Yeah, bad Afghan people didn't want to fight for a pro-American regime that supported brutal warlords and child prostitution (literally the first populist thing Taliban did was to crack down on bacha bazi - imagine being worse than Taliban). What a propaganda troll rhetorics.
Sorry to break it to you, but what had happened was exactly Afghan idea of freedom. A freedom from a puppet regime installed by invaders. It's not a healthy one, but there is nothing healthy to be expected after 20 years of being fucked by invaders "for their own good" under fancy fake slogans of "freedom".
But hey, war is peace, freedom is being a neocolony with a puppet government. Nothing new here.
> it would be better indeed to put these resources into Ukrainians
And those resources would be a shit load of NATO weaponry left to Taliban, eh?

- riku_iki 4y agowhat is your goal in this discussion? What are you trying to achieve by personal attacks and low quality inputs? Just trying to vent?
- random314 4y agoYou are using whataboutism, personal attacks and ignorance as a debating tactic - including quoting the CIAs words to exonerate the CIA. Its as if USA did not overthrow democracy to install the Shah of Iran. It's as if US government did not democratically elected Allende in Haiti. It's as if CIA backed banana republics don't exist in Latin America. It's as if USA did not send ships to the Indian ocean to assist west Pakistan with the genocide in Bangladesh to overturn the election results. You are calling historical facts "fantasies" and making personal attacks on everything else. It's your commitment to ignorance even when all the information is shoved in your face that is impressive, much more than the whataboutism.
- riku_iki 4y agoI in good faith checked your example with Chile, found that you didn't read link you posted, you compromised yourself and don't deserve any level of trust anymore nor any effort to check your other pointers. Again, what are you trying to achieve from this discussion?
