Those who left and those who could not flee speak of a country in ruins and decry the world’s apathy towards the humanitarian crisis and the lack of rights, mainly for women, which a UN report describes as ‘gender apartheid’
What do they expect? Permanent US occupation? If they really expect that, then they’re going to need to make themselves a US territory or deal with themselves.
It translated pretty easily for 2 decades. Then an orange chimp decided he didn’t care just like he doesn’t care about anything his country commits to and left. Then Biden just pushed it through while the Afghanistan government was unready and countless American sympathisers and supporters still had not been extracted just because he also doesn’t give a sh*t about promises his country makes. America leaving was inevitable. The taliban retaking was almost handed to them by how America decided to withdraw.

Did they expect the USA to invade in the first place?
Yeah, that’s America’s whole thing

The organization ended up fracturing, and one of those factions went on to become a terrorist organization. Not all of them though.

Ok, they have our empathy and interest. How does that translate into meaningful physical action?

There was no way the ANA would have held on for long after the US left, held on for a little longer, maybe.
There was no way the Taliban wasn’t going to eventually win in some capacity.

What is yours? How would you have supported them without actually helping the Taliban?

I never said that. But it’s clearly not yours, so please elaborate on what yours is.

Ah, so you don’t have any actual arguments, you just want to argue.
What do you think it should look like? I’m not pleased with the situation but I don’t know what we could do differently.
