    Yeah, like what do they expect? Another foreign military intervention?

    That will not happen again for decades at best. Longer if all the developed nations really learn from America’s mistake this time.

    Sure, we can sanction them, but any aid just gets intercepted, so that’s out. It sucks so many Afghans are suffering under the system, but it’s the system they let happen. Did they want to be an occupied country forever? Was this a fight America was expected to wage indefinitely? Twenty years was already too long.
