SUCCESS TO AFGHANISTAN
20 more years is whats needed right.
Before people keep blaming US. we need to question why Afgans forces didn’t fight??? Simply laid the weapon down and run.
A corrupt government that the army never believed in.
Those deals began after Trump announced a deal with them in February of 2020.
@The Homeless Travel Network Airways Thanks for admitting that Trump’s “deal” was the worst decision that a president has ever made.
@The Homeless Travel Network Airways Not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you?
More Afghan soldiers died in 1 year than Americans on the ground in 20 years. Before armchair quarterbacking perhaps think about how you’d respond when the Taliban have you surrounded tough guy.
Clearly Afgans forces are equiped much better than Taliban, with air support…yet they didn’t fight.
@Reason Nope. The real, actual number is under 100k. Don’t believe ‘official’ numbers.
@Mastodon1976: LOL! Where do you get YOUR numbers from?

@Reason Times of Israel for one. But the the info is making the rounds. The U.S has been deliberately overestimating size,ability and power for years.
@Reason A large number Afghan military collecting a soldier’s pay. Not so many actually reporting for duty. So official numbers are falsely inflated.
Even the Afghans soldiers didn’t want their gov. They practically handed over while the president fled.

Am getting sick and tired of the media and their exposure of the plight of these Afghanists America has spent 2 decades, and billions of dollars, of trying to assist these people. The chaos it’s causing, lay firmly at the feet of their Leaders !?
How can anyone help them, if they don’t have the will to do it for themselves !!?
They have used the Americans, for too long. Time to stand on their own two feet.
@Mal C 86 billion but i get your point
And no they didnt hand over the government the afghan army was simply just spent after thousands upon thousand s of casualties they just werent able to fight anymore
And part of the hornets nest is coming to the USA and other countries
I doubt Deobandi teachings of 200 years have suddenly modernized.
Hello friend how are you doing today
This isn’t really the big deal the media is making it out to be. It’s politics.
Bru
Exactly! What is a big deal is the rapid spread and death of the covid-Delta variant on WE THE PEOPLE
🦠🦠🦠🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Finally a commentator with some insight.
As if he’s believable.
He’s a government apologist choosing his words as cagily as the Taliban.
Only time will tell… and it won’t be long…
Look at how the Afghanistan Ambassador has shaved his gnarly beard to look more respectable to the West. You can’t trust them.
In the 1980s, Reagan supported the Taliban against USSR. Because Republicans think any anti-communist must be a good guy. Reagan/Bush put Taliban base camps in secure Pakistan.
Consider why the US didn’t notify its “ally” Pakistan that it was hitting Osama bin Laden (who lived within sight of Pakistan’s military academy.)
As soon as the infidel has gone there will be knocks on doors and retribution to those who helped them
Hello Stephen how are you doing today
@James Hama fine thank you
@Stephen Podeschi You are welcome hope am not bothering you over there. I’m from Los Angeles california
Do *you* believe what the Taliban says? I don’t.
I think everyone is lying about everything at this point.
That exactly western world today ya
Send Omar Samad to Afghanistan to go help fight the Taliban.
Yeah let’s listen to one of the corrup Afghan politician on what America could have done differently. Please, these people won’t fight for themselves why should I be ordered to go back for another 20 years and die?
Thousands of innocent Afgan people face a cruel execution at the hands of the Taliban and ISS because of Joe Biden’s cowardice and incompetence.
Ok but aren’t they allied with China.. you remember the #1 ally to the United States right?
