re: #39 Sharmuta

Part of the reason the Taliban came to power is because no one gave a rat’s ass about the Afghans. If we abandon them now- they will never trust America or the West again. And who could blame them?

And with the Pakistanis having a Taliban incursion of their own, our abandonment of Afghanistan would basically be handing them back their country - “Here, we’re done, just walk back across the border and retake everything we fought so hard to push you out of, we’re done with it.” Talk about kicking a people while they’re down.
