      • 22 years of invasion, slaughter, and continuous violent occupation by the world’s most prolific warmonger

      Fine. Cool. Incredibly good, aktuly.

      • 1.5 years of religious conservatives reclaiming a nation that’s been deliberately bankrupted by the departing occupation army

      Y’all, I found your problem.

        Do you seriously think people are better off in Afghanistan now? Fucking hell you’re deluded.

          I think it will take a generation to repair all the damage that the country suffered since the 2002 invasion and occupation. Getting out from under an occupation government that regularly dropped bombs and mortars across its surface, sent in teams of assassins to execute local leadership, and looted the treasure for two decades running was a necessary first step to recovery. But it won’t be any kind of place you’d want to live, any more than Iran was after the '79 revolution or Vietnam was once Ford finally pulled us out of Saigon. It will take a generation or more to repair the damage, assuming some new assholes don’t invade again.
