They are being genocided despite his reference to you. The goal of the occupier is the destruction of a group of people, either by having them interned indefinitely, by forcing them to leave (again) or simply butchering them.

Genocide historian Segal says the intent is there.

Very Macron-like of him.

Canada had paedophile and state-run genocide camps masquerading as schools for Indiginous children well into the 70s!!! This is clearly an extension of that mindset. The Canadian government is sick.

Also a great hack to lower your personal rate of inflation.

That’s cool. My peice had to said, because the rightwing types were benefitting from the silence or disagreement of people like myself who want no more intervention.

Wall Street funded them bro.

You use text-based social media and deride reading?

:(

They are liberals with paper thin corporate-friendly politics.

That user who suggested we ‘help’ is either malicious or ignorant. Because help doesn’t mean we release the reserves of money we’ve stolen from the Afghans. It means invade them again, whether she means it or not.

The best thing we can do now is let the Afghans be sovereign and no longer interfere (which won’t happen). You can expect nothing good socially from there, as the Americans helped the Taliban defeat local progressive and secular forces in the 70s. All we can hope for is for them to eventually stand up on their own two feet.

Anyone who whines about the plight of Afghan women is either doing propaganda or is misled. Afghan women have children too btw - children that are starving - have Biden release the reserves.

Feels like a geopolitical issue more than a religious issue.

The downvotes are probably because you seem to ‘ignore’ the US role in arming the Taliban.

The soviets didn’t even like them iirc. Very sad situation all round.

They weren’t good because they were reds. They weren’t even really RU/SU-aligned. They were good because they were progressive and also happened to be neutral in terms of foreign affairs. But they learnt that the US funded the taliban and that’s why the reds were invited in. The US got word. And disaster ensued.

Rebuilding translates to funding the lavish lifestyles of our puppets. Very colonial.

Fight your own fights.

Agree with all but this. We did start it. And we’ll learn no lessons.

Sadly Bill Clinton and Tony Blair backed Putin initially. It’s not totally the people’s fault.

Poor kitties!

You should brush up on the history of the Middle East and colonialism, if you’re going to say something like that.

The Ottoman Empire was founded in 1299 according to google, and formally ended in 1922. We’re only a hundred and one years away, about a single lifetime, from this empire, dimwit. And Turkey survives today as a regional power and a useful US ally.

edit: people downvoting me are ineffectual cucks.

You don’t deserve respect when you go out and harass and insult strangers. Being a refugee and insulting your host country is even worse in my opinion. Deport those snakes, they obviously miss home.

To which my point was the threat of deportation discourages them from speaking out about any abuses, or criticising wrongdoing as a normal citizen of the country ought to.

And: I’m concerned at what I see as an over-focus on social liberalism; it muddies the waters for the actual problem of poverty and marginalisation. It’s proven that people become less open to newcomers and ideas when their economic circumstances take a hit - and Europe has a racist tendency of shoving immigrants in poor neighbourhoods to keep them out of sight and poor. So in many cases we’re blaming the victims.

I said I’d be fine with deporting refugees that use asylum deceitfully to push their agenda, but that’s probably unrealistic and would probably be used to hurt innocents.

Yeah. I hope you see the threat of deportation discourages them from speaking out about any abuses, or criticising wrongdoing as a normal citizen of the country ought to.

I’ve already said I understand your wariness of Christian fundamentalists.

I’m simply concerned at what I see as an over-focus on social liberalism; it muddies the waters for the actual problem of poverty and marginalisation. It’s proven that people become less open to newcomers and ideas when their economic circumstances take a hit - and Europe has a racist tendency of shoving immigrants in poor neighbourhoods to keep them out of sight and poor.

In the UK Christianity has massively declined, and yet they have a decade of no growth, stagnation, a third of children missing meals and Victorian diseases are back.
