How many similarities can you spot between the Jan 6 riot and the overthrow of the Afghanistan government Conversely, how many differences can you spot? |

So we should lower our nat'l standards by comparing an American form of extremism to an older, more entrenched version abroad?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanaticism The mishandling of this withdrawal, the immediate fallout and long-term effects are all worthwhile topics to discuss but not while being set against the backdrop of January 6th to make the insurrection seem benign. Any two things can be used in a compare and contrast to make one seem less bad, that doesn't suddenly make it not bad. Also, call Afghanistan a shithole if you want, but that hole has avoided getting its shit pushed in time and again throughout history. https://www.quora.com/Did-Alexander-...er-Afghanistan |

You think the Austrians in 1940 were more qualified than anyone else to determine their future and they made good choices? |

The reality is that the second we decided to pull out the police and security forces started taking bribes from the Taliban or just abandoning their posts altogether. That's what led to the Taliban's rapid advance. So if you start evacuating Americans and getting Afghans visas before you commit to a pull out, the same thing would happen; people would just realize that meant the Americans were going to announce a pullout soon and they'd start accepting surrender bribes/deserting just like they did in the current scenario. |
