but Osama was in Pakistan
And we won't start about the disgusting Vaccine campaigns they did in Pakistan...
The justification for afghanistan already existed, it was to locate Osama bin laden who was being sheltered by the Taliban. The war was not justified by democeacy because the american public already wanted bin laden brought to justice
It's the failure to prioritise nation building that prevented a victory.
Who do you think propped up Osama Bin Laden in the first place?

It wouldn’t be the C*A, would it?

The CIA paid the mujahideen about 10% of their funding when they fought the Soviets yes. The mujahideen and Taliban are not the same at all
But that doesnt mean he should be able to get away with it
We should have committed more energy and priority to afghanistan.
Half assing it is what caused failure
US involvement in afghanistan has been worthless since the beginning
US actually thought a Islamic Fundamentalist country would take their culture
A vast majority of Afghanistan’s population is not any more fundamentalist than any other Muslim country

Firstly, CIA funds both parties at war. It's naive to think they don't play both sides, cause that's what intelligence services do.
Secondly, war in middle east hasn't been a failure! The lobbyists who run USA have been very successful at fattening their pockets.
the fact he’s keeping people stuck in the middle east any longer than they should be to wait for a specific day just to make a statement
lmao imperialist self proclaimed soc dem making an ass of himself itt
It's pretty civil in here lol

Well, with as much money and effort put into it, despite being a failure for years, it's pretty clear there was never any intention to fix things
I dont care what your opinion of western intervention is, this dismissive response to the rights of women is so vacuous and cynical I wont regale it with a rebuttal
lol you liberals man
Well, with as much money and effort put into it, despite being a failure for years, it's pretty clear there was never any intention to fix things
How is it a failure then if the intention was never to fix it? It's a win not a failure because people who started it made some serious money by using americans tax payers money to cause conflict in mid east so they can sell arms and steal oil.

I agree, they didnt care enough to make a success of it

It's a failure in the context of what people thought it was...
didnt realize displacing and killing millions is protecting womens rights
It's not a CIA talking point to say Taliban controlled afghanistan was one of the, if not the worst place to be a woman at the time
I didn't say it excuses intervention, I just said they had a terrible deal.

It's a failure for people. Education system is all wrong. They should teach this s*** in school. People buy into anything these days.
This guy refusing to respond to me other than being indirectly snarky and disingenuous is the same tactic Putin uses dealing with Navalny
It's a put up or shut up situation.
Meanwhile the US is expanding is presence elsewhere, just announced that 500 new troops coming to Germany
