Honestly Freedom could never flourish in a country full of whiners like Afghanistan. You wouldn't see me crying if the Air Force obliterated 80% of my wife's family in a wedding airstrike.

The only way Biden can win the messaging war on Afghanistan is by pivoting on the Uyghurs, and claiming he sold Afghanistan to China because it's not constrained by the UN and has a proven record of destroying Islam within its borders.Al-Saqr posted:American Afghanistan Veterans crying that they fought for nothing and lost:-

Could the US even reinvade without a few months of build-up at this point? Or really at all? I 'm a bit fuzzy on how they moved in twenty years ago. Through Pakistan and they got the Russians to help/not gently caress with them building logistic bases in former USSR republics? That might not be quite that easy a second time.

Reinvade is a weird way to spell "bravely playing video games in some isolated firebase at $1M/year per head"

For some reason having your foreign soldiers cowering in terror at isolated firebases, eating junk food and jerking off isn't how you win a war...

so that well equipped Afghan army and air force Biden was talking about last month, that's all going to be Taliban equipment in a few weeks right? Jesus, the US just gave the Taliban an air force.

Well most MIC contractors have already left places like Iraq. So the local air force will pretty fall apart due to the lack of regular maintenance and repairs on the planes. Also the ISIS surge in Iraq was pretty much supplied, by how ISIS managed to capture massive stockpiles of Iraqi army equipment provided by the US

Afghan military is low energy, we need high energy people with brain in charge. We need tough, tough people, not weak people. We should've built big beautiful walls around all the provincial capitals before leaving. Sleepy Joe is a total disaster.
