    Sorry Afghan woman, Americans don’t give a shit about you unless the news tells them to. The murderous Americans are busy moralizing about someone else right now.

      What’s your geopolitical cure for this? What foreign/military policy change from the U.S. government would sit well with you regarding this issue? I’m interested to hear it.

      Should the US invade Afghanistan again?

      Because as an American, I care very much, but I’m reluctant to go over to Afghanistan and fight an armed insurgency against the Taliban without an imminent NATO re-invasion planned after what will likely have to be months of guerrilla warfare to free the women of Afghanistan.

      Oh wait, I remember now, “Americans dumb, ha ha.”

      Are you suggesting that a new coalition goes back to Afghanistan to throw out the Taliban again? Remember how popular that was last time?

          I didn’t say that. I’m pointing out that we spent shitloads of money that could have gone to out own schools and healthcare, and a dozens of young soldiers lives (I’m not American), and we were clearly told by both the local population and a bunch of other countries to fuck off.

          So yes. I’ll say it. Fuck em. We don’t owe them shit. We came down there, suppressed the Taliban, built s schools and hospitals, and secured elections, and when we left, the Afghan army, which we had trained and supplied, folded immediately.

          We can’t be held responsible for them not revolting against a suppressive regime. We gave them all the tools to keep the taliban out, but they chose to fold. That’s on them.

          It’s tragic, but that’s how it is. If they’re not willing to fight for their own rights, they won’t get to enjoy them.
