I’m not arguing that but you have to believe that enemies of the US will exploit the suffering over there.
With Brandon in office and his merry band of idiots in charge, we have more important things to worry about than bad PR. We pulled out because that was the agreement. We left military equipment there. The Afghans harbored those terrorists for two decades apparently and we weren't invested then.
There's no where this conversation goes that isn't a justification for going back in and dumping billions more on a group of people who clearly don't want our help.
It's their country. Let them deal with it. Time to spread your wings, little Afghanis. Sovereignty used to mean something.

That sounds terrible. Maybe next time a republican is elected president you can get him to take over that country and make the feeding of Afghan children your top priority. They are always so grateful for outside help

I think the people in charge of their nation, their own parents are responsible, not us. This compassionate conservatism crap nearly sunk our country and is just an excuse for imposing leftist polices on the entire world.

It’s one thing to say this is out of our control. It’s another to say millions of kids deserve to starve to death. LSU7096 is evil.

I’m not remotely interested in going back in there militarily. Send the UN. That’s what they’re supposed to be for. Get the food programmes running and try not to rape and children while the blue hats are there. If the US pulling out results in a famine with a million dead, most of which will be young children and we choose to do nothing we deserve more than bad PR. We are supposed to be better than that. We can supply food, water and medicine at the least.

The very founding of our nation was based on the idea that people get to choose the government they want. The Afghanis chose poorly and must accept the consequences of their selection. That's not evil. It's cause and effect. The alternative is decades of subjugation under foreign rule, which brought us to this point.

They’re not a fricking democracy, dude. No they did not choose this anymore than the average Chinese person chose communism.

We are the U.N. I thought Trump demonstrated that fairly plainly. At least when it comes time to pay the bill.

Just the fact that you have to say this shows why it's such a poor solution.

So you're saying they didn't resist U.S. intervention or harbor terrorists or do one of a million other things that brought them to this point, huh?

First, frick Bush and his ilk, there is no love lost for that fricking family on this board. Second, you realize that Congress approved military action right? Clinton and Biden both gave Bush authorization so you kinda have to give them blame as well. Barry wasn't in the Senate yet, but he just droned the shite out of Afghan Civilians.

I’m saying their general population, especially the women, didn’t approve. And don’t come to me on a high horse when most our country is too cowardly for standing up for something as small as a mask.

What exactly would you propose to do with that nation facing a famine and with Western economic sanctions in place? It certainly sounds like you’d walk away and whatever happens happens.

In one sense I agree with you. We don’t need to occupy or run their country. I know this firsthand from my time there.
In another sense, if we would move on from Covid, get back to normal life, ramp back up our productivity, then the global food supply and general supply chain would greatly improve their conditions.

Yes. I'm for Trump and his policy of America First. This is what he pushed. This is what the Democrat president wants. Seems like everyone except the glowies and neocon cucks would be in alignment.

So your point is the foreigners harboring terrorists deserve more credit than your own countrymen who a significant percentage have pushed back against the government's fascist behavior in the past couple years.

I loved Trump’s foreign policy. But I don’t think it should be used for cover to allow a famine to occur. Again, we don’t have to become an occupying force. We can supply food, water, shelter and medicine if we choose to. The UN could (I am not a fan of the UN as a general rule) be a force for good here,
