@Br0m3x yikes. Sad to see that wealth will go to the Taliban.
@resist1984 who should benefit from it?
@Br0m3x a society that's not under an oppressive regime
@resist1984
They were under US occupation almost 20 years. I didn't notice that their puppet army or ordinary people tried to stop Talibs. It is weird, isn't it?
Currently there are a few countries which can be considered as non-oppresive.
@Br0m3x I don't think US “occupation” is an accurate term. If it were an occupation the governance would have come directly from the US gov., not democratically elected President Hamid Karzai, his administration, his democratically elected successors, & the democratically elected parliament. Taliban also had internal resistence as the US withdrew but they were weak in comparison.

If my knowledge about Afghanistan is right there is strong tribal system there. CIA did 'good' job as usual. They were surprised with communism collapse as well.
