10k Americans left behind
biden saying they wont have to airlift people out
people getting airlifted out
biden pushes the blame off onto anyone except himself
kamala the first women of color vice president has nothing useful to say or do
video of afghan citizens clinging onto an usa air force plane and falling from the sky

---
taliban surrounds the airports
religious fundamentalism, you can't reason with these people
their propaganda that they can negotiate
brutalization of women

---
The 300k military that afghan had was a fancy number for politicians in washington
many of which were illiterate
afghan is one of the most illiterate countries in the world
The 300k military did not stand a chance against fundamentalist taliban without US support

---
Tribalism in afghan, a single unified country could never work
There are at least 3 major tribes whom all want to run things their own way.

---
Deals made trading hostages during the obama administration lead to some high ranking taliban being apart of this afghan take over.


(I missed a lot of key notes)

what, destabilized? Afghanistan? When was Afghanistan ever stable?

So Tuna, remember those airliners that flew into buildings? One of 'em even crashed in a field somewhat close to where I live in PA.

That was the narrative used to invade Afghanistan. Go attack people who attacked us. I can accept that, regardless of hidden agendas. Things like this are also a flex to the world about our military prowess. Sometimes you just have to "show the flag."

I know the America hating Gen Z idiots don't remember, they were infants or not even born.

You sir, have no excuse.

totally bro

we attacked ISIS after 9/11 so we can steal oil from Afghanistan

it all makes sense now!

looks like someone didn't play attention to their Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Sometimes you just have to wage a pointless and unsuccessful twenty year war to "show the flag."
