The new and improved Taliban: The parting US gift to Afghanistan
After promising democracy and delivering mayhem, the US leaves behind unshaven ‘Proud Boys’ to rule over Afghans.
What did Afghanistan itself achieve under US occupation? A comprador class of political elite totally alienated from its own people, beholden to the false promises of the US military and political hegemony. Afghans are now back to their own devices. Whatever happens to them is better than the indignity of 20 years of military occupation that had created a comprador class of politicians who crumbled like a hollow sandcastle as the Taliban spread its military might.
The Taliban fighters are Afghans, too. They did not come from the moon. This is their country and they are not any more fanatical and conspiracy driven than those tens of millions of Trump supporters, the QAnon believers, anti-vaxxers, Proud Boys, and the rest of them. If people are scared of Taliban leaders Haibatullah Akhunzada, Mohammad Yaqoob, Sirajuddin Haqqani, or Abdul Ghani Baradar, they have not been paying attention to Marjorie Taylor Greene, Marine Le Pen, Stephen Miller, Geert Wilders or Steve Bannon. Same level of sugar density, different bucket.
The overwhelming majority of Afghans have had no choice but to live with the Taliban. Just like Iranians, the Saudis, the Palestinians, the Syrians, the Egyptians have to deal with their criminal ruling regimes. They all deserve much better than the fate has assigned to them. Fanatical, reactionary, retrograde, or not, the Taliban is at home in the region.
What did two decades of American military occupation bring the Afghans? Peace, prosperity, democracy? Are Americans capable of any such gift to any country on this Earth – least of all “democracy”? Can the country of Donald Trump and the home of the Republican Party even fathom to procure democracy for their own country, let alone gift it to another?
As soon as the US census data came out and racist white Republicans realised their numbers are thinning they launched a systematic attack redistricting the country in a way that dismantles even a pretence of democracy.
Afghanistan is the land that gave the world Rumi, the Herat school of art and architecture, countless other poets, philosophers, mystics, historians and scientists. It can handle a gang of “Proud Boys” in Pashtun gear too.
LOL Frankfooter, Danmand loves them

Funny how that's not what the poll says.
But hey, its not like reality can ever get in the way of extreme right wingers thoughts.
"instead deferring further screening to a safe third country."
Where is this "safe third country"? Is it Kuwait, Australia, New Zealand, etc.?

They performed a number of very nasty massacres however. On one occasion, many, many women and children were packed into a metal goods container with no water and roasted in 40 degree desert heat until all had died.
They're simply more tenacious and familiar than the outside competition.
It's hard to say how much of the people's support the Taliban really has. If you have a gun at your head, you will support almost anything.
Keep defending the Taliban terrorist Frankie where are your stats? Back up your claim
I want to see the numbers since you’re claiming the Americans killed more I want to see the numbers of Afghanis killed by the Taliban versus Killed by the Americans not counting Afghani taliban Terrorists who were killed by the Americans
So far 1 out of 23 voted yes. Where's all that leftie support for terrorists that you keep talking about but NEVER reply when challenged on it?
This poll you posted just proves how clued out you are, driven by your right wing bias.
How long until you delete this thread?
