As Fears Grip Afghanistan, Hundreds of Thousands Flee

 

[Bboystyle]

Its bullshyt propaganda..

America the great pussies left, but China still has presence there!
China is the new USSR but more defiant!
USA looking crippled..

good. US has no business there to begin with. They have their own problems that need to be addressed.

Only cacs and pro war folks care about that shyt.

They can take over bc they have the most supporters and bc although fanatical, unlike the northern alliance and the other groups that held power in the time after the sockets left, the Taliban weren't personally corrupt and they managed to end years of civil war.

That seems hard to believe and doesn't jibe with other shyt I've heard. Maybe they're not "as corrupt" or their corruption isn't as organized? Claiming the Taliban isn't corrupt sounds like a stretch.

The States spent all that time there and couldn’t even provide a proper stable government before leaving

We had our 25-year fukk up in Vietnam and it only took us....26 years to start two new ones. Now that we had another 20-year fukk up, does this mean we'll at least wait 20 years before the next fruitless death occupation?

Like I said, calling them "less corrupt" could be fair. (I don't know enough to know either way.) Just seemed like a stretch to claim that they weren't corrupt at all.

So looks like Kandahar and Herat both collapsed today

At this rate they’re about to control more territory than they did before 2001.

 

[Techniec]

After two decades the farce that is the war in Afghanistan is finally at it's pitiful end

 

[ZoeGod]

All the billions we spent on the Afghan armed forces since 2001 and they fold like a tent to the Taliban. Biden did the right thing.
