A lot of ink is being spilled these days about Trump making moves to "limit abortions." The conventional wisdom on the subject is that the easier it is to get an abortion, the more free and advanced women become and the more "equality" is created between genders.
But there is a problem with this. The "equality" that abortion creates involves killing an unknown entity for economic reasons. Personal economic reasons.
We have been taught (in the last half century) that this unborn baby is not a person, is not a life, and is not worth saving if the mother doesn't feel like supporting it. Media often teaches us that certain nations need to be destroyed in order to save the economic order.
Drones are similar in the sense that the killer is far removed from the victims of the killing.
And like drones, abortion allows a human to kill another human without putting his/her own life in danger. These technologies remove the mutual danger of killing your baby, or killing your enemy.
And in both cases, the killer has no idea who they've removed from existence: the next Einstein? The next Gandhi? A wedding party of doctors and charity workers?
In both cases, economic reasons are served, and future lives (of unknown quality) are ended by a person whose own life is in no danger.

The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the US and Europe through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite.
The goal is an endless war, not a successful war.
