Are you implying that the US has rights over Afghanistan?
- slumdev 5y agoIt did until a few days ago.
- jdavis703 5y agoAt least legally, the US had no “rights” over Afghanistan. Afghanistan was not a colony, territory or state of the US. The government was “free” to kick out the US whenever they wanted.
- hhsbz 5y agoThe president was a US-educated pawn. No chance he would've kicked out the US, which is why the US put him there.
- junon 5y agoThat didn't afford the US any right to annexation.
- slumdev 5y agoI agree 100% in principle. In practice, US foreign policy doesn't recognize international law and never really has. The US could annex Afghanistan, and apart from the CCP doing a lot of complaining about it (primarily because they want access to Afghanistan's mineral wealth), nothing would happen.
- Trias11 5y agoNo just implying that importing 20000 foreigners from totally different culture into US is not a good idea
- Bayart 5y agoThat's a drop in the bucket for a country that's already full of people from all over the world and constantly bragging about its diversity (despite looking very monocultural from the outside looking in).
