What is it like for women & girls in Afghanistan today? Hunger, isolation, & ingenuity. How CARE is helping.
Yes, send your thanks to the fucking Americans who fucked that country and ran away.
It already sucked well before the US invasion.
You mean when the fucking Americans armed them to fuck over the Russians?
It already sucked well before the US invasion.
Sucked before then too!
so you think Russia should’ve invaded and should own the oil fields right now?
the country is located on resources the world (unfortunately) really wants and has a terrible culture of corruption
what do you do about that?
That country has been messed up for centuries and it’s not Americans who are keeping girls out of school
Two Decades of American Lies in Afghanistan
The entire western world provided training and equipment to the people of Afghanistan so they could defend themselves.
And they rolled over like an obedient dog for the Taliban.
A national army is useless if it is not supported by an actual government and long standing social and political institutions.
Afghanistan is still a tribal based society and that is where people’s allegiances lie.
Going into Afghanistan and expecting decades/centuries of political, cultural and social development to be imposed from outside in a few years (in a society that has been hostile to outsiders since the time of Alexander the Great…) was a fools game from the outset.
The USA invaded the region with zero plans for what to do once they had won, same with Iraq.
What is going on there now is a tragedy but expecting anything else to come out of the US occupation is farcical.
