With US Set To Leave Afghanistan, Concerns Turn To Afghan Allies Left Behind | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Warmongers
I agree with bringing them to the United States.
Get ready for a refugee crisis once the Taliban seize control.
Were already dealing with that in Latin and South America.
@New Blue 2 Well then you can soon probably add Afghanistan to the list.
@New Blue 2 both caused by usa foreign policy, usa sucks
It is imperative that those Afghanis who helped the U.S. leave before the troops leave—to do otherwise is not only unethical but dangerous to U.S.’s future national security.
So, you’d pull out Karsi and Ghani, and the rest of the Afghan government, and just let the Taliban take over?
@Deborah Freedman, I’m more concerned about the Afghani citizens who helped U.S. soldiers. The leaders have enough cash and connections to take care of themselves and flee if they are unable to hold their government together.
There will be thousands of refugees.
Afghan coalition forces: ”We are being left behind!”
South Vietnamese, Iraqi Kurds, Syrian Democratic Forces, Syrian Kurds, Ukraine: ”First time?”
‘With friends like us…’
So Afghan journalists who supported America AND ALL THEIR FAMILY should get visa’s??? From a country where over 1/2 support the Taliban??? Sounds crazy to me…
My thoughts exactly.
Where do you get your figures? Over half? Hardly.
2,500 dead American soldiers in Afghanistan in 20 years, which is what, a fairly bad day of COVID in 2020.
brilliantly said, ty both. exactly.
Why does America always f…up the end game ?
It worked with Germany and Japan eventually. But I think the circumstances were rather different.
Hi Rachel Anne.👋🍺.
THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP
The Afghans themselves need to decide if they’re willing to fight and die for a western style Democracy or they’re satisfied with an Islamic style government. Ultimately, the Afghans must decide. The Taliban know what they are willing to fight and die for and I expect they will be in full control again as soon as we leave. Enough of the U.S. fighting this battle for them.
