Taliban Taking Over Afghanistan - Does anyone care?

I imagine this would have been the scenes that played out on the Walking Dead in the first few weeks had Rick not been in a coma

Hard to believe our "allies" the Taliban aren't living up to what they told us (or what we were told they told us)

Taliban Unveil New Afghan Government

KABUL—The Taliban unveiled a new government of Afghanistan that didn’t include any other prominent political forces, or women, cementing their hold on the country three weeks after seizing Kabul.

In one of the most controversial appointments, the interior ministry, responsible for police and security, went to Sirajuddin Haqqani, leader of the Haqqani network that is designated by the U.S. State Department as a terrorist organization because of its links to al Qaeda.

It seemed to me like the strategy early on from the White House was make ISIS-K the scapegoat for any bad actors as we exited Afghanistan and hope that the Taliban somewhat behaved. It would have made Biden’s choice to get in bed with the same people we were at war with somewhat easier to stomach.

Looks like the Taliban isn’t going to play ball.

And why should they? They've gotten all they asked for, and then some. Why be nice guys now?

The new #2 in Afghanistan has a $10 million bounty on his head.

Why are we not dropping bombs on these SOBs?

 

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

Our war on drugs experiment has been an abject failure. Our incarceration rates are embarrassing. We need to pull our heads out of our ass. Shocking prohibition creates massive more problems. I mean it's like we never dealt with that before.

Our “war on drugs” was never a war to begin with and anyone thinking it was/is is completely naive and lost. It’s been a money making machine for this country’s back channel organizations for decades. There was never a war on drugs, just a competition behind the scenes as to whom could fund their agenda or profit from it.

Imagine, all those failed diversity funds. Who would have thought ...

Oh, they are going to play ball. They just have to use a sword first.

Yes - that is the ticket. Another conflict will solve this.

The Americans need to get out and we need to ensure that happens.

As for after, I don't give one rats *** if they are murdering journalists, beheading pop singers, and throwing gays off rooftops. Cry me a f****** river. We gave 20 years to make it happen and they folded in less than a month. They wanted this and it shouldn't be our place to fix it. If change is what is really wanted they are going to have to stand up and fight for it. We simply can't do it for them and the bleeding heart Twitter warriors placing blame on the U.S. for Taliban rule with a iron fist can STFU.

Thoughts?

I say let them go. But if they are caught or whatever, I don't want to hear how we abandoned them or left them behind. Personal responsibility absolutely has to be held to at some point.

Conflict what conflict? We can't drop the hammer on these new "Afghanistan leaders" from above via drone or maybe a cruise missile? Like Trump did Iran's top General?

Everytime someone pops up as the new leader of the taliban boom red mist and charred wreckage.

Don't forget the diversity funding so they would be a more inclusive and understanding society.

Will bombing them unseat them from power?

“If there is one thing we learn from history, it is that we don’t learn from history”

F’em. Unless there is a credible threat or actual attack on U.S. soil, let them kill each other and read the qu’ran and hate infidels until their hearts content.

It. Isn’t. Our. Place.

You do know that there are several groups in country that helped a lot of the people to get out of Afghanistan and are still there helping Americans that this administration left behind. They are retired military specifically retired Special Forces that are still there helping.

It will unseat those guys from power!

Most of the current "leaders" of the new "Afghanistan government" are on the US terrorist watchlist why not at least take those people out?

That's completely idiotic

at least point to the right country of we're going to do it. We've spent 20 yrs and trillions in the wrong spot. We coddle our true enemies from 9/11 and you ignore it. The Taliban aren't it

The big question is why are they compelled to do this - our govt isn't doing their damn job and when civilians effect a rescue they take credit for it.
