Himes: All we have is history to go on, and we engineered three regime changes in the region over the course of the last 20 years: Gaddafi in Libya—we had a lot to do with that. We destroyed the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001. And, of course, Iraq. Now:... Libya, Afghanistan, and Iraq—did any of those go our way? No, they did not.show more

Our way? when was a regime change ever meant to go "our way"?

Ya left out the most important one what the CIA did to Iran in 1970’s

I’d say Iraq hasn’t gone against us. It’s a net improvement since 2001. Lybia net positive and Afghanistan net neutral.

Himes nails it—Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq: three catastrophic regime changes proving interventionist foreign policy is a fiscal black hole. Libya’s oil infrastructure torched, Afghanistan’s $2.3 trillion collapse, Iraq’s ISIS blowback—all textbook examples of D.C. pouring taxpayer cash into unwinnable nation-building quagmires. The Pentagon’s own audits show $35 billion wasted annually on failed security force training in these theaters. Real security isn’t built by occupying deserts but by laser-focused defense priorities that don’t destabilize entire regions. America First means learning from these disasters: stop funding chaos, start securing the homeland. The receipts on wasted billions and failed interventions are public—see the hard numbers here:

Ummm...does this guy know what's going on in Afghanistan? 👀

How'd that turn out?🤔#USA #abandonment

The most important detail is that they may not have gone the USA's way but they definitely went Israel's way.

These were AWESOME wars. -Halliburton Shareholder
