I guess I just don’t see the point in spending billions again for a lost cause. Maybe the better idea is giving them the illusion everything is OK and let them take over the capital, then say we want to work with you, then Hiroshima their asses.

Please send some my way.
Unfortunately it really is just a no-win situation. Enough time had passed, Cold War had ended for long enough that everyone forgot the lesson of Vietnam (and also Soviet invasion of Afghanistan). And here we are now, with no realistic path forward over there aside letting the country fall back into Taliban rule. It sucks, but what else can be done over there, ya know?

The biggest victims here are the Afghan people. 10 times more so if you're female. Sad sad stuff. But when these extremist groups get a hold of a country, its doomed for generations.

Oh good I hope those Taliban never blow up somewhere in a fancy upper class Berlin neighbourhood where they raise kids to hold 'refugees welcome' signs on demonstrations

That would be horrible
What has Taliban got to do with refugees? Way to take something horrible and conflate it with something it has nothing to do with.

We get it man, you're a white German. You don't have to try to prove that at every corner.

This is bullshit. America doesnt owe the world shit. Fuck Afganistan! Fuckin barbarians!
They don't.

and honestly this is a situation where there does not seem to be any realistic solution. Taliban was there before the US invasion.

But i dont understand why people don't feel sorry for Afghans. Their lives are about to be changed for good. Taliban, ISIS and all these extremist groups are the cancer of the earth. I don't think people fully appreciate what its like living in these conditions. These people are absolute animals.

Isn't he a Slavic immigrant? LOL
Yes running away from communism. Yet he doesn't want that same opportunity extended to others. So now we have to bear with him constantly trying to remind us he's a white German that doesn't want "immigrants" coming to "his country" :p

I suppose where i am confused on this is really how does the afghan population really feel? how is it possible they have had 20 years of american support, billions in funding etc but the second the US leaves it seems like half the country falls to the taliban in a couple weeks? where are the young afghan willing to put their lives on the line for this cause? if they are there, it doesnt look like it. if they arent willing, then how can we help them and why should we be commiting so much to help them?

if they arent willing to die for the cause then the us isnt going to save them.
