@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.
@InceptionState @Br0m3x You sound like a Trump supporter. Claiming the election was stolen, as well as the election of Karzai's successors, because you don't like the result. This is really grasping at straws in attempt to further the nonsense that the US “occupied” Afghanistan for 20 years.
@Br0m3x @InceptionState We already agreed that the US invaded Afghanistan. Nothing else you've mentioned is relevant to your incorrect usage of the term “occupation”. You don't know what it means. Occupation is what you have in Israeli-occupied Palestine. The US is /assisting/ Israel, but the control over Palestine comes under the Israeli flag -- and that matters, as it does with Afghanistan.
@Br0m3x @InceptionState Obama is the best US president in recent history & Trump is clearly the worst. But Obama had flaws- one of which was ordering more drone strikes than any other president in history. Invasions are usually pushed by pre-Trump US republicans. But this is all irrelevant to the emotionally driven misuse of the term “occupation”.
@InceptionState @Br0m3x G W Bush gets credit for torture. In any case, notice that some hot-head used the term /occupation/ in Wikipedia, but it was corrected.
@InceptionState @Br0m3x Your post shows you're extremely emotional, and the emotion has gotten the better of your judgement of facts.
