Wish we had a strong President.

Ideally, we completely pull out ASAP and never look back but assure the new taliban leadership if anything they do negatively impacts the U.S., it’s citizens or allies we will absolutely glass the f*cking country.

Nobody is ever winning in that place, with that terrain, and against Pashtuns who grew up and live war. They live in caves and that is why they survive.

This war is not about how much bombs you drop on them, if that was the case the USSR would have won it. Instead, it just made the rebellion worse and accelerated the losses.

And no, dropping a nuke completely destroys the purpose behind conquering Afghanistan. People keep suggesting dropping nukes like this is a video game. Wtf is the point of holding on to A-Stan if it will be a radiation pit? Lol

But the work they did in the region probably helped prevent a lot of possible attacks.
Uh, the lives lost served their purpose? Srs.

As long as you aren't an absolute cuck idiot who believes the garbage reasoning like the Iraq nonsense, you realize that the lives lost were likely all accounted for.


These people don't start these conflicts thinking that no one is going to die...it's an expected outcome. Just par for the course.

Guess a bunch of high ranking al-qaeda prisoners were freed by the Taliban. Imagine they have a lot of frustration built up over being captive the past 20 years

Americans got out safely.

We gave them their opportunity. They blew it. I wish they didn't, but whatever. We needed to pull out and it was never going to be pretty. Kinda happy it happened under Biden TBH because it will be scrutinized less.

Yea it was like that until the US supplied the Taliban with weapons and tech so they could take over the country. It was America's fault to begin with and now America is supplying the Taliban again

People don't realise that Taliban is America's monster.

>Russia threatening Afghanistan and Pakistan
>Russia also selling (and is still selling) arms to India to destabalise Pakistan
>Pakistan starts churning out terrorists with America's help in order to curb Russia
>RamboIIIcredits.jpg
>Afghanistan is Russia's Vietnam
>Pakistan churns out so many terrorists that one group hits America
>Afghanistan is now America's Vietnam, except worse

This reminds me of the soviet dog bomb story. Soviet trained dogs to run at tanks to blow up the enemy tanks. When it came to the time where the dogs were used, they were released and promptly ran at soviet tanks instead.

Don't do stupid chit like destabalising other countries, you'll win the most retarded prizes. Look at South America, keeps getting played with American intelligence, and now America is torn into 2 over illegal immigrants who cross over due to all the destabalisation.

The sad thing is people are too stupid to see this.

"People seen holding on to a plane as it prepares to take off from Kabul Airport, where at least 3 people fell to their death"


@PSFAERO:
"Two desperate Afghanis wanting to leave #Afghanistan and had climbed onto wings of a USAF C-17A taking off from #Kabul airport have fallen off the plane as it took off."


@disclosetv:
NOW - U.S. Army Apache combat helicopters clearing panicking Afghan civilians from the tarmac at #Kabul airport so that a C-17 plane can take off.

What are we going to accomplish now that we couldnt accomplish in the last 20 years?


I say pull out completely, if we couldnt topple the taliban in 20 years we aint going to topple them in the next 5.
This is a much more serious threat than that. If we allow them to grow larger and larger, eventually they will start to take over more countries and then have a sizeable army to attack the allied countries with. Then we’ll have to drop nuclear bombs and have to deal with all the **** from that etc.
Remember the guy that gave up? Neither does anybody else.

The problem is they are hamstrung by political and bureaucratic red tape.

You can't win a war against a hardened indigenous population unless you are willing to take off the kid gloves and get fukking NASTY.
