Same kind of people who insist America didn't lose Vietnam or Korea.
"Muh K:DRs. Muh domestic stab-in-the-back. Back-to-back world War champions."
To add another layer to the delusion, I've seen people blame the Afghan people because "we spent decades training and arming them but they're still unable to defend themselves." People don't become loyal to a puppet regime of an invading country just because you give them guns and pretend like you're doing them a favor.
“we spent decades training and arming them but they’re still unable to defend themselves."
This is like a parent complaining that their child wasn't raised right -- just the cleanest own goal
For real, I'm seeing the lib-to-fash pipeline in action with these takes.
"We poured everything into Afghanistan and they still can't build a functioning democracy? Guess they just aren't 'culturally' compatible with democracy in the first place."
I can only conclude that her tweet means the US is the definition of microscopic dick energy
It's pretty great how people are reacting to Afghanistan like we lost a heated game of Call of Duty
The Middle-East is the last loot box in the world and America really needs that hat that looks like a headcrab
Fuck let's hope the Taliban never got enough of a kill streak to earn themselves a tactical nuke.
Idk, has anyone prominent called Afghanistan the Gamer word? What about telling Afghanistan that they fucked their mom?
Prominent? Not that I know of
But I bet you dollars to donuts that at least one guy in my town has called them the Sand-Gamers
Obviously not a fan of the taliban, but surviving under American occupation for 20 years then taking over an entire country in like 3 days seems like big dick energy to me.
The real question is how they managed to sweep across the country so quickly despite the hindrance of their massive schlongs.
Look up "meanie jerk-faces" in the dictionary and you'll find a picture of the Taliban 😤
They have no choice but to abandon...uhh...looks up a Deobandi-Wahabi theological synthesis...
Fun fact: they were ready to do exactly that in December 2001.

Hamid Karzai, the Pashtun tribal chief who was named at Afghan peace talks in Bonn to lead an interim Afghan government, said that Taliban militants would turn over their arms and ammunition to a council of tribal elders and would be allowed safe passage to their homes. That process, he said, should be completed within a few days.
It was not clear whether the U.S. objections would impede the surrender. Mr. Rumsfeld did say that the U.S. military campaign would continue vigorously, and for some time.
How right he was. He was terrified he'd lose his war, and vigorously opposed the surrender of the Taliban.
Not true. My pee pee is very smol and I would suck as an Islamist militant for a shitload of reasons.
I feel inclined to tell you that Nicole Arbour made this. Includes a reference to the Taliban!
