikes were carried out in error because the Afghan Army said Taliban militants were hiding there. Medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) previously said the hospital was targeted deliberately.

Meanwhile, the US-backed military in Iraq and Syria is so far unable to stop radical members of the Islamic State group, who are seizing more and more territory. And in countries like Yemen and Somalia, which are affiliated with al-Qaeda, almost no one is opposing terrorists at all.

According to Vocativ, the United States spent 65 billions of dollars on training for the military, police and local militia in Afghanistan, 25 billions on the army and police of Iraq. One billion dollars went to training the armed forces of the African Union, opposing the terrorists in Somalia, six hundred thousand dollars to the military in Mali and other countries of north-west Africa, and five hundred thousand dollars to supporters in Yemen and Syria. The difference between Syrian aid lies in the fact that it turns out to be Washington, not to the state, but to rebel groups, the opposition regime of President Bashar Assad.
