No loving duh. Also why you do it more than a year from the midterms. The problem people who oppose it are going to have is that the alternative is only ever going to be keeping a military presence in country, which is going to be unpopular to a general electorate. And no one on the right actually wants to fix the refugee problem because that involves more brown people at the supermarket.

So basically all the planes are leaving mostly empty because they want people to pay through the nose to get out or their requirements to get out are so strict even people at the top of the list are getting turned away? Jesus

the Taliban have officially asked Turkey to help run Kabul Airport on a technical level after foreign troops leave on the 31st but they don’t want Turkish troops there either, so they want strictly civilian technical aid https://twitter.com/reuters/status/1430560652045824006?s=21

hobbesmaster posted:i know the terrain is absurd but would a china-kabul-tehran bullet train be possible Possible, sure. Feasible, no. China's building a 1600 km higher-speed (160 km/h) railway right now from Chengdu to Lhasa, through the Himalayan foothills. The total cost will around USD $50 billion. A similar line from Urumqi or Lhasa to Tehran via Kabul will involve about 4000 km of railway through the Hindu Kush, which is significantly more challenging, plus security and international issues. I doubt it can be done for less than $500 billion. No one has that kind of money. edit: No one has that kind of the money except for the US, and even then it's only for wars.

The media is desperately trying to drum up outrage over the pull out and even when they flat out lie and tell people Al-Qaeda is now in control of Afghanistan they're still getting a majority saying they don't give a poo poo, exiting the war is good actually. This whole thing has been hilarious because it has exposed that the media talking heads still think this is the mid-2000's and that your average American still actually gives a poo poo about Afghanistan or the war on terror.

brugroffil posted:The ruthless efficiency of the Taliban Yeah I know reading articles on reason why people wanted make deals is the Taliban had a reputation compared to the Central government for being less corrupt. For example being a local merchant meant you had to constantly pay out protection money to the local central government police, town checkpoint guards or military to not get beat up.

When it was Latin American refugees it was only one side saying Womp Womp (openly), but now for Afghan refugees it sounds like both parties' leadership are saying Womp Womp.
