This whole thing is really turning me off the "America First" mentality. Because I'm born in America and other people are born overseas is not a reason to let forced marriages, honor killings, child abuse and outright murder occur if we have to power to stop it, that's just cowardice. F*** that. If we have the power to stop this we should.
so what would you prefer being done. and whatever it is shouldn't just be the US doing the majority of it
America is the cause of all suffering
not if you live in the balkans, ukraine, or sub saharan africa

wym it literally is ?
They clearly dont care about their lives since they dont resist
bruh you seing this from a western eye. i'm assuming american. you got guys that are bombing villages, beheading people carrying guns casually what are they supposed to do when this has been what they are used to for years. some their whole lives.
like even here in america, people protest and still get beating up by the people supposedly there to protect them. what you think is gonna happen over there
He contributed to the 20 years of f***ups. Im not even talking about the taliban takeover when i place blame. I'm talking about the U.S. looking like losers here
You realize any president that would have the balls to step up to the MIC and pull out would look bad like this. This was going to happen no matter what. Biden is the one who took the bullet. That should be recognized and I didn’t even vote for the guy.

Nothing you said is relevant to anything I said at all

you said they don't care bout their lives because they don't resist. and I said how would they when the people they would be resisting would just kill them

Trump did more to curb the MIC than Biden. Biden just followed the trump timeline but this isnt the point at all.
Biden literally had no exit strategy, didn't warn the government in afghanistan about withdrawing, didn't inform the taliban, made no steps to safely remove diplomats, the military, personnel that assisted us, and everything else to make the process a swift withdrawl, lied to the American public, and didn't even listen to briefings. Nixon withdrew troops from Vietnam. He got flack for that. Doesn't change the fact that the process was swift and we didn't look like idiots withdrawing the way we do now. You are either missing the point or not accurately reading what I am saying.
Im not saying Biden deserves blame for the Taliban takeover for the 100th time. I knew this was inevitable for like 15 years. I am saying he deserves blame for making us look bad in how he left and how this sets a bad precedent moving forward which hinders the work done to end the cycle of endless war. If you have a problem with my criticism, I can't help you.
wym it literally is ?
balkans was yugoslavia, ukraine is cause russia decided to invade them, and sub saharan africa is from europe
Afghans / women / elders been dying at the hands of rogue US soldiers but we only care when Taliban / foreign looking people do it?
actually it was

It wasn't. Some of yall follow twitter takes for your political framework and are incapable of accurate assessments.
balkans was yugoslavia, ukraine is cause russia decided to invade them, and sub saharan africa is from europe
US does a lot more in the current century ... economically and militarily
but yeah Europe the birthplace of godforsaken US so no surprises there...
you said they don't care bout their lives because they don't resist. and I said how would they when the people they would be resisting would just kill them
In order to be free you have to fight. They don't care even after being trained and coddled for quite some time. Saying they would be killed is a dumb excuse. That didnt stop Harriet Tubman from trying to free the slaves.

look at this moronic statement
Native Americans should have fought harder... enslaved africans should have fought harder... what, do you hear yourself bro?
no bro Muricans should keep their lawless hands off other peoples lands and autonomy...
avenging innocent Afghanis with a 20 year war to make up for 9/11 sounds normal and ok to you?
Change OP @mods
The fact that the Taliban took over in almost 24 hours after leaving means Biden was right to leave.
When the Afghan army itself can't provide any resistance and they're just syphoning money/weapons/vehicles to the Taliban to protects themselves, what else can be done?
Grim situation but I hope it works out for them.
