Betrayal of trust indeed! What a planned mission!! They'll at the long run bite their fingers... that had they known they wouldn't have done it.

it's
unwise to write off America in the things of security


afghanistan is known as the grave of empires
empires have tried to salvage situatuons there but failed
Soviet union came there and failed
USA did their best

it goes to show you that the afghans depended 100% on NATO 4 their security
which wrong

hence when they withdrew taliban was able to take control quickly

so the Afghan govt hope was for the American to be fighting for them and getting a bad name for it,
a corrupt govt that is holding some of his security personal salary, while Taliban pay them to get info. was there any open challenge in this take over, it was peaceful

The US made a big mistake, once the taliban had bees defeated, they should have handed the country to the organization of Islamic countries to handle . Those people have been fighting for hundreds of years and they will continue to fight for hundreds more. So just leave them with their wahala, na dem dem

And who said the OIC would accept America's offer, if it ever came? They didn't send the Americans into Afghanistan in the first place, did they?

This is America's failure alone and we cannot pass their cross over to others to share with them!

True, it's dead on arrival in Nigeria, you will only have noise but no real success with nationwide Islamic agenda. South West of Nigeria is the major brickwall. You can go all out in battle against a clear target in the predominantly Christian SE/SS and Middle Belt axis (and that's no childsplay in itself, as the resistance will be brutal in a real war situation) but the South West muslims won't play ball against their family so you can't face them in outright battle. Bottomline, our people should forget useless grammar and threats, and find ways to make things work preferably reboot by going back to true federation of the early 60s. Even if we go our separate ways, we are still neigbours.

Eriokanmi:
Nigeria's scenario is totally different. It will be impossible for any Islamist to have their way here. What's the Population of muslim to Christians in Nigeria compared to what's obtainable in Afghanistan where Muslim population is over 90%?

In lagos alone, Christian/Muslim population is like 70/30. A Muslim friend differed when debating this sometime ago. I now sat him down, called his attention to number of Muslims in state schools compared to that of Christians and number of Muslims in private schools and their Christian counterparts. I now took him on a walk to a few streets in lagos where we counted churches and the number of mosques relative to size. Eventually, he concurred though reluctantly. What am I driving at? Religious war can't prevail here in Nigeria. It will hit Brockhall down south.

I'm not biased against any religion here. I'm Nigerian first, then my religion follows. You and I dwarve some respect for whatever religion we practise. When we get to heaven, we will then know which is superior and which is not. Amazingly, nobody would be judged by the religion he or she practices but by our deeds while on earth, either good or bad. There's no religion in heaven. Nigeria isn't Afghanistan or any other place where Islamist terrorists can hold sway.

If Benin republic was harboring terrorist attacking Nigeria , as a president, wouldn’t you order your army to go in there and flush them out. And after flushing them out, would you still remain there for the next 20 years?

America has always been fond of doing things it’s own way and trump with his many faults, was trying to put the UN in front of suitations like this, that’s why he said America should not be the worlds policeman, cause it will always end like this. I just hope Taiwan are watching and learning.

What show of shame? What can be more shameful than the Afghan president absconding? What about the Afghan forces? My dear you guys should go and sleep. Why should Americans fight for useless ppl that are not willing to fight for themselves? Nigeria is in total mess because of massive corruption at all levels of Government and yet this one is posting about America.

There's nothing humiliating about this withdrawal. It's not the US' fault that the Afghan Gov't was unprepared to fight the Taliban and surrendered control to them without a shot being fired.

Monogamy:
America, Taliban and Afghan government had been meeting for years to figure out how to handle the situation in Afghanistan..

If the people involved in the back and forth fight are not ready to stop which they are all Afghans, what then can US do?

Must Usa be the one to be keeping peace forever in Afghanistan?
Dont mind this useless FFK. Imagine the Afghan president absconded from duty and the entire Afghan forces collapsed without resistance and yet you are calling America.

Not that I am defending them, but most of the wars the US has lost is due to their strict compliance with NATO polices and war laws.

If this was on a neutral ground, even china will think properly before facing the US.
Seriously? Try googling Vietnam,Cambodia,Korea, Central American and what the U.S did.Then talk about compliance with NATO policy.

You all are getting it wrong


US Mission has been achieved

Their mission is to get those that hit the twin towers and they achieved this when they killed Osama.After an international manhunt lasting nearly a decade since the 9/11 attacks. The 54-year-old Al Qaeda leader was killed in a raid conducted by a team of 23 U.S. Navy Seals. The operation on Bin Laden's hideout compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, lasted 40 minutes
Pakistan has two main border crossings with Afghanistan, at Torkham in the northwest and Chaman-Spin Boldak in the southwest of Pakistan

they remain there and even install the govt the wanted and go ahead and train the army......... all this na jara

You are correct. Kabul messed up. they had 20years of strong backing and military training without negotiating peace with a strong position. any one criticizing the US doesn't know what US foreign policy us all about. With billions of dollars coming into Kabul as aid every year, Afghanistan leadership refused to see tomorrow they were busy dinning and enjoying thinking US military protection will last for ever. More than 2 trillion dollars in spending and 20 years of protection just slipped through their hands, very unfortunate.

Ahhh... Not true oo. The North has a nuclear arsenal and a one million man standing army at the border of South Korea. That's why the US established the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) at the border to protect the South and prevent the North from entering.
I hope you are aware that most things in North Korea are shrouded in secrecy? those 1 million men standing army and nuclear arsenal may just be propaganda. it has not been able to be verified because? : North Korea won't allow anybody to come and gauge their true military strength!
secondly, I personally believe that when it comes to all-out war, many North Korean fighting forces would either fight half-heartedly or even sabotage the North Korean effort because most of them still have very close families in the south and would want to reunite and also because they are not being treated well and if they have a choice would not be in the army but rather be with their families in the south...mind you most North Koreans are still finding ways to escape to the south.

Afghanistan: "We Must Never Rely On America Or The International Community To Defend Our Nation" - FFK

Femi Fani-Kayode took to his Instagram handle to share lessons to be learnt from the situation in Afghanistan as the Taliban insurgents take over the presidential palace in Kabul, IgbereTV reports.

The Taliban succeeded in overthrowing the Afghanistan government after the U.S. withdrew their troops following a 20-year occupation.

He wrote:

The Afghans were trained for 20 years to be battle ready so they could defend their nation. What more would anyone wish for?

They didn't even bother to put up resistance against the onslaughts of the Taliban. Do you know why? They were tired of corruption.
Re: Femi Fani-Kayode: We Must Never Rely On America To Defend Our Nation by calcal: 1:16am On Aug 17, 2021
America's aim has been achieved, America helped to train over 300000 Afghan soldiers to protect their country. They are not ready to do so.

Why should Americans continue to die for Afghan to have a country?
Re: Femi Fani-Kayode: We Must Never Rely On America To Defend Our Nation by felixnkubi: 3:31am On Aug 17, 2021
because na America give birth to afghan or what? it was 9/11 that made them to go there in the first place, so leaving was always a surety, afghan never once made it easy for the US, always crying and whatnot of western invasion! now that they have left you would think the men in the country will decide to fight for themselves, it's the women and children I pity the most.
south Korea enjoys the US military bases and never complains, they understand how important they are to them, afghan never did

This is what we have been telling those that keep calling on America and United Kingdom to come and help Nigeria.

America only cares about America's interest. NOTHING MORE. Anything they say outside this is just rhetorics.
