Taliban fighters could isolate Afghanistan's capital in 30 days and possibly take it over within 90, a U.S. defence official cited U.S. intelligence as saying, as the resurgent militants made more advances across the country.

          Every invasion, fewer and fewer locals are willing to work with the US as the history repeats, still feel horrible for the people who decided liberals would be less terrible than fundamentalists and are going to be killed because the Americans pretend nothing can be done because of paperwork.

          Immigration and full rewards as a veteran of the US Military should be bare minimum if they have you as a local translator/collaborator.

          But really America should stop with the invasions, they are horrible at actually occupying territory, only good at killing people.

          I mean, the US could always just give him asylum here. But nope! Biden and the DNC want to win over those white suburban reactionaries, and they're not too crazy about having some brown person move in next door, sooooo....

          I think they know we’re committed to leaving at this point. But they want to make us feel bad about leaving. They don’t want to set the precedent that us leaving is a good thing. Every withdrawal is supposed to be a tragedy and a failed opportunity
