The United States has spent over $2.3 trillion on the war in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2022. What's achievement for US and Europe?
Chen Eason You forgot to mention they also killed 250,000 people and replaced the Taliban with the Taliban.

Woody Grego they did not replace the Taliban with Taliban. They were defeated and ran away. Taliban took over Kabul with an unprecended speed. The Afghan US-trained army was the first to run away. Britain is an ally of the most violent state in the world and it has a history too. It invaded Afghanistan 3 times, supported the fundamnetalist Mujahidin in the 1979 untill late 1980s.

Ned Ma O look its the Muslim who whines about how great Muslims have been for the UK now speaking as his true self just another Muslim from another sh!thole country.
Ned Ma
Woody Grego Oh look! another prejudiced, bigot. I am not a Muslim or even religious at all. Those who cannot deal with the comment itself or don't like it because it goes against their fundamentalist thinking resort to insults and agression. This page is always very interesting. Compare that to Ronnie Sanders who liked the comment. Why? Because a fact is a fact even when it is said by the devil.
Nick Manning
Ned Ma bad USA, bad Britain. You understand that by this reckoning, the Taliban is Afghanistan. Where you cite the west as being the problem, absolute, you must acknowledge that the Taliban is Afghanistan.
Ned Ma
Nick Manning The Taliban originated in a context – an offshoot of the Mujahidin ('our freedom fighters' at the time). Taliban means students trained in Pakistan, another ally of 'ours'. Mc-Jihad by Thimothy Mitchell will take you to a deeper understanding of the context. Compare the state of women and the state of Afghanistan in the 1960 and 1970s, for example, to before the invasion of the Soviet Union and the West's support of the fundamentalists. I historicise amd contextualise everything. You don't want to because you treat things nationalistically. That is not my academic background. I don't have an allegiance to any state or a region. When I mention the West I mean the major powers, but also those who ally with them including dictatorships – Arab and non-Arab, Eastern and Western states.

Ned Ma Your comment shows exactly what you are just another 3rd world Muslim immigrant adding nothing to the UK.
