It’s funny cause they legit have a terrorism problem with the once US funded IS. If you people had ever cared to see what has happened to Afghanistan after the Talibans took over you’d know that the terrorists are constantly bombing public spaces, public infrastructure etc.
The Talibans may be extremists and fundamentalists but terrorists? That’s a CIA talking point - any violence against us, the west, is terrorism.
The US abandoned Afghanistan in ruins after 30 years of war, bombing people and infrastructure and now they have to rebuild their country on their own, forgotten by the world. They are starving, they are extremely poor and because they are so vulnerable, the IS was able to establish itself there and terrorise the people. So I don’t get the irony here, you people are just hypocrites and don’t remember who caused all this in the first place.
As far as I’m concerned, the 92-01 war had the support of the US along with Russia. But that’s way besides the point I’m making.
I didn’t mean that it’s 30 years strictly against the US, I am only saying that these people have been tortured by war for 30 years and all people care about is to call the Talibans terrorists, not the people’s suffering by the world powers’ interventions.
Instead of playing with numbers, we could just focus on the issue of portraying every enemy of the US as a terrorist and mocking anything these people go through just because someone the west doesn’t like prevailed. Of course they are religious fundamentalists and oppressing, especially to women, but they are a legitimate government as much as you don’t like it and the people have the right to sort their society morals on their own just like the west did - it feels stupid to articulate such obvious statements, but people don’t get it.
Ah yes, “we did good but they messed it up, as usual!”
If the US cared enough about the well-being and the services the people have access to in the nations they invade, they would probably not do the invading bit.

30 years of war? Are you including their initial war with the USSR in that statement? Otherwise that sounds like a 50% rounding error.

I’m Indifferent, though I see your point. I thought your numbers undercut your argument before you elaborated. Thanks for the follow-up.
I’m sorry I assumed that, people’s goal when making comments on semantics is usually to obfuscate the point
The US built a shitload of schools and infrastructure in Afghanistan but none of it has been maintained.
