| Topic | Nobody is talking about Afghanistan? |
| whitelytning 08/15/21 10:23:38 AM #201: | Ruvan22 posted... I've read your detailed posts here (I'm still on the fence about the "best" solution) - do you feel a staggered withdrawal would have been better? Like over a two year period? Yeah. I have no problem with the concept of withdrawing. Frankly, we probably should have been working on that a while ago but I really do have a problem with how the current admin is doing it. It seems like this topic is discussed as if there is only a binary choice; either we stay there forever or we withdraw immediately. Those obviously aren't the only two choices and I think a more gradual, longer pull out, without an announced date, would have been a better option. I also think, it should be conditioned on the nation not falling into the mess that is looks to be headed. To me its a duty issue. The US put a lot of resources into Afghanistan and had a duty not to fuck it up too bad or to just walk away. Leaving like this just negates everything positive we have done there and makes all the resources wasted. It crushes the hopes of millions of people for peace and living in a place with what most consider basic human rights. --- ************************************************ https://imgur.com/iZdWIKJ ...
