I'm sure they'll sit down for a reasonable conversation that ends with them growing as people and seeing the error in their ways.

I mean that's what happens when you completely freeze any and all assets to run a country.

They simply have no incentive to "grow and adapt".

Or maybe, that's why you don't believe barbarians when they tell you they intend to civilize. They were playing "moderates" to get the money we had given earlier, they grew impatient and did what we know they wanted to do all along.

The incentive seems pretty clear to me. Grow and adapt and get your assets unfrozen.

In other news, people should stop with the torture and raping, Putin needs to retire for medical reasons and everyone should have the right to govern their own bodies. You tell them, son! That'll learn 'em!

Also, the UK Tories are suspected by pretty much everyone to be Russian collaborators (pre-war) who just tried to cover it up after the invasion. Perhaps if we all write sternly-worded letters…

else what. Are you going to invade us again and let us move into the mountains for 20 years. Guess what, the superpowers of the world has been trying it for ages now and we are still here. Bitch.

If the Taliban were partners, then we could give them money with strings attached and make them do stuff. The threats are hollow cause they already won on the battlefield.

Give me an example of an organization more useless than the UN. I will be surprised if you can.

These idiots are surprised that the Taliban is behaving like... the Taliban? Really?

They seriously expected that an organization with a medieval mindset with its long history of treating women like cattle would behave any differently than it always has?

The Taliban view women as property, and treat them accordingly. They believe that God thinks that is okay. Tgey don't care what naive westerners think.

Didn't we invade Afghanistan? How come they didn't receive the freedom that was promised? Iraq barely made it out alive.

Turns out the leaders the US appointed, outside of Karzai and the warlords, are pretty spineless and corrupt. The Taliban basically waltzed back in and there was no resistance from the ANA

Because that's the propaganda speech you've been fed all your life.

It wasn't about "liberating" any more than it is about "liberating Ukraine", it's about war profiteering.

US Afghanistan exit meant that they had to trigger a "fresh war" to keep the military industrial complex monster up and running. Wasn't that hard to bait Russia into a war. The best part is that the us expects China to understand it's "national security interests" when they clearly never cared about the security interests of other countries.

War profiteering accusations always sounded off. Isn't it more obvious that we're just looking at empires doing what empires do?

WanderingPickles t1_j2f4q2k wrote

Ah, the ‘ol “the CIA is responsible for all bad things (except for when they are completely and invariably incompetent) and all these bad people are simply being forced into it by the military industrial complex” line combine with the “Russia is just an innocent bystander here. Putin, praise be his name, was forced into a war of aggression by the evil West and their homosexual lovers.”

Got it.

Well I can finally put that to rest. My reasoning was that life can get boring and dudes want to play with guns. I used to solely blame the MIC but then I realized that war is like an investment, with multiple desired outcomes.

Dream on. These men are the most ignorant in the world. It isn’t about fairness, it is about subjugation of the masses. If half are completely uneducated, this becomes easier. If they want a country they will have to straighten their spines and earn it back… they simply laid down and gave it away when the coalition left.

SoapGulp t1_j2fqxxt wrote

Yeah, like if the women are educated they are gonna rise up and instigate a revolution, maybe even a coup. Be real now, how many times did that happen in human history? Also, I'm pretty sure the people there are of Islamic faith and they agree with Taliban most of the time because there was almost no resistance.

I hope the girls and women got a chance of an education while the US and NATO were there. The Saudis educate women and even bin Laden married THREE women who had PhDs. The country values education for women. The Taliban are a violent group of little fucks who are dumb as fuck and probably stink.

Oh come on Nobody cares about the UN. They just talk about stuff but in the end they are impotent in the face of reality.

They should get back to busying themselves with the Palestinian/Israeli issue like they usually do. Afghanistan is too big and they are too weak.

The UN is not they. The UN is the member states. Blame countries for being ineefective, but the UN itself is nothing. This is intentional.

The UN is "too weak" for Afghanistan? The UN didn't just get their asses handed to them in Afghanistan....the mighty Americans did, and before them, the Soviets and before them, the British. Way to know anything.

asses handed to them? US invaded, and maintained control for 20 years with remarkably few casualties suffered.

American people just couldn't be assed to continue paying the cost of the occupation.

I always find how peole see the withdrawal as an ass kicking. Lol. We kicked the talibans ass up and down those mountains. Sadly the government remained corrupt and the people really had no will to unify and Become a country. It's their failure and not ours. Shame we had to leave all of those who actually had some aspirations of a bright future.

....yup, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan.... It's been one victory after another for the ol' US of A.....a shame we had to leave, but it's their failure not ours. Kicked the Taliban's ass so hard....they won't be back...they've learned their lesson.

It's funny how you have no clue on the nbers game but that's your problem. We beat the bloody pulp out of all those countries. These where not military defeats. Just political as people at home lost the will for war. Feel free to keep spreading your ignorance like flat earthers and anti-vax fools though. No one calls Russo or chi a for mitary help. The call the USA.

Just because UN cant force a country to comply with its demand doesnt make it useless. Thats how you get countries to not join the UN in the first place.

UN has done a lot of good at making countries work together to combat disease such as polio and preventing more death from famines through the world food program
