How did Biden's nukes and F-16s work out?

Don't kid yourself. The war in Afghanistan could have been won. Won as in the stated goal of defeating the Taliban and establishing a western style democracy. It would have come at a huge cost in civilian lives that the American public would not have been able to stomach, just like during the Vietnam war. Don't confer that I am for this, just that it could have been done.

And there could be pink unicorns that fart flower-scented rainbows, too. There really could be.

In your own post, you even explained why the U.S. would not win, despite that it "could" have.

So who is kidding whom?

NO PHUCKING WAY..

You can impose any "Government" you want,, and you can not subjugate those people.

They will resist you and kill you at first opportunity..

This has been historically repeated.. They do not want your corruption in their lands.

The only reason Afghanistan is the way it is is because that is the way they want it. They want it able to manufacture Terrorism. Terrorism that WE fund and pay for. Why? It validates their job existence.

You're right but I think the more fundamental lesson is (the Mask in this case is the Taliban);

Nope (see above). Unless with a 'huge cost in civilian lives' you mean exterminating most of the population ?

Quite frankly there may be no lessons to be learned from afghanistan , I say that because I think the people involved with it at the highest levels are dumbfounded by a predictable result , or think they got part of what they think they were after (. )

So the American public couldn't stomach the cost in civilian lives on the other side of the world, but they will be able to stomach those losses here? Interesting theory

Short answer, yes. Enter village ask who is Taliban. If they don't give them up, bomb the place flat. Move on to the next one.

establishing a western style democracy.

Hmmm, curious here: what kind of western style democracy are you talking about?

One as envisioned by the founders of limited government, sacrosanct individual liberty, property rights, free markets and sound money?

Or the zombie nightmare that dream has turned into, one of graft, corruption, occupation, war, taxation, tyranny and sleaze being run in part by insane fat men in dresses and fake tits swearing you must call them a woman, under penalty of law if you do not?

The second one. The ideas this country were founded on are dead. It's over and all is lost. It's about survival now.

Muhammad over there is Taliban (and by Taliban I mean I bear him a personal grudge and would like you to hurt him for me.) There was never a war in Afghanistan, just 20 years of human sacrifice.

Exterminating a population isn't war, its genocide.

On what Authority?

"Might makes Right" just got their A$$s handed to them.

Yeah. I thought about those people that hung on the C-130 as it took off and then fell to their deaths. I thought...."If you hate the idea of living under the Taliban that much then when don't you just pick up a gun and stand and fight? I think a bullet would be an easier death." Then I realized "It's the city folks (airplane clingers) versus the country folks (Taliban)."

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Occam's Banana again.
