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

I’m not blaming just America for this, but America led this coalition and America killed it. That said, we all fucked up. There are ~1,000 Afghans (plus their families) that worked with the Australian military who will probably be killed now because Australia wouldn’t get off its ass to save them. This isn’t “the right time”, it's fucking shameful. We’re letting evil win.

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
