Afghanistan. Ecco i numeri del disastro, raccolti da The Washington Post War in Afghanistan: How much did the U.S. spend, troops killed and other key numbers - The Washington Post .
Alcuni sono abbastanza noti, altri finora sconosciuti o non considerati. Ne prendiamo due che danno l'idea del perché l'Afghanistan dopo vent'anni di guerra è tornato nelle mani dei talebani e che dimostra dove è stato l'errore principale degli Stati Uniti e dei loro alleati: puntare tutto o quasi sulla sicurezza e sulla strategia militare e non, invece, impostare un programma di ricostruzione fisica, culturale e mentale, del Paese.

"The total ongoing cost to the United States of the Afghan war is more than $2 trillion, per Brown, which includes operations in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. It includes some reconstruction costs but not future obligations toward lifetime care for American veterans or future interest payments on money borrowed to fund the war. A 2021 report by SIGAR, citing the Defense Department, said the United States had spent some $837 billion on warfighting alone." (WaPo)
145,000,000,000
The amount the United States has provided to implement reconstruction programs in Afghanistan since 2002 is more than $145 billion, according to SIGAR. The funds are used for a range of projects including to build the Afghan National Security Forces, promote good governance and engage in counternarcotics efforts.(WaPo)
