The opposition was mostly murdered by the Taliban before and after the fall. The military aid we gave the Afghans was also entirely fake and we allowed it be stolen.

But then people in this thread have the arrogance to come in here and go on rants about how it's all the Afghans' fault when we literally occupied their country for 20 fucking years and achieved nothing. The US is fully responsible for his situation.

It's disgusting to see Americans attack Afghans in this thread because they're butthurt that a woman said Afghans were forgotten, which they absolutely were. No wonder so many people in the world hate us.
