    Not to be a dick but if they don’t like it they could do something about it themselves. Hoping that “the world will do something” rarely has good results.

      Yeah haven’t they been at war or occupied for like 200 years? The withdrawal was a clusterfuck but it was never not going to be one. Idk what the rest of the world can do at this point. I read China wants to tap into those sweet lithium mines. Let them give it a shot I guess?

          Putting aside the humanitarian aspect and destabilizing the region etc etc I agree it would be an entertaining show. From what I’ve heard maybe we won’t have to wait very long.

        The Taliban are not the Nazis, not even close. They’re a guerilla group, and not a particularly effective one. They lost almost all engagements with the US and allied armies. They were mainly good at running away and doing drugs in the mountains.

        The problem is, the people of Afghanistan do not have the ability or desire to be a unified country right now, so there is no one to oppose them. The Yugoslav Partizans (who did fight the Nazis) would have beat their brains in. The IRA would have easily beaten them. There are even modern day rebel groups who would beat them.

          The opposition was mostly murdered by the Taliban before and after the fall. The military aid we gave the Afghans was also entirely fake and we allowed it be stolen.

          But then people in this thread have the arrogance to come in here and go on rants about how it’s all the Afghans’ fault when we literally occupied their country for 20 fucking years and achieved nothing. The US is fully responsible for his situation.

          It’s disgusting to see Americans attack Afghans in this thread because they’re butthurt that a woman said Afghans were forgotten, which they absolutely were. No wonder so many people in the world hate us.

            Do you… think it’s good that Europe has some of the craziest guerilla groups in history? Like do you think that’s something to brag about? Ok…

            Nigeria still has Boko Haram, which was the deadliest group in the 2010s:

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boko_Haram

            In DRC, there were militias responsible for multiple civil wars in the 90s and 2000s. Latin America has had a ton of rebel groups (both left and right wing) too.

            Are you happy now?

            The overwhelmingly left leaning reddit, which practically never had any even right leaning headline upvoted to /r/all (besides The Donald, when it existed) are mostly Nazis…

            If r/politics are Nazis, then Mao must be a centrist by your standards. Just how deluded are you?
