i'm not quite sure what people were expecting regarding afghanistan. we've been there for 20 fucking years with very little to show for it. if 20 years worth of training by the american military couldn't make the afghani military actually competent, nothing will.
besides, they didn't fucking want us there in the first place. why should they fight for a government they never even supported?
"but the civilians, the women, the children!" well, first, we had no right being there. as nice as it sounds to spread democracy and the american way, it wasn't our fucking place. besides, it seemed inevitable that things would go back to business as usual after the US left. all that can be done is to take in refugees who are at risk of being killed by the taliban.
inb4 but the refugees will be taliban in disguise. the united states is actually allowed to be picky with who we take in because, well, we are separated by an ocean. we're lucky in that regard, although it is kind of bullshit that the US, who started this mess, gets to be picky while everyone else has to just take whoever ends up at their border.
i also like how the plan to pull out from afghanistan was trump's but biden ended up being the fall guy. just another liberal president cleaning up the shitstains left on the floor by conservatives.
