President Joe Biden has come under intense fire in recent days from Republicans — including former president Donald Trump — over what the commander in chief admitted Monday has been a "messy"...

 

Today's headline from the Washington Post posted on MSN, " Democrats offer some harsh reviews of Biden on Afghanistan". So it's not just Republicans.

It was a useless war,  20 Years spent there and the Taliban is larger in numbers than what they were 20 Years ago. 

Now it seems the Taliban was the Victor.

Ed--not sure what you mean here-----Europe just invaded Afghanistan???

In 2001, I mean.

Europe had no interests in Afghanistan. It was USA who made a questionable* link between Taliban and Al-Quida, and USA somehow argued that 9/11 was an attack on your nation from Afghanistan, so you demanded that all NATO-countries ought to wage war on Afghanistan. It is actually the only time the NATO article has been used. Now we have wasted 20 years of money and resources on occupying this country. We went to war for you, for your security, for your vengeance. We too lost many lifes in this war we had nothing to do with. Think about that the next time you hear conservative Americans complain about Europe not paying for their own security. In addition to this, it is also Europe who has to handle the hoards of refugees that comes from all your wars down there. Remember that the next time you or someone else are discussing NATO, and who's paying for whose security. 

*questionable because most of the leader of Al-Quida came from Saudi-Arabia, most of the funding also came from Saudi-Arabia, and it turned out later that Al-Quida was actually hiding and training in Pakistan, not Afghanistan.

What you're complaining about is a small price to pay for your country only providing less than 2% of its GDP to NATO while America provided over 50% of NATO's funding to protect you against Russia and other countries that would love to invade you.

Just sayinnnnnnnn 🤣
