      The army that folded in two days after 20 years of time wasted trying to make a horse drink.

          It’s the middle east, they’re not “minorities” in their own fucking country lol

          Armed the women? Certainly would have worked if they’d been willing to fight, probably would have only driven more Afghani army into the Taliban’s ranks though. Considering even the non-extremists in the area don’t want women equal to men at this point.

          Sharia law is the problem, we will never have a functional middle east until religious authoritarianism stops being the actual written law. Problem is most of them are comfortable in their current existence and have no reason to change. Any change we suggest or offer will just be met with “these evil westerners are trying to destroy our faith!”

            There are non-Pashtun minorities in Afghanistan.

            Trying to preserve an Afghan state was the mistake.

              You are incomprehensible. Dude was saying there is no way to help them. Their own army gave up in 2 weeks even after being trained for 2 decades by a professional army.

              You came. in and said “don’t hold your breathe”… for whatever reason… hold our breathe for what? No one mentioned anything to be waiting for…

                Lol, what?

                Anyone with a middle-school reading level can understand I was saying “I won’t hold my breath for their military to help them out.”

                “incomprehensible”, yeah, if your reading comprehension isn’t that great. Sure.

                  Why would you say that? No one had said that the army was going to help. You saying don’t hold your breath for the military to help is the incomprehensible part. Anyone with an elementary school reading level can see that.

                  Take the L and go home

                    Because it’s true?

                    Lol, wake me up when these problems get solved doing something I don’t suggest.
