    A lot is foreign policy based. I’m not going to defend the Iraq War but a lot of pro-Russia people will ignore that Russia and Iran actually supported the war in Afghanistan to the point where basically the whole world minus Pakistan was ok with the Taliban being ousted. Like, Afghanistan was already in a state of war when the US came in and helped the actual Northern Alliance reclaim power. I will say the US got a little overboard in not getting a peaceful solution to Afghanistan in 2001 after the Taliban were smashed.

      Weren’t the Northern Alliance just a bunch of jumped-up warlords? Also if the Taliban were smashed, why are they in power now? Fucking fascists.

        Oh so anybody who accidentally conducts a brutal 20 year long occupation is a fascist now? You slip up one time and kill hundreds of thousands of people because you forget what you were supposed to be doing and suddenly you’re a bad person?
