  1. The world should be a peaceful place not a battleground we should learn how to tolerate others. Say no to WAR

    1. No one I guess remembers the withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam? War is messy and so is withdrawing.

  3. Trump promised to withdraw from Afghanistan. Biden had the courage to do it. Yes, it was messy. It was always going to be. We were there for 20 years. Should we stay another 20? Not one more American kid has died over there by roadside bomb in a year now. Thank you Joe. Go Dark Brandon!

  6. Yes, but, have you actually met and dealt with the Taliban regime? Until you see their true intentions towards restricting women’s most functional rights, then you haven’t seen anything like it in Afghanistan. People are now starving. Need… we say more?

  9. U.S. spent $2.26 trillion in Afghanistan; the Costs of War Project at Brown University calculates. The biggest chunk – nearly $1 trillion was consumed by the Overseas Contingency Operations budget for the Department of Defense. The second biggest line item – $530bn is the estimated interest payments on the money the U.S. government borrowed to fund the war. Yet for all those trillions, Afghanistan still has one of the smallest formal economies on the planet. 90 percent of the population is living on less than $2 a day. This is what a $2 trillion investment has yielded for the US: a chaotic, humiliating end to a 20-year war.

  10. part i dont get, we spent 20 years training the place, 20 years setting things up, they collapsed in a week which says they wanted this outcome. why are we even commenting on this? there is 38 million verses a few thousand, they want change they can create change, we tried, we failed, and now they need to do it themselves because they obviously didnt want any help.

  16. Founding Father Samuel Adams — “It is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice. For they cannot live in any country where virtue and knowledge prevail.”

    4. @Brian Johnston Define indoctrination. It’s to teach someone a set of values or beliefs while teaching them not to question it. Like religion, for example, or cults. As far as religion is concerned, the world was created 2000 yrs ago, despite mountains of evidence suggesting otherwise.
      Education is knowledge, the opposite of indoctrination. Education is the opportunity to learn while asking and exploring a million questions.
      It’s easy to trick people if they don’t know how to ask the questions.

  17. Again, they had 20 years to step up & fight for their own freedom (Ukraine example) & chose not to.

  18. It’s the previous presidential parties responsibility to help the new presidential party in office, to a smooth transition and Any deal’s and plans that TRUMP made should of immediately been shared in great detail to the new administration not taken home and flushed down the drain

  19. I’m far more worried about domestic terror attacks which greatly outnumber combined foreign attacks in recent history. Elements of our own government are killing women’s rights based on religious philosophy. It seems hypocritical to try and address these problems abroad while we can’t solve them at home
