Interesting response on the US -Taliban agreement, by Middle East war vet John Burk. His final words about the #2A and the biggest military really is a great point.
The plan calls for a 14 month withdrawal concept. It won’t last. Something will happen. Right now the US is trying to save face with the international community to make it appear that we agreed upon peace. Mutual agreement which doesn’t highlight a winner or loser.
Experts are saying that to even have negotiations with the Taliban gives them international recognition and validation as an organization. Well, they are. We can sit here and hate the Taliban for what they are, but to deny their presence and what they can accomplish through use of terroristic means would be a lie made from a sense of pride. They (many that now comprise the Taliban) are the enemy, no doubt, but an enemy we were once supporting during the Russian occupation. The US turned their backs on them and as a result, this is what you get.
There are more complexities to this whole situation but this is the reality; we’ve been there for 18 years and as a whole dumped over 7 trillion into the Middle East. Once we eventually withdraw, Taliban will be in charge and run it how they see fit. If the people of Afghanistan wish to be a free people, they’re going to have to make it happen. If they don’t, so be it. US interventionism by keeping a presence of force to curb potential war only puts the bait there for exactly that. Remove them and let what chaos ensue-ensue. It’s eventually going to happen.
The Middle East is NOT worth dying for. Take that as you wish, but it’s not worth one more AMERICAN life or tax dollar.
Side note to the anti-2A types that said if the people rose up against the government they would lose because of what the government has, the Taliban just brought the strongest military in the world to the negotiating table. Think on that.
