Women in Afghanistan are fucked whether the US is there or not. We're celebrating the fact that America is failing to turn the whole country into a giant meat grinder.
Yep. Personally I think the only reason we're in Afghanistan is for it's strategic value vis-a-vis Xinjiang. As someone else said, Central Asia is the new "great game" and a presence in Afghanistan is crucial to that.
If the US would care about women's rights, it would supply weapons and GPS to Rojava's YPJs.
To create a stronghold of women's rights and further that influence so that YPJs are also created in Iraq, in Iran, in Afghanistan, in Pakistan,..., in the USA, in France, in Germany, in the UK.
Yes. Suposedly they have become more moderate. They used to ban women from leaving their houses. Now they say they're willing to accept women in most government positions. Though, those statements came as part of the peace process, so they could be lies. I'd play it safe and say the Taliban is somewhere between ISIS and Saudi Arabia in women's rights.
Still, the US is in no position to do anything about this (not that they really care in the first place). If you can't build a stable, popular political system that includes women's rights, you can't protect women. America's failure to achieve such a system in Afghanistan is why the Taliban is winning.

America cares as much about women's rights in Afghanistan as it does about women's rights in its ally Saudi Arabia: none.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Who made that comment about Central Asia? I think it’s 100% correct

For women’s rights to be at risk, they would need to exist in the first place.

War zones are pretty terrible for women's rights.

So the us spent 2 trillion and 20 years and all they got was 👏🏻more👏🏻women👏🏻in👏🏻charge👏🏻of👏🏻oppressive👏🏻governments 👏🏻
lmao.
IDK how oppressive the Afghan government is. Certainly less than the Taliban. I'd say it's probably more corrupt than oppressive.
The oppressiveness is probably left up to the CIA ghouls swarming the country.
