Afghanistan

[SCBills]

The reports coming out of Kabul right now are terrifying given we still have people there.  
 

Looks like we may be evacuating under fire.

Sorry but wrong.  You negotiate where you can, but you cannot negotiate with irrational people who are out to destroy you.  Trump supposedly cut a deal with the Taliban and they laugh at it now as they take over Afghanistan and slaughter people.  You live in a Pollyanna fantasy world.  

Ideally yes.  But when you are a superpower you have to be willing to use that power.

Who said anything about negotiating? Let them run their country and bargain for the heroin later. That’s all we want.

If you think the poppies have nothing to do with this you’re even more incredibly blind than previously thought.

Trump never did poop,

This dirt hole, like all the mid east dirt holes cannot be changed from the outside. This is religion and power, vs death.

Not true about the oil. If the US needs oil, they can get more of it from Canada. What they don't want is to give it to someone else.

This fight us about keeping military contractors rich and developing weapons

From the Taliban perspective it is largely about oil. 

 

From the US perspective it is about selling weapons, drugs, and oil. Not necessarily on that order

Biden Admin Instructs Kabul Embassy To Destroy American Flags As It Braces For Global Embarrassment.

 

Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration has reportedly instructed embassy staff in Kabul to destroy American flags to minimize the embarrassment the administration will face through propaganda produced by the Taliban as the extremist group has rapidly seized large swaths of the country.

 

“Facilities will provide destruction support between 0830 and 1600 daily until further notice,” an internal memo stated, according to The Washington Post. “Please take advantage and reduce the amount of sensitive material on the property.”

 

The memo added in bold font, “Please also include items embassy or agency logos, American flags, or items which could be misused in propaganda efforts.”

Year by year from 2001 on: no major buildings in the US were blown up by the Taliban or terrorist groups based in Afghanistan.

 

Show me evidence of your heroin nonsense or pipe down.

The taliban didn’t do 9/11. 
 

and where the hell do you think the taliban gets their money from? Literally just Google some of the states objectives in Afghanistan and opium/poppy/heroin will pop up.

That’s the Tailban to fund their desire for world domination.  You were inferring the US stayed there to somehow support heroin production.

Not support, since obviously we didn’t want the taliban raking in 9 figures a year on it, but control. 
 

You’re very rah-rah about the US military and their capabilities so let’s look at it this way: if the objective was to eliminate the heroin trade in Afghanistan and cripple the taliban monetarily we could have vaporized every poppy field in the country in a matter of hours. 
 

Instead we have pictures of soldiers walking through pretty flowers and videos of the USAF vaporizing mud huts with no production capabilities 500 feet from said fields. Why?

[B-Man]

 

I’m not against ending the Afghan War, which wasn’t doing anything constructive.

 

But the Biden Bugout has been . . . well, it’s been handled about as well as anything else in this dreadful administration, which is to say dreadfully.

Good question.  We should have.
