    As always, you have no capacity to apply context to circumstances, decisions and outcomes. You're jumping on a bandwagon ferrying morons and driven by propagandists. Withdrawal from Afghanistan is the ONLY decent thing Biden has done. If he did it. Which he didn't. This is what I mean, the moron tribe make assumptions or accept propaganda and THEN draw their conclusions, which are inevitably invalid by default even when they sound reasonable PROVIDED the underlying false assumptions and/ or propaganda is true. Which it never is. Fucking hurts the brain having to deal with so many morons.

    Or are you talking about something else?
    I'm 100% in favour of it. And 100% against the US being there in the first place. I've read extensively on the history and culture of Afghanistan (due to the events in the 70s and 80s) and it's absolutely obvious what is happening today, regardless of the utter bullshit being spewed by the legacy media. It's so painful watching people without knowledge have opinions on things that aren't actually real.

    Pray tell why abandoning Afghanistan where thousands of people will die at the hands of the taliban, the rights fought & won for women etc will now disappear and another terrorist group takes power. How is that the only decent thing Biden has done?

    Whether you agree or not with the invasion 20 years ago, that is completely irrelevant now. We went in and so the responsibility to leave in orderly fashion when the country is ready to continue without western support. We have not done that, in Biden’s speech on Monday, he said the taliban was at its strongest military level since 2001. Leaving Afghanistan knowing that is a failure.

    The west had a responsibility to ensure stability in Afghanistan following our invasion, that has now failed. The soldiers who sacrificed their lives fighting there were now in vain if we just abandon it to the taliban. If anyone believes the talibans claims that they will be moderate & forgive those working with the west, they are morons. There are enough stories in the last few days of taliban going around & rounding up anyone they suspect of working with the west.

    His brain is literally just mashed potatoes at this point.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    There is no such thing as stability in Afghanistan and there probably never will be. You can reasonably blame that on the west as well, but it goes back hundreds of years.

    As much as it is horrible what is going on there, we've been there 20 years and nothing has changed. Except we've spent trillions and thousands upon thousands have died. There was never going to be any way we could have left in an orderly way and the "government" would have taken over, because frankly in huge swathes of the country they were never in charge in the first place. It's not like the Taliban have just figured out they could retake the country, they've been biding their time for years and holding off as they knew we were fucking off by a certain date. If we (and by that really the US) were still in there in full force, which hasn't been the case for years let's be honest, then the Taliban wouldn't be fucking about on the number cars or in the gym.

    You aren't even capable of asking the right questions. Just the programmed response from the mainstream media.

    NOTHING has been abandoned except all the weaponry that was deliberately left behind to facilitate this latest plot twist in the fake narrative that has surrounded Afghanistan since day one. At least have a little think to yourself about why it is the US has a habit of arming the very forces it claims to be fighting. I mean, use your brain. Just forget about the narrative for a minute, and have a think for yourself. And don't even try to put this down to incompetence because it's nowhere near the first time this has happened.

    Your response above is exactly as your enemy wants it to be. When the next war comes around, and it won't be long, you'll be there pleading with your politicians to ensure the troops stay in place for as long as possible because, you know, we wouldn't want another Vietnam. Oh sorry, meant Korea. No, fuck, meant Afghanistan. Nothing ever changes.

    Wake up now.

    Precisely.

    Omar said, way back in 2001, we'll just out-wait you, we'll be patient as your economies collapse due to the massive costs of fighting an un-winnable war. So obvious because he could probably read and probably had access to the inevitable history of Afghanistan and the fate of every single nation that ever tried to conquer that place. The perfect cash cow. 20 years x 300 million dollars a day. Nothing changed except balance sheets.
