It's heartbreaking to think of the life those poor people will have to suffer now.

Brother,

At the end of the day the US did absolutely nothing to better the Afghani people. This was nothing more than 20 years of fraud and funneling tax payer money. We allowed opium and ephedra production to ramp up and turned society into opium and meth addicts. Our biggest illusion of an accomplishment was the "liberation " of women. We introduced a Masters in Gender Studies at the "University" more to appease US critics than actually liberate women. Afghani women are still beat and abused just as much as they were 20 years ago. Kabul is an absolute sh*thole to this day.

Ian Bremmer was on CNBC to discuss Afghanistan and I thought he was reasonably forthright in his answers. In a nutshell, Afghanistan has been a lost cause for a while under multiple administrations, but the way Biden handled the pullout and overall situation is an abomination. Our allies are super ****ed, and there may be large number of western civilian casualties because of his incompetence.

Exactly this. The pullout was inevitable and needed. HOW the exit was conducted... well. #stolenelectionshaveconsequences

It wasn't about nation-building or the betterment of the Afghans. It was a warriors sandbox - for better or worse. It served its purpose as long as it could - the CCP's checks were not going to bounce.

If you mean the net effect, you're right. We have a rebellious streak that we expect/hope would cause us to rebel against oppression. It's what our country was founded on. But others don't think about fighting back, their first thought is get the **** out.

I know this is Babylon Bee but there was a CNN reporter that changed into a hijab and was like “these guys are friendly” while she was surrounded by a bunch of Taliban brehs chanting “death to America”.

Respect, brother. We just might have a slightly different opinion. I don’t think the US ever gave a flying f*ck or had any compassion or empathy for these people. This was about protecting the US people and/or revenge

I'm not saying there was ever any altruistic motive. But we did go in and give them a taste of what life could be like, then let that door slam right in their faces.

I'm also not saying we should move the Afghan population here, but those who helped are now in danger because of us.

Bay of Pigs
Afghanistan

Why would anyone work with us?

I guess pride month in Kabul wasn't a big hit.

I'm sure the LBGTQ-whatever community in Afghanistan are not happy these days....they will be hunted and killed.

Yet the left is silent on this massive humanitarian disaster to be.

I believe there were better ways to get out. As it was, we were able to support the very feeble Afghan army with a minimal commitment of troops and air power.

It will embolden the worst state actors, such as China, Russia and Iran.

The Europeans are beside themselves over this feckless leader. The actors in the nascent peace process in the Middle East will suffer a blow to their confidence. War with Iran is even more likely.

As far as the freak in the video, some might think it's cute or simply a way to irritate certain people. I don't think a mentally ill young man is cute or funny.
