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?

Woody Grego

Chen Eason You forgot to mention they also killed 250,000 people and replaced the Taliban with the Taliban.

Ned Ma
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.

Woody Grego
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.

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

The Qarmatians (Al-Qaramita)

By Nadeem Mahjoub Documentary film-makers G. Troeller and M. C. Defarge once asked a cabinet minister in South Yemen, why socialistic ideas were so readily acceptable in that part of the Arab world. He replied: “Because we have been communists for a thousand years! My mother was Qarmatian.” Official Muslim scholars and clerics, and many so-called moderates (whether individuals or groups) oppose sedition ( fitna ). Tensions and contradictions in society should be solved peacefully and even if the ruler was unjust and impious, it is generally accepted he should still be obeyed, for any kind of order is better than anarchy and sedition. “The tyranny of a sultan for a hundred years causes less damage than one year’s tyranny exercised by the subjects against one another.” Revolt was justified only against a ruler who clearly went against the command of God and His prophet.” 1 Here we look at not what happened in the minds of people who call for calm, oppose dissent and preach the re...

"A second position argues against transition, which is transitology itself. It is well known—especially among economists—as the sudden mobilization of a considerable mass of experts who are generally foreigners,generally Western, who come to preach the good word and to propose ready-made models of democracy. The science of the transition has become a financial windfall, a market. And the word transition has of course become a reflex of language, a term of reference, a call for tenders ( appel d’offres ) to which the whole society was supposed to respond.  Consequently, the reticence that one can express is the following: our history is framed, transition is a heteronomy. Every democratic revolution is henceforth supposed to take a unique, imposed path, which is, at the same time, indistinctly democratic and liberal (or neoliberal). A more or less non-“negotiable” package.  It is necessary to highlight the imposed character (and imposed from the outside) of this coming to t...

Finance

"The hegemony of finance—the most fetishized form of wealth—is only maintained by the public authorities’ unconditional support. Left to itself, fictitious capital would collapse; and yet would pull down the whole of our economies in its wake. In truth, finance is a master blackmailer. Financial hegemony dresses up in the liberal trappings of the market, yet captures the old sovereignty of the state all the better to squeeze the body of society to feed its own profits. " (my emphasis) —Cédric Durand, Ficticious Capital , 2017, p. 155

Against Authoritarianism and Neoliberalism in Venezuela

“The current confrontation in Venezuela today is not between left and right.” “We are witnessing the transition from a government with authoritarian tendencies to a dictatorial regime.” “This is not a government ‘backed’ by the military, but, as Maduro himself has said, the government is led by a ‘civilian-military-police alliance’. “Those who continue to support Maduro, including parties and movements of the Sao Paulo Forum or the spokespersons of Podemos in Spain, are causing severe damage to the left in the region and the world. They are damaging anti-capitalist struggles in the broadest sense.” The US embargo is ‘in violation of international law’. This is a useless statement repeated a million times, and it has come back again during the ongoing Israel’s genocidal war. “[A]fter the failure of the current, self-defined “socialist” governments, Venezuelan society tends to associate any reference to socialism or the left with the corruption and authoritarianism of the Maduro governme...
