The Debacle of Afghanistan and What May Follow
US Incorporated ^ | August 24th, 2021 | Allan Wall

Posted on 08/24/2021 3:21:17 PM PDT by River Hawk

The ongoing fiasco in Afghanistan is a major humiliation of American power and prestige abroad, sending an image of weakness and incompetence to friend and foe alike.

After spending 1.2 trillion dollars, and losing thousands of soldiers, the U.S. has failed to convert Afghanistan into a stable, democratic country.

What sort of society is Afghanistan anyway?

Now, what about the refugees? We’re being told that we must take in Afghan refugees, potentially tens of thousands. But how compatible are Afghans with American culture?

Old School traditional American thinking once again. No offense to you intended. Sorry to inform you that Afghanis will not have to adapt---WE will.

As to newer arriving Spanish speaking immigrants.... WE all adapted along with phones telling us to Press 2 for.... languages. Cans and boxes on all grocery shelves are filled with Spanish and English labels. Same for boxes for toasters, TVs and appliances. And even signs over the aisles in some stores. Clothes say "Large" and "Grande."

Schools (as with the 92 different languages for students taught in L.A.) have to hire tutors if teachers cannot speak and write in the many various languages of immigrants---not simply Spanish. 92 languages.

Old days: At home--"No, speak English, son. We need to learn it to get ahead. We are Americans now."(to an Italian, German, Polish, Russian, Croation, and so on).

Today: Some groups outright refuse to adapt to American culture.

Your TV bill may go up a little for the new Afghani Network to be added.

Shameful rogues gallery but they will all get paid well.

Their only punishment will be their big money will face inflation under Biden just like all of us. Not much punishment for them.

It’s NOT a “society”.
It’s a land of murderous, waring, bloodthirsty muslim(SPIT!) clans and tribes.
They’re subhuman troglodytes from hell.

The Afghan refugees will DEMAND we change our culture to suit them as WE are the infidels who saved their azzes!

Just like the Somali refugees demanded the same.

“The U.S. has failed to convert Afghanistan into a stable, democratic country.”

Two causes of failure: failed US politicians + failed Middle Eastern states. 9/11/01 was brutal and deserved a brutal x10 response.

Not kidding.
