Afghan War: News & Update Mega Thread

. . . . .
The US is an imperial power. There was no benevolence in their ventures in Afghanistan, Iraq or elsewhere. It was strictly a business move, made after 9/11. The hunt for OBL could've ended in a year yet they dragged their heels and got sucked into the vortex.

How was investing in the ANA not an informed business choice? They raised the army and trained them. It's their offspring.

some Think it was more than that, even amongst right wing westerners, they think this is the motivation:

Seriously how is this victory of Taliban over US?

You are right, USA has won and the Taliban are escaping Afghanistan in helicopters. Just wondering... aren't you from a beloved country of the planet called India?
The mission was eliminating Osama and Al-Quaeda. I don't remember eliminating the Taliban as a requirement.

You are so right. America never said it will remove the Taliban regime, and for 21 years, American invested in building Taliban paying tax money of its people, and with its sweat, blood and souls. Today you've ready to ripe the fruit. Today your backed militia has made all Americans Proud!

The world is clapping for youcountry. Today your flag is held up high!

@Windjammer it is very much being seen in this light and especially by the veterans who see their entire efforts essentially wasted.
Americans moan and groan for their dead soldiers but never for millions killed by them in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan.

. It's unfortunate that Afghans lost to terrorists.

@The Eagle @waz


this indian is going against the state dept narrative by calling indigenous resistance movement like taliban terrorists. No idea who they think they gonna scare using 21 years Hollywood terminologies or who are they selling it to when all regional countries bordering Afghanistan seems pretty comfortable with the new afghan outcome.


May be the paranoia stems from the fear of retribution at the hands of afghan people for what indian agencies been doing there since the last two decades. Anyhow india is fast becoming what it accuses north Korea of . Perhaps it's necessary for the brahmans to keep the indian masses deluded ---------

Do not forget Soviet and China trained Iraq. Re: Desert Storm.
As far i remember they provide old weapons that Saddam could afford but never training, In fact because Saddam purged the military after the Iranian war debacle most iraqui troops and commanders didn't have much training at all.

When was it the American mission to kill off Taliban? It could easily do so.

America gave 20 years and a trillion for Afghans to grow up and achieve a sense of democracy and rule of law. It's the Afghans that failed not America IMO.

If you believe that, you're delusional.

US killed millions of afgan civilians and looted the country. Nobody will ever make them responsible for those atrocities. So, if winning means US didn't drop another 1000 tons of ammunition and annihilate whatever is left of those civilians in afganistan, i am sure everyone will be happy. at most us will suffer from some funny memes in Twitter.
