So we're ignoring the atrocities happening in Afghanistan because a Democrat is president right? Just want to make sure.

We should have withdrawn on May 1st like Trump originally agreed to. Afghanistan was going to fall anyway. Any argument to the contrary ignores the past 20 years and is stupid neocon brainworm shit. We were never going to nation-build them out of being a despotic tribal region.

Boo hoo, no more Foreverwar.Quote:
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden plans to pull all military forces out of Afghanistan by Sept. 11, ending U.S. presence in the Middle Eastern nation by the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that spurred America's longest war.
The move will extend military presence in Afghanistan beyond the May 1 withdrawal date previously negotiated by former President Donald Trump.
...
Republicans, many who criticized Trump's plans to leave Afghanistan, quickly slammed Biden's timeline. Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, said it would be a "grave mistake" and an "abdication of American leadership."
I mean, it's been on the front page of the NYTimes for the last couple of days. What are you looking for?
I am specifically referring to the PC who lost their shit every time Trump drank a can of Coke.Quote:

Oh, fair enough. I usually don't click on Politics threads because cancer, but it's been a slow day here because of Duskruin probably.
We should have withdrawn the day after we killed OBL. I knew from the moment I met the Afghan National Army that they were fucked when we left.
They were noticeably shittier than the Iraqi Army, and that is saying a lot, because they sucked too.

I thought Democrats would at least pretend to care about brown people suffering...ah hell who am I kidding. This is what I expected to happen. They only care about brown people when a Republican is president.Quote:
