Why can't you dumb hicks learn english? I can't understand you. 314 million to destroy some millitamen in Central Asia, under an administration that promised to put America first. End of story.

' ... uh, no. :laugh2: This 314 million dollar bomb (America first?) was designed to collapse the tunnels inward, although that actually happening is not a foregone conclusion.

Make Afghanistan Great Again! It will only cost 314 million dollars.

314 million to destroy some lightly armed militiamen in Central Asia, while seniors can't get food and people in Flint drink poisoned water. America first!

I was with you until you decided to act like a condescending prick.

It's not a bunker buster. It has no penetrating capabilities. It also cost 314 million dollars. What happened to America first? You have starving seniors and homeless veterans, but your government is spending 314 million to drop a bomb on millitiamen in Central Asia.

That the US is desperate. Why else would they spend 314 million to destroy a base filled with several hundred millitiamen? They want to pull out of the country without it falling to the Taliban.

314 million dollars for an airbust bomb on an underground complex. I thought Americans wanted to spend last overseas? What happened to America first? You have starving seniors and homeless veterans, while you spend 314 million to kill several hundred millitiamen in Central Asia. How is that...

Honestly, the United States would bankrupt itself so fast in a conventional war. 314 million dollars (GBU-43/B) and 5% of the US MOAB arsenal to kill several hundred millitiamen, if they were even killed at all. I don't understand why they used an airburst bomb with no penetrating capabilities...

It was an isolated IS stronghold that apparently Afghan and coalition troops do not have the resources to attack. This comes before a major decision for NATO countries to decide whether they want to increase or decrease their deployment in the region. My questions. Was it effective? It is an...

That's not true at all. There is one sharia law, but multiple interpretations of that sharia law. It isn't as extreme in Egypt and Morroco as it is in Saudi Arabia or Malaysia.

I'll quickly point out that Sharia law isn't necessarily the strict Wahhabi interpretations promoted by Saudi Arabia and Al-Qaeda. In general it just means Islamic religious law. We conflate all sharia law as being wahhabi, whereas most Muslims do not. Let me correct myself though. Afghani...

There's a lot more evidence that the majority of Afghani citizens do not want Sharia law. The Taliban came to power with lesser numbers and foreign assistance from Pakistan, Iran, and Russia. The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan had just transitioned from the DRA, and had a fledgling government...
