    The War in Afghanistan

    ROFL sure, random opinion piece is gospel. In any case you're derailing.

    The War in Afghanistan

    1. I don't think you should be trying nation building at all, but completely withdrawing all influence is a mistake. And you can retreat more cleanly, for humanitarian reasons. You could have done it more gradually. You could have confronted the Afghani politicians about their corruption (I...

    The War in Afghanistan

    That's a concern, but that's a secondary one at best. Israel is not Afghanistan, it has a functional and competent military force for one, has a world class weapons industry, is not nearly as dependent on the US as people tend to think, and to top it off, it has nuclear weapons. We won't have a...

    The War in Afghanistan

    It also makes the US look like serial betrayers.

    The War in Afghanistan

    How does one always win wars? In this case: by being more determined, more fanatical, more forceful, and, let's face it, more competent. Their opposition was more corrupt and inept than they were. You don't need support from the local population if you're scary enough that you can cow them into...

    The War in Afghanistan

    That doesn't prove the Afghani people want them in power. You have nothing. Cool story. Hahahahahah wow, out of all the deluded conspiracy theories I've heard this must be the most retarded one. Ah yeah, it's all part of the Jews secret plan to control the west, you got us :rolleyes...

    The War in Afghanistan

    Prove it. Then you wonder why people hate Americans. You caused this, and now you're literally gloating. How? Afghanistan has nothing to do with Israel. That's a diaspora thing. Why should we? It's your mess to clean.

    The War in Afghanistan

    Maybe you should have or maybe you shouldn't have, but the second you DID come there you had a responsibility. The clock doesn't turn backwards. And there WILL be consequences for America down the line, ones you'll feel personally. A delusional take. They don't want the Taliban. "Fuck you, I...

    The War in Afghanistan

    I don't care how you do it, that's up to you. I don't have a clean solution for you. If you want to leave then go ahead, but you shouldn't have left that mess behind. I categorically reject your argument. The fact that matters sucked before America doesn't change the fact that they messed it up...

    The War in Afghanistan

    I'll be satisfied when you clean up the messes YOU caused.

    https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/breaking-afghan-military-plane-shot-24770108 Afghani super Tucano shot down by Uzbekistan as the pilot crossed the border to escape the Taliban. The pilot survived.

    The War in Afghanistan

    "They seem friendly" CNN does what it does best, sucking up to America's enemies. Hope she likes that new look.

    The War in Afghanistan

    By the time the west wakes up the damage will be done. It will be much harder to wind the clock back. Attacking Afghanistan will be much harder if, say, the Taliban ends up acquiring modern SAM from China, and even worse if they acquire IRBMs and reach an accord with Iran (currently doesn't seem...

    The War in Afghanistan

    Good. If I were an Afghan citizen I would have been trying to mob the American troops there, or take their weapons. This humanitarian crisis is disgusting, people are literally tying themselves to planes and then falling down as they take off. All my contempt for America right now.

    The War in Afghanistan

    No. Tuesday times one thousand is more like it. What you seen up to this point is only a promo. 1. I'm not talking about Afghanistan alone, but American policy in general. 2. Everything is interconnected. The effect of what happened yesterday in Kabul will be felt with dozens of allies and...

    The War in Afghanistan

    For the USA and Europe. Military invasion is by far not the only threat a country can face from other countries, maybe not even in the top 5.

    The War in Afghanistan

    It began happening because the US started to weaken, and it will intensify a thousand fold as it continues to wither.

    The War in Afghanistan

    Iran and others will definitely be flooding Europe with refugees, and flooding both with terrorist attacks, drugs and more.

    The War in Afghanistan

    In the long term: Masses of refugees sweeping through Europe, severe disruption of maritime trade, swathes of territories in the ME and Africa falling into China's sphere of influence, emboldening it elsewhere and potentially igniting a war with the US, mass terrorism on European and US soil...

    The War in Afghanistan

    Those are negligible compared to what's coming. But yeah, I also admit America didn't handle Afghanistan correctly at all.
