I'm not saying we should or shouldn't but it's way more calculated than this article let's on.
With us gone and the joke that was the corrupt GIRoA we stood up dead, it is the Taliban or the wild west. The Taliban themselves did not blow up the world trade center - I mean the jews did - but even in narrative it was al Qaeda not the Taliban. The Taliban has no interest in "global jihad" and has always only focused on Afghanistan. So we would rather have them the Islamic State or some other rolling in and taking over.
By the way, even in the narrative the "Well the Taliban sheltered AQ and bin Laden," is flawed. Cause what is always left out is the when the U.S. said, "Give us UBL," the Taliban didn't say no, they said, "Ok, sure, just show us the evidence please." Then the US said, "No, invasion!"
So, I prolly don't really have that much against the Taliban.
While I don't like their allah shit, their stance on the homos and women's place in the world and how everyone should stay the fuck in their own country with their own kind is kinda reasonable.
Mostly my concern is US taxpayers seem to subsidize the third world when we need to take care of ourselves. Then take a look at remittances. I understand remittances are legal and all, but there is a ton of US money being sent to third world countries. It's concerning that some countries GDP are made up of over 25% with only remittances from the US. Think about that for a minute.
