@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.
@Gayniggeranus @Br0m3x Who said the west had no influence? You seem to have misunderstood what I said.
@Br0m3x @Gayniggeranus the elected gov was dependant on the US for security, so of course the US had influence. But the US was not the government of afghanistan and therefore it's incorrect to call it an “occupation”.
@Gayniggeranus @Br0m3x Calling it an “occupation” is like calling it rape because you didn't like the sex that you consented to.
@resist1984
USA invaded Afghanistan.
@Br0m3x @Gayniggeranus that's true, but that does make it accurate to say there was a 20-year occupation. It was a 1 year occupation until the election was held.
@resist1984
Please:)))))
@Gayniggeranus @Br0m3x Or did the US do anything that notably breached their agreement with Karsai or his successors?
