Afghanistan Megathread

[Baler]

I wonder what they got for selling American tech to china, russia and other countries.

Maybe some fertilizer for their poppy fields.

Taliban going door to door looking for U.S. citizens

One day soon there will be no more evil. I have come not to bring peace to the earth, but to destroy it.

[starkind]

Democrats are so insane that they wanna give Biden credit for ending the war in Afghanistan and Trump blame for the evacuation disaster.

That’s literally the opposite of what really happened.

They deserve equal credit for a relatively peaceful exit, though 13 is a tragic number and deserves mourning.

I dont know why biden gets credit for a peaceful exit during trump and a complete failure of one under biden but I have a feeling youre really biting your nails about 2024 so Ill allow it.

On the bright side, the insane yelling some rightwads are doing atm dampens that likely outcome.

It wouldn't be a cult of personality if conservatives like Jib could give credit to anyone but their glorious former president.

They both deserve blame for what is going to happen to the citizens of afghanistan. There are 18 year old afghan girls who have never known what it's like to live under the taliban, who are about to find out what sex slavery means. It only took a presence of about 2500 US troops to keep the country relatively stable, leaving was a mistake. It made our country less safe (terrorists can plan terrorisms easily now) and it certainly made afghanistan less safe. And it empowered countries like china who have no scruples and are willing to bro down with the taliban. There is absolutely no strategic justification for leaving, not to mention the manner in which we left, not to mention the 80 billion dollars of military equipment we LEFT BEHIND. Like whaaaaaaat the fuck??

Need gear to interdict terrorist activity.

Like it or not, the Taliban are our security partners now(Thanks Trump! Thanks Biden!) like Saudi Arabia. Ick.
