Afghanistan is surrounded by several countries, all of which are eccentric and hard to deal with. Since the time of Alexander the Great, no foreign nation was able to control this country. Even well-known Alexander the Great wasn't able to conquer the area, and every nation or power which tried to conquer the area since then was fought back. The U.S. is going back home now. I've seen the same scene in which lots of people were trying to escape the country as that of present Afghanistan. Though I didn't know about the global conditions, I felt somewhat sorry to see the people who were fleeing Vietnam in 1975. Then Laos and Cambodia became communist. Then Iran became islamic in 1978.
The U.S. lost its authority. Lots of people in the world would think so, observing the situation of Afghanistan. I saw the U.S. President Biden's televised address about a month ago, and he told us that Afghanistan's situation is perfectly controlled by the U.S., but his fabrication was exposed in a few weeks. The U.S. declares that it will protect Japan from invasions by other countries, but is that credible? I learned that the U.S. isn't almighty. Japan should get armed enough to discourage the Chinese Communist Party.
How about buying the U.S. Naval 7th fleet along with the soldiers from the U.S.? The U.S. can save budget and the U.S. national bond which Japan owns would be enough to pay for them.
(Vocabulary)
