Concerns mount that US withdrawal from Afghanistan could risk progress on women's rights

[ColonelAngus]

But genocide in China is ok.




Good Lord....leftists are so full of shit. You morons are puppets of the military industrial complex. When did you fools become war mongers?

 

[lennypartiv]

Didn't the last election show us the danger of letting people vote who are controlled by hormones? The world is better off if they can't vote.

 

[pknopp]

This is stupid. The only way rights improve anywhere is if the people there insist on it.

 

[Anathema]

It’s not our place to tell them how to run their country or society. We can choose to break economic and political ties with them if they do things we don’t like, but we should not be telling any other country how to run itself.

 

[ColonelAngus]

This is saying we want to keep dropping bombs on brown people in Afghanistan until women have equal rights.....which is never.

Fuck anyone who wants to keep US troops in Afghanistan and keep bombing brown people....you are sick fuckers.


Maybe we should bomb China until they close the concentration camps.

 

[ColonelAngus]

This is MIC and dinosaur media propoganda so they can keep selling bombs To the government and CNN loves war.

Wake up fools.

 

[MarathonMike]

There is no solution to the Taliban. They want to live in the 9th century and are willing to die for their stupid backward beliefs.

 

[MisterBeale]

. . . if anyone on the left needed anymore evidence that CNN is as bad or worse than Infowars?

There are 3 reasons we are still in Afghanistan.

1) Poppies
2) Military Industrial Complex
3) A military presence in the region.

You must own a lot of defense stock. You want to stop bombing in Afghanistan which winding down, but start bombing China? You ain't too bright. I don't care if we pull out of the middle east and southwest Asia, starting the draw down tomorrow, leaving it to Israel but selling them anything they want and taking a hands off role. Only an idiot wants to start world war III. I don't like communists, but it's their damn country, same as I am not willing to support women's rights in Afghanistan with bullets, bombs and perfectly good soldiers. Of course, that is an Independents view, not tied to politics, Geo-Economics or national defense contractors.

 

[ColonelAngus]

We are going on 20 fucking years. This has become a fucking punch line.

WE NEED TO GET THE FUCK OUT OF AFGHANISTAN.

You forgot the Lithium. The "new normal," and the technocracy agenda with the remaking of the national infrastructure for big tech and the green Agenda, requires Lithium like the old paradigm required oil.

If that Socialist in Bolivia doesn't cooperate, I would expect another coup again.

Lithium wars, and rare Earth Mineral wars will be this centuries oil wars.

The U.S. Isn’t Leaving Afghanistan Anytime Soon

The U.S. Isn’t Leaving Afghanistan Anytime Soon

It just signed on to help unlock Afghanistan’s mineral wealth.

www.thedailybeast.com

". . . The U.S. Geological Survey—a scientific agency in the administration—signed a letter of intent with the Afghan government to help the country unlock what estimates say is nearly $1 trillion in natural resource wealth, according to Afghan officials and two other consultants working with the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum. The two parties signed the paperwork earlier this year.

The U.S. agency has long partnered with Kabul on mining development. By one report, the U.S. has spent hundreds of millions of dollars propping up the mining sector since 2009.

This time, though, USGS is working with the Afghan government to not only help with surveying the mining fields, but also to find ways to sell mining products on the international market. In other words, the U.S. will have a front-seat view as the Afghan government plans the development of its extractive sector. (The Afghan government also works closely with the Russian and Chinese governments on mining.). . . "

Does anyone know why the Taliban is not on the U.S list of foreign terror groups??

After 20 years, are the women's rights any better than they were 20 years ago?

Oh, yes, when the West leaves that country, women -- among others -- will no doubt lose many of their current rights.

But Americans cannot remain indefinitely in a country to ensure human rights.

 

[Foreigner Looking In.]

After 20 years, are the women's right any better than they were 20 years ago?

The women there believe in the Koran and therefore believe that women have less rights than men.
A very small minority of women would want any western induced changes in their society.
Maybe sub 1%

They never did anything to us. We should be on their list.

Wasn't there "the hundred years war"? After awhile the war becomes an institution. Generations of family members can fight in it.

Ya, If I remember right, when 911 happened, they asked for the proof that OBL did it, and they would gladly hand him over, because that type of behavior is forbidden in their religion, even under such theocratic philosophy as jihad. Innocents, women and children? Off limits. . . from what I gather.

The state department ignored their request.

 

[MisterBeale]

Probably because they never commit any terrorist actions?
