The situation in Afghanistan

skiermanI'm guessing its not just politics you don't pay attention to. Don't worry, the best kind of citizen is an ignorant one... you stupid fucking racist.

SourSteezleAre you really defending the way in which Biden just left Afghanistan? Leaving US citizens stranded, leaving the Taliban all of our military weaponry, and meanwhile allowing a suicide bomber to kill marines as well as hundreds of Afghanistan citizens?

The way in which we exited is a complete disgrace and leaving US citizens behind is un-American. Regardless of your political party, Biden is looked at by the rest of the world as weak, and he's proving them all right with the way he handled this.

Profahoben_212This withdraw was long overdue. Glad Biden had the balls to actually do it. Obama and trump both said they would.

Is it a shit show? Yes. How could it not be.

CatdickBojanglesThey could’ve left Bagram and Kandahar airfields open long enough to withdraw to start with. Wouldn’t have created one concentration of evacuees for isis to target.

VTshredder69I also don't pay attention to other middleclass white kids calling me a racist.

Much love brother =)

VTshredder69The Taliban is murdering everyone who associated with the USA. They're pledging to treat women equally while they behead those not wearing hijabs. People are falling from the wings of planes just to get out of their own country.

Really puts in perspective how good western culture has it.

The current US administration is hiding and pretending nothing is happening.

We really need to help those in need. People who voted Biden should donate first =)

SuspiciousFishSo the Taliban found some leftover Blu-Ray copies of Scarface or something?

DesertStixThey were trying to put a new flag up. This guy is not hanging by his neck and is a member of the taliban.

DesertStixI don’t understand people who bash Twitter.

skiermanWAIT! YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT TWITTER ISN'T A GOOD SOURCE FOR YOUR NEWS!?!??!


OMFG!!!

SuspiciousFishI figured that from the dudes arm. Its still a funny movie reference.

DingoSeanYou know what, Im not even blaming America or Biden or Trump, or anyone for this one... Yeah, America had a part to play, and we made mistakes, but we didnt create the mess in the first place...

Fuck the soviets for messing with a, disjointed, but at least peaceful(?) country in the 70s, and fuck the British for creating it in the first place... Should have told Pakistan to get bent and allowed them to form a Pashtunistan... just like we should have told Turkey to get bent and allowed a Kurdistan to form in Iraq (again, Thanks Britain for fucking shit up - and in this case, also fuck you, France)

And last but not least, Fuck the fucking Taliban, and all religious extremists. The worst members of humanity...




Through all of this, Apparently there are about 27 california public school students all from Sacramento stuck with their families in Afghanistan right now... Many of whom might be in transit out of the country (along with millions more, no doubt) This whole thing sucks.

HypeBeastTaliban says people can leave now and flights are resumed. Cautiously optimistic but majorly sus considering proximity to 9/11.

skiermanThe Taliban didn't attack us on 9/11, you stupid fucking child. Turn off Fox News for once.

AndrewGravesSVI think that there is going to be so much international scrutiny and pressure for the taliban to try and run a country that not much will happen for a bit. whether thats to say some other terrorist cells dont act up is another issue. In the past when the taliban has controlled cities, they've fallen apart from the inside because they arent organized enough to have infrastructure. itll be interesting to see how they try and function as a gov

skiermanThe Taliban didn't attack us on 9/11, you stupid fucking child. Turn off Fox News for once.

HypeBeastNo but they allowed al qaeda to proliferate in their country and supported them. We literally have been fighting the taliban for the past 20 years and their views are nearly synonymous. They've also indicated they are allied with them now still. So in a way, yeah they did help attack us.

And ur retarded. Fox News is to conservatives what CNN is to liberals. Although fox has propagated fake news so less trustworthy imo. CNN is still very biased too.

skierman"Durrr the Talibans let them stay!"

*Completely ignores the fact that the U.S. was well aware of Bin Laden and allowed the transfer of him to Afghanistan because they thought it was far away enough so he could no longer be a threat to the U.S.*


You are an ignorant fucktard.

DesertStixBro, you watched that latest Netflix doc it doesn’t make you an expert in Middle East affairs

MiIfHunterWhen was the last time u had pussy?

skiermanBro, its hilarious you think that's the first documentary to mention this. You kids really are dumb fucks, huh?

VTshredder69Meanwhile kids are fighting online from the same country, and their fellow citizens are still stranded in Afghanistan! Sad times for America.

MiIfHunterWhen was the last time u had pussy?

VTshredder69He definitely speaks like a virgin would

JAHpowBiden conducted a "righteous strike" on Aug 29 to avenge the Kabul bombing that killed 13 US service members.

2 year old Malika Ahmadi was among those killed in Biden's "righteous strike". Her father (a US foreign aid worker), and 7 other members of her family (6 children) were among the victims.

Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said: “U.S. Central Command continues to assess the results of the airstrike in Kabul on Aug. 29. We won’t get ahead of that assessment. However, as we have said, no other military works harder than we do to prevent civilian casualties. Additionally, as Chairman Milley said, the strike was based on good intelligence, and we still believe that it prevented an imminent threat to the airport and to our men and women that were still serving at the airport.”

DesertStixI’m not sure what your point is. Are you trying to argue about the use of drone strikes altogether or just talk shit about Joe Biden?

JAHpowJoe Biden committed a war crime with this strike.

CatdickBojanglesI think you misunderstand the Genova convention.

JAHpowJoe Biden committed a war crime with this strike.

skiermanDamn, only 6,999 to go to catch up to Trump's record in Afghanistan.

WoFlowzThink of the atomic bombs? Both were horrible war crimes that killed thousands instantly and still effect the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which according to the US DOD and defense advisors didn’t need to be dropped because island hopping was working and efficiently.

WoFlowzSo has almost every US president ever along with some committing human rights violations. Along with the Congress that won’t hold them accountable. It happens on both sides of the isle weather that be Trump or Biden, Obama or Bush, Clinton or Bush… Think of the atomic bombs? Both were horrible war crimes that killed thousands instantly and still effect the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which according to the US DOD and defense advisors didn’t need to be dropped because island hopping was working and efficiently. Or Agent Orange in Vietnam? Children are still being born with birth defects because of that, and horrid cancers develop in the people that live there because of those chemicals. Or maybe think of how after 9/11 on us Soil the FBI and NYC police had the power to arrested any person they wanted to who looked like they were from the Middle East with little to no evidence. Purely based off the idea they are suspicious. And anyone with any evidence against them and some without we’re imprisoned unjustly in Federal Prison. Some were even sent to Guantanamo Bay, where they were tortured, interrogated, and beaten without any access to the outside world or a lawyer of any kind. Some of who were innocent and as young as 15, 16, 17…

the us has done many awful things, most of which US presidents knew about. I don’t think president Biden’s response in Afghanistan was a good one, nor does above make it right. Butttt I don’t think it would be a easy task for any president for that matter.

JAHpowIt sounds to me like you're saying that since every other president and member of congress has gotten away with war crimes in the past, then who cares about what the current and future presidents do?

CatdickBojanglesFirst off the DOD never said that because the DOD was not formed until 1947. Second off you need to pay attention in history class. The bloodiest battles of the war were fought island hopping and it was not effective at all. The Japanese planned on fighting until total destruction of their country. The bombs were dropped on 2 industrial cities to cripple what remained of the Japanese manufacturing of war equipment and to force them into an unconditional surrender. Maybe algebra isn’t the only class you are failing.

WoFlowzStill both killed thousands of women and children

WoFlowzNo I’m saying is to call out Biden specifically is kinda stupid

CatdickBojanglesI think you misunderstand the Genova convention.

JAHpowReally?


The Geneva Convention defines a war crime as:


Wilful killing;
Torture or inhuman treatment, including biological experiments;
Wilfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health;
Extensive destruction and appropriation of property, not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly.

It further defines violations as:


Intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population as such or against individual civilians not taking direct part in hostilities;
Intentionally directing attacks against civilian objects, that is, objects which are not military objectives;
Intentionally directing attacks against personnel, installations, material, units or vehicles involved in a humanitarian assistance or peacekeeping mission in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, as long as they are entitled to the protection given to civilians or civilian objects under the international law of armed conflict;
Intentionally launching an attack in the knowledge that such attack will cause incidental loss of life or injury to civilians or damage to civilian objects or widespread, long-term and severe damage to the natural environment which would be clearly excessive in relation to the concrete and direct overall military advantage anticipated;
Attacking or bombarding, by whatever means, towns, villages, dwellings or buildings which are undefended and which are not military objectives

CatdickBojanglesKeyword is intentional. If the stories are true it sounds like bad intelligence. It’s fucked up and sad but I doubt it was intentional.
