The Afghan people WANT The Taliban in control? What does The Taliban have that makes them the best type of government for the people of Afghanistan?
They're not American. Bonus points: They're not 'Muslim'.
Ignore all of the Pro-American propaganda that has infected the airways and (recently) the internet, most of the world fucking hates America. You're also doing a pretty good job of pissing the UK and Europe off more than you have for a long time. though the blame lands on Biden and Obama for that. Trump was disliked as a person, but his quality and skills on the international stage was second-to-none.
The majority of the world sees America as a fat, loud-mouthed busy-body who sticks her nose in to areas they aren't welcome or wanted, fuck things up for everyone, then run off to leave others to clean up the mess. In this case, we compare that view to that of the taliban; A group of Muslim warriors who aren't as mental as ISIS, but who will push for Islamic ideology.
Even in your own country, who would you want to govern you? A group of people who are foreign in their ideology and beliefs, who hold nothing but contempt for their own people, willing to use whatever tactics necessay 'within the law' to restrict and curtail your freedoms, while following none of your or their laws themselves and allowing foreign interference, OR a group that is mostly aligned with your beliefs, ideologies and will protect your borders from outside interference?
America needs to split in two, and has needed to for 100 years. Half of you guys are salt of the earth, sound as a pound, chill people. The other half is, and i mean this with no drama or exaggeration, one of the worst groups of people and societies to have ever existed.
Why exactly hasn't anyone just carpet bombed all of Afghanistan yet? I know that sounds like a retarded question but I'm honestly curious. What does the country provide that is of any worth outside of minerals and a possible trade route. Why deploy troops instead of just bombing wells and sources of water and letting them all die of dehydration. So many countries wouldn't have lost thousands of men to the shitty sandbox if they had just been willing to stop being pussies.
America, like the Soviet Union, was ham-strung from going postal on the entire country for different reasons and both were right for not doing so.
You were not in Afghanistan to occupy the place or bomb the shit out of the country. Look at the blow back from napalm and agent orange in Nam. Imagine going total war on a mid-east country? You would be ripped to shreds on the world-stage, let alone how the mid-east could leverage that in more ways than terrorist attacks.
China, on the other hand, can largely do what they want, thanks to the yanks. So China could carpet bomb the country in anger, but their approach will be a little different to anyone elses and i think they will 'conquer' afghanistan without using an army or force.
The pen is mightier than the sword, will be Chinas MO IMO
