Long over due, Should have happened back in 2011-2012 after Asama bin Laden was killed.

With only bad options left, this was the only one left with a little sign of reason in it. It was another stupid war. Madef is right, it should have been stopped with Bin Laden's killing at the latest. Anything the Europeans claim they wanted to do in Afghanistan, is just clueless disconnection from the harsh reality.



I wonder what the Europeans now will say and do with the Americans leaving. Their presence is not maintained in autarky form the Americans and their logistical capacities and air mobility. I just hope the moral high horse riders in germany do not attempt to stay in afghanistan independently. But you have to expect just anything from them.

I don't like the thought I got or have.

If USA have plan on invading some other country in the furture I hope they have learned their lesson from former invasion of other countries-Like Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and so on.

I doubt that, but their appetite for such expeditions seems to have gone. I think they will not embark on another such adventure any time soon.

If ever again. Their Heinsohnian war index is higher than the Europeans', but taken for itself it is low compared to that of some of their possible adversaries outside Russia or China. And who expected them to ever invade Russia or China?

The future speaks robot and remote-control.

Lessons? We dont need no stinking lessons! About one-sixth of federal spending is going to national defense. Our economy is sorta dependent on that now and would probably collapse if we reduced military spending to a reasonable level that would make more liable to mind our business. We need to something with all those new freedom bombs we keep making.

If the U.S.A. has plans to invade anywhere? It's probably Canada.
Mexico has to many guns in the hands of the Cartels.
Plus the border with Canada is much larger allowing many areas to cross over in a sneak invasion. An added bonus is a nearly common language.

The U.S.A. don't need the oil from the Middle East.
But Canadian Bacon? Yeah. With the bacon craze in the U.S.A. it time to get serious!
The Bacon War!

You're right, Canada needs more freedom and democracy! "Like maple syrup their evil oozes over the U.S."


Let's get those Canadians!

An off topic question

Didn't we have thread about the refugee and immigration problems back in 2015 and on ?

Since Turkey have open their border toward Europe more than 70.000 have passed this border and are now heading towards Europe.

Looks like a new crisis is on its way.

End of an off topic question

Well if Erdoghan continues to bomb Idlib and all those other locations he does not talk of, and then add Russia flattening Damascus for no apparent reason other than to stop protests against Assad, and what happens next.. i can understand people trying to flee.

What should we do, in your opinion?

To be honest I really don't know and I don't know if all of them are Syrian refugees.

In video on twitter a Swedish Politician who are from Middle east asked in this video why those people in the video why they speak perfect Persians when they do not speak that language in Syria.

So the question is how many of these refugees are truly from Syria and Idlib ?

I say that a refugee have the right to protection, while there's a war or similar
going on in their country. When there's peace they shall return.

I could think of
Some kind of camps, which could be build here and there in EU, those camps(I'm thinking like military camps NOT POW)who shall give shelter to those who have fled Syria.
