Gonna just make this for all the updates on wars in the Middle East.
I don't know most of the people tweeting so if one of these people are scumbags or something, I don't cosign any of their political positions. Just updates on what's going on.
USA loves setting up "Islamic Republics" in rinse and repeat fashion. With idiots in charge it is easier to steal.

i can guarantee 99% of people have no idea what the afghan taliban actually is and also dont know the pakistani taliban (TTP) is a separate entity from the afghan one. most commentary on this entire situation has been completely braindead
After making his remarks, the president fielded this question: "Mr. President, some Vietnamese veterans see echoes of their experience in this withdrawal in Afghanistan. Do you see any parallels between this withdrawal and what happened in Vietnam?"
"None whatsoever," Biden replied. "Zero. What you had is you had entire brigades breaking through the gates of our embassy — six, if I’m not mistaken. The Taliban is not the South — the North Vietnamese army. They’re not — they’re not remotely comparable in terms of capability. There’s going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy in the — of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable."
Imagine wanting to be the worlds policeman
All this faux outrage of afghanistan is hillarious propaganda promoted by pissed off cia contractors. Country was destroyed long before the troops were pulled out

Hopefully we stay out.
All I know is this, I commission next year as an army officer and I’ll be f***in pissed if we are fighting the same war 22 years later when this was projected to be a peace time army for at least the next 8 years.
My Job isn’t going to be combat related but still I don’t want to be f***ing deploying there. I say let it lie and just take the L. Too much time, resources, and lives have been lost for what? Let it go.
I also do know this; a lot of guys I know who’ve been over there are upset about what’s happening right now and rightfully so.

I mean objectively the Taliban takeover is a tragedy, especially for civilians in Kabul who the Taliban may slaughter for dissent or “degeneracy”.
The people have to make their own decision this time though
did biden do something to cause this
Nah this was gonna happen regardless
Bozos ain't taking over s***
Human rights too prevalent otherwise country would've been turned into sea

I'm not here to defend the Afghan Taliban, there are tons of legitimate criticisms to leverage of course (they are a fundamentalist islamic party after all), but the criticisms have to actually be legitimate; many takes on them have literally just been false Neocon propaganda/fearmongering. Ive seen whole editorials and discussions about how this is equivalent to ISIS getting a state and how it endangers the international community for example and just none of that is true. There is a reason the Taliban declared it an Emirate and not a Caliphate.
Basically the tl;dr rundown of things w/o a wall of text is that yes but most modern standards the Taliban is questionable in domestic social policies but outside of that they are not just a ragtag rogue terrorist group who wants to kill everyone else through terrorism and establish a global caliphate, and anyone saying that is uninformed and lying

Taliban, A l Qaeda, Hizbullah, ISIS = Qubtism
I guess they are good to a islamist who wants a system of government wherein the Islamic clergy have the ultimate say in the military, judicial, legislative, and executive branches of government.
You tell me, would it be good if a cardinal or some grand priest ruled over indefinitely over a country?

The Taliban is bad. The issue is that we have been 40+ years in the middle east and haven't solved s***.
