    Sorry Afghan woman, Americans don’t give a shit about you unless the news tells them to. The murderous Americans are busy moralizing about someone else right now.

      What’s your geopolitical cure for this? What foreign/military policy change from the U.S. government would sit well with you regarding this issue? I’m interested to hear it.

      Should the US invade Afghanistan again?

      Because as an American, I care very much, but I’m reluctant to go over to Afghanistan and fight an armed insurgency against the Taliban without an imminent NATO re-invasion planned after what will likely have to be months of guerrilla warfare to free the women of Afghanistan.

      Oh wait, I remember now, “Americans dumb, ha ha.”

    It just doesn’t stop baffling me how quickly the Afghan army folded to these people and accepted this as their future… just tragic all around

      I keep thinking the same thing. When it was all happening, I kept thinking that maybe the frontline troops were green and just in shambles but surely they had real troops in the ranks that would step up. It turns out they had like one group of real troops and that was it.

        The majority of the troops we trained were ex-taliban. Everyone knew it. The one thing that most people don’t understand is that Afghanistan isn’t really a country like most other countries, it’s just a shit load of tribes, they have no national interest. So they don’t care what happens halfway across the country.

    Hey Taliban… if you’re a woman and you’re in a tiled room and you say something and you hear your echo, does that count?

    That’s so heartbreaking. I can’t imagine the level of isolation it would feel to be a woman under Taliban rule.
