Complete and utter failure. Us to understand they don’t fucking care about their own sovereignty; and them for having zero desire to govern

We wasted thousands of lives without a plan and trillions to train and build people who had no intention of fighting for themselves.

- The only way to win Afghanistan is nuke it, level the mountains and start fresh. - Will Hunting Aug 15, 07:04 10
  - No. They just can’t fight back without our help. We’re abandoning them to the worst of the worst because it’s easier. -- nm - mafic Aug 15, 07:10 9
    - They can't fight back with the help, either. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 15, 07:12 8
      - Sure, but we fucked the country up, it’s up to us to fix it. -- nm - mafic Aug 15, 07:14 7
        
        There doesn't seem to be a possible fix, and it's no more fucked up than it was 25 years ago. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 15, 07:16 6
        
        The country’s been at war continuously for more than 40 years, what do we expect them to do? - mafic Aug 15, 07:25 5
        
        That they didn't bother to offer even token resistance when their capital was threatened tells you all you need to know about their desire to - Will Hunting Aug 15, 08:45 1
        
        Then don’t go in in the first place. You’re gonna fuck the country up, then fix it. - mafic Aug 15, 09:04
        
        There never was a real opportunity for a lasting peace here. We can't will it, or force the issue. 20 years is enough. -- nm - Diva Aug 15, 08:16 2
        
        We’re condemning millions of people to live under the Taliban. - mafic Aug 15, 09:12 1
        
        The people there. Won't. Help. Themselves. -- nm - Diva Aug 15, 13:28
