Quit sending them “Humanitarian aid.”

It is the only way they’ll ever change.

It sounds cruel but the aid needs to stop.

“. . . poverty is rampant . . .”

For crying out loud, they should be able to open a chain of army surplus stores in every country in the world and stay in the black for decades.

We did. For 20 years.

“Afghans will see an independent, well-formed and committed military.”

Not to mention well-equipped.

We surrendered one of the world’s largest U.S. Air Forces bases and $85 billion of military hardware and pallets of cash behind. What else do they need?

It’s easier to dominate people when they are weakened by hunger. Food can be weaponized - at least for a while. Like the Somali warlords, the Taliban know this.

You mean like what Biden is stating to do to America?

"What else do they need?"

More misery and death, the mark of Islam.

"We did. For 20 years."

Originally the USA invaded afghanistan to off bin laden.

That was accomplished in b o's administration.

The USA should have bailed then, mission accomplished.

Instead, airheaded politicos decided to change the mission to
democratize a barbaric country, a non achievable goal.
