Afghan War: News & Update Mega Thread

[Pappa Alpha]

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.

You will have better luck by arguing with pile of manure.

This dumb nation-building notion should be left to the UN. As soon as Al-Quaeda became a non-issue we should have left. The Taliban wasn't even on the list.

I couldn't agree more, America shouldn't be there for nation built as its not possible, America might have better chance with a country from Europe for nation building but Afghanistan, its impossible even for Countries like KSA , Pakistan or Iran which has more similarities from culture to religion. But hey, at least the troops are now out, no more tax payers money goes in, America can easily work with Allies to keep a balance in Afghanistan.

This is what China suggests US do for decades, US just doesn't listen and insists on learning the lesson the hard way.

Pakistan before China was telling US the same thing, I think US super Power Ego was in the way to withdraw, or maybe there were some other under the table Missions which Americans wants done before finally withdrawing its forces. Allah knows best, but at least they are now going back and bringing the troops back, now its time for Afghan's to decide what to do with their country.

The evil occupational forces and their pets defeated politically, militarily. Time proved it. Definitely who were defeated and their pets are in pain and agony.
The big mouths of the past became the big farts of the present and still insisting and arguing. Shameless ...!

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.

When he said It is show his belive in devine power. You indian non believer will never understand. I give you reference to understand this.In history there were 300 against thousand conquest of holy city of Makkha then There were 20 thousand against 200k alp Arslan again great roman empair then 10 thousands against 100k conquest of spain. Then muhmmad bin Qasim conquest of Sindh subcontinent with small numbers. If you still dont see the humiliation India and usa has faced after this defeat. As student of history I must say it will be remembered for centuries to come. Their limitless believe in God defeated three history's best supper powers soviet usa nato in last 40 years. They used politics. First they used usa against soviet then they used Russia to defeat usa.. you think they are villagers with slippers with ak 47..they are smart

LOL.. Shift goalpost so fast!

I don't remember the Taliban being mentioned in the 9/11 attacks. I only remember them not handing over Osama.

Taliban supported Al Qaeda. They host Osama Bin Laden and refuse to hand him to US. And now suddenly you claim Taliban isn't on the list just to save face?

 

[Goritoes]

I remember Bush once used the word Crusade against the Terrorists ( he was talking about Muslims ) well, Mr Bush Crusades did not achieve their goal and so did you. Terminologies like these help none other than the Taliban as they saw it as a Christian forces against Islam which gains them a lot of sympathy and recruits, Bush was a dumb President only to be succeeded by a even dumber Obama.

So they are in cahoot but useless American cant do anything to caveman Taliban despite bragging to have sophisticated weapon and best train armed forces.

The Empires can ill afford the losses....

Those at the top aren't as secured as those at the bottom....

Yeah, but I don't remember Bush saying getting rid of the Taliban and doing nation-building when he announced the reasons for the Afghan invasion. I only heard attacking Al-Quaeda and any Afghan military support for them.

Scope creep.

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

Yet still they spent money to provide freedom to Afghans. It is for Afghans to safeguard that freedom. However they lost. I don't see how this is loss for America. It's not like Americans lost their freedom.

The problem is like when Germany installed the Vichy government in France during WW2. It doesn't matter how supposedly good it is if the people don''t like it then it isn't going to last. You can't line all the people up infront of a firing squad who don't like it. Let the UN deal with nation-building..

Seriously how is this victory of Taliban over US?

Seriously i doubt your health is not 100% ...at least read you post twice before posting

TALIBAN Captured Afghanistan | 15 august 2021

 

[Trango Towers]

I'd rather have bad US image about a war which costs thousands of American lives and trillions of dollars gone to waste, US made the right decision and world can and must suck it up to it. American forces should only die for their homeland and country, not in fights of others, civil wars or opium wars , or regional conflicts.

I think its all you lying cheating deceiving Americans who got fooled by AIPAC that's you are free and forced into invading countries where you practiced rape torture rendition flights and forced UN resolutions making you whiter than white ...

Remember mullah Omars promise to your Bush that victory will be God's....where is Bush...

Shame on you...shame on the armies of the world and most of all the world laughs at your military might...ragheads win and hillbillies inbreds lose..

Have a nice day .... continue name calling ....LOSER
