    The largest military in the world occupied their country and gave them billions in equipment to keep it and they let the taliban retake everything in weeks. I don’t think there is going to be any better opportunity then that. It’s obvious that the fighting population already made their choice, and now everyone just has to enjoy it.

      Sure, blame the Afghan civilians after bombing their country back to the stone age and then trying to occupy it for 20 years with said largest military in the world only to pull THAT rug out from under them with a sudden bungled withdrawal.

      It’s not like the West had anything to do with the Taliban taking power in the first place, right? Right?
