Yes - of course there were problems - which are unavoidable in that part of the world. The Allies were there for a relatively limited purpose. There were some benefits to their presence, which don't bear mentioning here, especially in light of your cherry-picking superfluous concerns like 'Globohomo' which isn't in the vocabulary or interest of most people, especially in Afghanistan. This topic of Middle East geopolitics is obviously not your specialism.

You decline naming those benefits because they don't exist.

That's right, our military mission was destined to fail once it switched from the destruction of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban to so-called, "Nation Building." As you said yourself, (I'll paraphrase) very few Afghanis have shared cultural interests with the West.

This topic of Middle East geopolitics is obviously not your specialism.

Are you ESL?

Again - you've not bothered to check on your claims. Do you do this often - merely state whatever you want without any concern for the facts? If you use an internet search app to find the information, you'd know that the lives of women improved substantially in 20 years, and that your tax dollars paid for billions in reconstruction source. There were many additional benefits. And of course there were problems. That was not unexpected in that region. See also this.

So you reference the most biased, extreme right-wing disinformation propaganda website available?

Think for a second about your sources: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/rense/

Are you so stupid that you cannot determine for yourself that Rense posts primarily extreme right-wing disinformation? Nothing funny about that site. It's there solely for the purpose of helping the 1% fuck over the 99%, one of whom is probably you.

Did you even look at the date on that article you fucking retard? When these wars started the right-wing was all about them. The right-wing has historically supported ALL the wars.

Ironic to be called a 'retard' by an knuckle dragger who doesn't bother to look at how favorably Trump and other corrupt right-wing assholes referred to the Taliban in the past two years. As would be well known at DAR, the right-wing agenda has been to talk nicely about the Taliban, to reduce the criticism when the Trump Admin and CIA gave them the go-ahaid to take back Afghanistan. Again - if you don't know something - look it up.
