Can I ask a sincere question without being banned? I am not in support of american imperialism.
as far as I am aware as a westerner - the taliban has had a resurgence across afganistan. Has this been a positive or negative for the country?
Obviously america leaving the middle east after waging a war means - less war, presumably? But since then, have conditions improved at all?
It is their country, it is not my business if it is positive or negative. The fact that the US-backed government collapsed in two weeks while the Taliban withstood twenty years of war tells me that their government has more popular support among the people.
I am not a practicing Muslim so I have my reservations but if the Afghans shared them then the Taliban wouldn’t have survived and retaken the government.
if the Afghans shared [my reservations] then the Taliban wouldn’t have survived and retaken the government.
You’re serious? “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun”, the Talibans had many guns
