LOL, the RNC deleted their page touting Trump's "peace deal" with the Taliban.

Quote

The Republican National Committee removed a webpage hailing former President Donald Trump's peace deal with the Taliban — but said it was done not to distance itself from the policy in response to the militant group's seizing power, but as part of routine web maintenance.

The webpage, which was first posted on the Republican National Committee's website during last year's presidential election, had hailed Trump's foreign-policy achievements.

I blame that sociopathic rat bastard Dick Cheney.

Just read that 90% of the world's heroin comes from poppy fields in Afghanistan. Gnar.

I don't blame Biden, or Trump, or any single individual. I blame the entire U.S. foreign policy establishment, who can't get it through their Harvard-educated heads that the Taliban are savages stuck in the 7th century, and no amount of 'nation building' will change things for the better. People are not the same all over.

The only way to defeat them, really, is to nuke the entire country, but that's a non-starter. 

I'm going on the theory that everyone who had something to do with this debacle was in it for the money. How many billions did these defense companies make from us waging an endless war? And who's making money off the heroin?

You do realize that U.S. foreign policy in Afghanistan had nothing to do with nation building or reforming the Taliban, right? A war effort doesn't need to be successful to make money for certain people.

At least some gains in womens' rights were achieved in Afghanistan, who knows what will happen next.
