Thread: Taliban taking over Afghanistan

    Default Taliban taking over Afghanistan

    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    We should have withdrawn on May 1st like Trump originally agreed to.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.

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...-1/7205023002/

    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."
    Boo hoo, no more Foreverwar.

    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.

    I think we should have left Afghanistan a long time ago, just funny listening to the deafening silence of the PC who accused Trump of "abandoning" our Kurdish allies now unsurprisingly silent as a terrorist organization takes over Afghanistan and is committing atrocities left and right and Biden is doing nothing about it, he's not even paying lip service to Afghans, instead he is pleading with the Taliban to spare the US embassy.

    We should have withdrawn the day after we killed OBL.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.

    To be honest.. what did you believe the outcome was going to be?

    My favorite part in all of this was President Biden laughing off the question that the Taliban would overtake Afghanistan once we left.

    This was in July......

    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.

    Everyone remember the shitstorm when Trump killed an Iranian terrorist "general"? They cared more about a murdering scumbag than they do innocent people in Afghanistan.
