20 years, thousands dead, almost $1T spent & the Taliban is able to overrun the country in a matter of weeks. Women will be as endangered there now as they were before 911. This is a major catastrophe. There must be another way. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

Ooooh, the US was in Afghanistan to defend the women... 🤔 Silly me for thinking they were after the poppies and the lithium...

We gave them a chance they wouldn't otherwise have had. Now it's up to Afghans to decide their fate. Grim as it may be.

Imagine the government turning up in a small township in rural America and telling the locals that their way of life is backward and they're there to change that even if they are a fundamentalist Christian place where women and gays kept in their place Imagine the resistance

We should just bomb the WHOLE WORLD! I mean there r issues everywhere, created by the US military, so why not just bomb everyone then there won't be any "scary taliban" and everyone will be dead so we won't have to worry about "protecting" anyone!
