Maybe this is a dumb question, but I’ve been thinking about it recently. With the Taliban taking back over Afghanistan, I’m trying to see things from a non-American perspective.

Is the Taliban actually a bad organization or do they have a warped image of being evil thanks to America? Are they more comparable to say, Hamas, rather than ISIS?

    Fun fact, The United States wrote a mujahideen textbook for Afghani children and distributed it through the country. It taught ABC’s and also how to build bombs, shoot guns, and perform jihad.

    Everytime they hit a new low they just keep raising the bar

    the USA is like the Michael Jordan of foreign misconduct

      They tried this in China too lmao, got a few people on the school board to distribute textbooks that promoted Turkic nationalism and fundamentalism.

      When the state caught on and recalled all the textbooks and arrested the perpetrators, the western reporting on it was something along the lines of "China silences dissidents and pushes propaganda onto children"
