Biden says he doesn't regret the decision to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan. Really?!!

I know the Americans can't be expected to sort out every problem on the world stage, but how can we just turn our backs and leave those poor girls in the hands of these monsters Sad There isn't any alternative IMO but to keep the troops there.

I also think we and the USA should open our borders to any woman and child who wants to come. It’s the least we can do.
It would be nice to take women and DC without a doubt. I'm skeptic 2/3 of DC the UK took from Calais were 6ft with beards.

The right wing commentator and presidential candidate Pat Buchanan said in 2001 the USA should try to kill or capture those responsible for 9/11. Then they must leave Afghanistan and avoid Iraq. You can't be a Republic and an Empire in his opinion, you must choose. Not someone I'd normally agree with but a broken clock and all that.

7 miles from the kabul

7 miles.

The extra troops arnt even there yet.
Sky news talked about these troops securing kabul because it would be disastrous for it to fall so quickly.

I am an afghan.
I would be skeptics of everything that has been posted on social media.
Afghans in the west have a very skewed romanticised view of a lot of things.

Afghanistan do not need any foreign involvement only of which is no strings aid on a humanitarian basis to pay for the damage they have caused for the past 20 years.

Here is a good article I thoroughly recommend everyone to read

@shekamboo Great article reassuring in ways. I'll donate to a humanitarian charity, stop reading the media.
