> Classic whataboutism and pure idiocy.

Or maybe I come from a Country where these kinds of things happened.

Not all of us here are 20-something, some of us are old enough to remember what really happened.

> They aren't bombing Russia because that could start a nuclear war

Remind me which Country is the only one to have dropped two atomic bombs on innocent civilians...

> No working fighter jets were left behind
> Even if they did, the Taliban wouldn't know how to fly them

Aircraft worth $923.3 million remained in Afghanistan. The US left 78 aircraft procured for the government of Afghanistan at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul before the end of the withdrawal. These aircraft were demilitarized and rendered inoperable before the US military left, the report states

They are still valuable assets.

But is that really all?

Apparently not

I wonder what a terrorist organization can do with billions worth of weapons, even if half working...

Thanks God the US fought "the war on terror"... (it would be hilarious, if it wasn't tragic)

Give 'em a few years and they will find a way to use them, like they did last time when you armed them against USSR and then they used those same weapons to take control of the country and even kick the American asses out of Afghanistan.

Americans literally ran away leaving afghan people to die

Afghans are paying for the idiocy of Americans that went to look for Bin Laden where he was not, knowing he wasn't there, only because Dick Cheney is a dick.

The Afghan opposition to talibans is now left alone and against a powerful enemy, with lots of weapons and money, left behind by the invaders.

Thanks 'mmmmurica

> So what exactly is your solution, genius?

The solution is unfolding on its own.

America is retreating, their culture has become toxic, their companies are considered dangerous for the economy and for the rights of workers, they cannot even give free healthcare to all their citizens, despite being the richest country in the World.

Culturally they have become irrelevant, they can only produce shitty superhero movies, socially the nation is on the brink of a civil war.

The golden age is long gone.

USA are already dead, they just don't know it yet.

Nobody even fears them anymore, not Putin that nowadays controls a poor Country that isn't even probably able to launch a real war against anybody, they don't have the money, the means and the skills. USA have been beaten even by talibans, a tribe of shepherds of sheep with no training in combat. In Iran they are laughing at USA announced sanctions, they can't harm them more than they already did.

Recently Turkey Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu rejected the condolences the U.S. offered following a deadly attack in Istanbul and accused Washington of complicity saying that "it like the murderer arriving as one of the first at the scene of the crime."

Bin Salman, crown prince of Saudi Arabia, ordered the execution of the journalist Jamal Kashoggi who "was ambushed and strangled by a 15-member squad of Saudi assassins. His body was dismembered and disposed of."

USA have declared not more than a few days ago that Bin Salman cannot be prosecuted, because he's the king.

Do you think that the fact that he buys every year billions in weapons from USA influenced the decision?

Nobody respects the US authority anymore, because they showed over and over that their high moral ground was only a facade.

Why should we listen to what they have to say?

If the CCP decide to cut the supply of components, they don't have the strength to react.

They know very well they have to, that's why they are on retreat.

They are in the same situation the western Roman Empire was between 410 and 476 AD.
