It's been a good 20 years with relatively little international terror emanating from Afghanistan. Is that wiped out because the west decided to stop spending so much money (and lives) doing this?
Provincial capital in Afghanistan falls to the Taliban
- Thread starter mandrill
- Start date
And ISIS was almost completely squelched. And international terrorism by these groups has been minimized.
So you think the taliban are good? I suppose you don’t think women should have any rights shouldn’t be allowed to go to school or do anything without a man’s permission too? we went in Afghanistan destroyTerrorists“Speaking to the PA news agency, Graham Knight, 69, father of 25-year-old RAF Sergeant Ben Knight who was killed when his Nimrod aircraft exploded in Afghanistan in 2006, said the British government should have moved more quickly to get civilians out.
He said:

You have it ass backwards. The Taliban would not have killed any Americans and Canadians, if they had been left in peace.
Sorry, but you're just wrong. Fundamentalist zealots never leave the rest of us alone. Not in the history of the planet. International terrorism emanating from training bases in Afghanistan preceded occupation of the country.

Most of Al Quada's training camps were in Pakistan.
No Afghans took part in 9/11, the Taliban not even remotely responsible.
This is what the war is really all about

You are so right. What does this father who lost his son know compared to you!!! It boggles the mind. The father is a terrorist supporter!
A little reminder... Afghanistan has been a complicated place for a long time.
The rapid fall of Afghanistan to Taliban forces, explained
A groundswell offensive by the Taliban over the last month has reached Kabul, marking the militant group’s full takeover of Afghanistan.
Didn’t we call contractors “mercenaries” in the good old days?
Its much worse then that!! If there was another terrorist strike from Al Quede based in Afganistan, what do you think the USA is gonna do about it. Invade again? Now they have BILLIONS in arms and money thanks to the USA They will probably get more $$ as they sell hostages back to the USA. I predict that Afghanistan will become the testing grounds for autonomous hunter/killer drones. from the US. I would not at all be surprised if every asset they left there is also tagged in some way electronically to make it easy to target. But then again they seem so dumb it is possible they have no plan whatsoever.
The father has no more experience than any of us who were not in Afghanistan just because you had a family member killed there does not make you an expert
There’s no shortage of small arms in Afghanistan even before the US small arms will not change anything over there, yes they captured some vehicles and aircraft that they won’t be able To maintain and will quickly become useless and there’s also a very good chance drone and cruise missile strikes will take out any aircraft or vehicles the US don’t want them to have
