By that same definition, neither is Canada, the US, Mexico, Spain, etc. Make it work or don’t. That’s not really anyone else’s responsibility.

I love how people like to point out how “colonial powers” drew the maps of the Middle East after conquering them without regards to the different groups which actually live there. Yea they did. This is also how every single country in Europe was created as well as all of the other countries every where else in the world. This is how countries are made. Yes. Uh huh. Yep. That’s what they did.

The Afghan people were given 20 years and infinitely more resources to do what Ukraine has done to a larger, superior force in under a year with a fraction of one percent what Afghanistan had. The afghans threw down their weapons without a single shot fired. Fuck em. That’s not the US fault.

The US military was never once repulsed from Afghanistan and it left of its own accord by its own schedule with not a consideration at all to whatever the hell the Taliban thought it was doing. This was a failure, but not of the US military.

What program are we using to do this?

So I’m on team prisoner here.
