GardenOfGod: Iraq was invaded on the pretext that Saddam is stocking WMD which turned out to be false. Iraq was invaded so that the can still their oil and show off their military equipments for suitors to see how good their weapon fares in battle field 1 Like |

baralatie:The problem of terrorism is that it is deeply rooted in religious ideologies. It is a struggle of one religious ideology against others (The Jihadists believe they must win the world for Allah) and as long as that struggle exists, there will always be a possibility of emergence of another Osama. The real mistake Americans made is that they thought they can just walk to Afghanistan and convince the people that the Talibans are not good for them. They forget the religion of the people itself is the problem, it is the religion the Talibans exploit to get into power and as long as they continue to portray the west as anit-Islam and pro-Chiristianity, the people out of religion sentiment will always work to undermine the west and promote the Talibans. |

DenreleDave: Americans are dying on their own soil due to insane crime rates in their cities. Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from all over the world are pouring into the US through their southern border...and Biden's economic policies are ballooning the inflation rate thus destroying the welfare of Americans. At this rate the US will be history by the end of Biden's tenure if its citizens don't fight against the current administration. |

baralatie: No, comprised of Afghans who were 1) in it for a paycheck 2) in it for their tribe or family benefit. Then there is the fact that salaries are 1) not adequate 2) they could go without pay for months. Add the fact that the government they were fighting for was 1) seen as America's poodle 2) corrupt and fantastically so at levels that make Naija look like a pristine example of good governance. If a US soldier dies in battle, there are welfare packages for his family. If an Afghan soldier dies, that's it. His family can be destitute for life. Speaking of income. 1) most of the income to pay those soldiers was coming from US pockets 2) it cannot go on forever.3) Afghanistan is not a productive enough country (except for opium) to earn the kind of revenues that could sustain a good enough welfare package for its forces without having to completely rely on foreign aid. |

baralatie: No it would ensure that they survive for their families. Taking on the Taliban as they should could lead to them dying...and then who takes care of their families.? Many of the soldiers in the Afghan army don't want to die. For now, let them avoid death by handing over to the Taliban, they can worry about cash tomorrow. As one redditior said ...most of these guys want to live out their lives herding goats on their family's patch of land till they die at the ripe old age of 53. Better save your life today. A living dog is better than a dead lion. |

Beancounter94:It is not as straight forward as you put it! Those afghans will have to deal with regime change first(this will affect land use,taxation,freedom of trade,access to health excluding education,tourism,alcohol consumption,public gatherings etc) There is practically little left for them to go back to That is even hanging on the fact that If the era of Taliban phase 2 will not usher in a new wave of regional warlords |

Abascoh:Can't you see u are a clown, a peace deal with Taliban. Na mumu dey worry u. So what was in the deal for Taliban if a new govt was to be from? Taliban want to rule Afghanistan, and u said trump deal was to ceasefire and form a new govt, who would make up the new govt if not Taliban. Sometimes u should think before u talk. Trump plan was just to end the Afghanistan war to put his name in the good book didn't care about anything else. |

Appleyard:you can say that again bro, the US failed to achieved their aim after 20 bitter years of occupation and now they have decided to accept their defeat and leave, its still surprising how some person still think the US has nothing to loose if they stay, forgetting how they have wasted $2trillion and lost thousands of soldiers. 1 Like |

Premiumwriter2:read you comments over again and listen to how you sound. Since its a civil war in another country just like you claim, then whey would the US interfered and moved their forces there in the first place? The presence of a foreign army in a country is an invasion and the Taliban did a very good job to force the Americans to withdraw and that is a defeat for the US. |
