I read The Return of A King by William Dalrymple which is a 400+ work which explores the first British invasion of Afghanistan in 1839. The work...
Afghanistan being run by shitbag rulers who are some of the loathesome people on the face of the earth goes back much further then 50 years.

This was always going to be the outcome if we left in 2006, 2012, 2021 or 2050. Anyone who thinks this would ever go another way is delusional.
The rapid capitulation of the Afghani army/government shouldn't be surprising to anyone at all. I thought it was fairly obvious this would happen.
Kabul 2021 or 2022 looking like Saigon 1975 is gonna be a bad look for his administration. I think pulling out is/was the right thing to do and...
I just got around to watching the piece from John Oliver. I don't agree with reparations. You could apply the same logic to any number of people...
