Well I hope you are right but the experience of Syia suggests this country at least will not do much.
Well I hope you are right but the experience of Syia suggests this country at least will not do much.On a serious note, all the countries involved should be doing what it can to take in refugees from the area, the situation over there is likely to get very nasty - it’s no good western countries just walking away and turning a blind eye to it.
to be fair I’m sure you are far more familiar with their forums than me
Surely ‘countries’ aren’t breeding grounds for terrorists, ideologies are and they are in every country
Do America ever win a war
No more so than as a country occupied by a Western power where the Taliban is resurgent anyway.Taliban retaking Afghanistan makes it much more likely Islamic terrorism will breed there. You can argue that's an ideology but if a group with that ideology are in control of the country then that country becomes a potential breeding ground.
Just like the US is a breeding ground for right-wing nutjobs to go on shooting sprees.
Johnson was talking yesterday about a be a change of Government in Afghanistan, like it's the sort of change we have here after a general election.Taliban retaking Afghanistan makes it much more likely Islamic terrorism will breed there.

Honestly woke up so annoyed about Afghanistan and I guess many ex/ military personnel will be the same
Lives lost , regions fucked up , peoples lives altered , suicide , mental health problems of thousands of young men and women , innocent people including children dead , refugee crisis ..
And for what
So pissed off
2 friends who took there own lives after going to this shit hole ..Blair and Bush living the life of luxury leaving a trail of destruction , its devastating
20 years of resources, unnecessary loss of life for both soldiers and civilians - how have the Taliban managed to captured an entire country in 7 days?
Not even against drugs. Worse than the French.
they didn’t do too bad against us tbf

I thought that but then remembered they weren’t technical America then so it doesn’t count (that’s my excuse )

Almost under the wheels, hundreds of them , danger of getting sucked into the engine's etc.I've seen a video of people falling off the side of American military plane, just desperate
Think we fucked our chances of winning that war pretty early on and the appearance of a french fleet basically swung Yorktown for the yanks and brought the end. From what i remember from my uni days the Russians piled in on us at one point too.Well 80% of the original American settlers were from British blood .
They also had the help of France, Spain and the Dutch to win a war against what was actually a small British force tbh at peak was 48,000

Not sure if anyone has seen this, but I thought this article was quite interesting on how the Afghan army essentially dissolved.
Why did the Afghan army disintegrate so quickly?
The billions spent by the US and NATO on the Afghan military could not fix major internal flaws.www.aljazeera.com
How this stuff was ignored when factored into the withdrawal plans is shocking.
What! But but Boris lad promised he wouldn’t at the last GE.Sorry to change tack completely , but i see sunak is after the triple lock pension.
Didnt this do for Theresa May (apart from brexit ) ? Quite a dangerous move sunak could be making here....for him and us.

We already have one of the worst pensions in Europe, even this “anomaly” year wouldn’t change that. It’s a cop out to “level up”. Barely a month since he made that speech. Clearly just more Boris bluster.Think it makes sense as a one off tweak. Wage growth is currently 7-8% due to Covid. Difficult to ask everyone to tighten belts and then increase pensions by that amount. It’s an anomaly year.
As well as Brexit, think it was the social care proposal that did for May (an issue still to come for the government !)...and just a generally shit manifesto and campaign, which lost her majority
