Cold day in hell but I agree with Cenk Uygur:

If you can't stand up a local army that can defend itself after trying to prepare that army for 20 years, then you might suck at your job. The real takeaway from the collapse of Afghanistan was that US military was doing NOTHING there for two decades other than wasting our money.

Anything happens to the people, unleash hell. No rules, no damns given..the entire region gone in less than a day.

Rest of the world has anything to say, give them the same. Everyone else shuts the frick up and we have peace for at least 25 years

Fine. It's a proposal at least. Not just an "I told you so" or "It was his fault".

Not from me. This situation alone is why Gitmo was an abomination. You radicalize people against us even more, especially folks who are just on the periphery of groups like the Taliban and who are aligned with them simply because of the social safety net they provide.

Cenk's not wrong, but let's be honest: He's not mad about what's happening in Afghanistan. He's made his people didn't get the same amount of taxpayer graft.

I respect that more than you can know. But it doesn't make you immune from making #whatabouts that have nothing to do with the topic at hand, which was my only point.


You keep repeating this as if anyone gives a shite.

The fricking “president” of the United States hasnt said a word about this, and the “vice president”’s most recent public communication was about the necessity of broadband Internet.

Meanwhile you’re sitting here on a message board chastising people for criticizing the absolutely incompetent and unqualified figureheads in those and other decision making positions, who are only in those positions because of fricking morons like you that voted for them.

Go ahead and make this whatabout#99

I’m so tired of people just straight up lying and the shite getting spread all over the place. No one even attempts a search to verify if something is correct.

whataboutism ("They did it before too!") is the argument tactic de jour for people who can’t make a better point, usually occurring on the more emotional end of both sides of the political spectrum, popular among Karens, Never-Trumpers, and Trumpers.

Not even close. We should have never stopped at the 38th parallel in Korea. Should have gone ahead and pushed north, pushed the Chinese out of Korea and went ahead and nipped the CCP in the bud before it ever got started. We had nukes at the time and could have bluffed them all the way to surrender. Without the Chinese there is no Afghanistan.
