Has anyone remembered why the US invaded Afghanistan? To liberate their country? To get rid of the Taliban? To kill Bin Laden? Bin Laden's dead, Taliban's power is minimized, and Afghan people definitely don't want you fucks in there. So please, do Afghanistan a favor and GTFO

Conspiracy theories run rabid among people who's govt's supress a free press. This type of ignorance is an unfortunate consequence. Panderers of it are indeed guilty of a damnable offence.

Just one way legally steal money from the government by the intelligent people of the government. Not only this but they make bogus program/s created and signed and approved by the people of the government to alocate thousands, millions, billions of tax payers' money.

These need to be checked, the validity and accountability, and idetify those no conscience leaders.

Nobody has never conquered Afghanistan. For the last 100 years, the british, the soviet, and now the american have tried. Never succeed.

The Soviets were there for a decade or two during the cold war and they had enough sense to withdraw and they were bankrupt at that time as well.

No country since Ancient Macedonia has been able to conquer that part of the world and hold on to it.

@BlueberryFusion 's fault to? This is a perfect example of what were were trying to make sure did'nt happen during Vietnam,obviously our goverment did not care after 75', pulling all the US troops out. Do you remember what happens next, Saigon falls the North takes over all of Vietnam and shit really hits the fan,you should be blaming the US that we were'nt their longer.
