Just… you know… because

Stop the name calling sock accusations back & forth, everyone.

Stick the the topic.

The big worry for me is, this will be the start of the next refugee crisis. Trust me, it's coming.

this is going to be different. Who would want to live under ISIS light? And what will a legitimised ISIS lite do with a recognised sovereign government?

The people in Afghanistan don't support the Taliban. Only the radicalized ones. Just recently female students had to burn their certificates so that they won't be shot dead fornhaving education.

So we must nuke China lol

Disagree, a large number do. Whether it's more than half I cannot say.

ok, I’m too drunk to read all that, but I’ll just say prohibition can lead to greater numbers, including unconsensual sex and female slavery as if they’re something for men to capture……..

Cost of the war will be 6.5 trillion due to debt by 2050. Bush, Obama, and the neocons long dead but they'll happily past the cost to future generations. We should've gotten out sooner.

Biden? More like, ‘bye then’

The Right is already spinning that Biden is abandoning Afghanistan to the Taliban, previously it was Biden the warmonger who wouldn't pull out. 🙂

we're supposed to forget that it was trump who ordered the withdrawal and negotiated with the taliban, leaving the afghan government out of the loop. we're also supposed to pretend that it's not precisely what the right wanted. what was supposed to happen differently? in which parallel universe do the taliban take their time strolling in, and the population is all cool with it and not terrified and under threat?
