Nothing says Quagmire, like we have to kill all of them
Not sure why we havenāt learned our lesson.
Iām pretty hawkish in general but also know we have to be practical and learn from the past. Thatās been my concern with this war from the jump.
So weāre negotiating with leaders we donāt recognize
Taliban 2.0
Great stuff
Yeah, thereās that too.
Negotiating with the Taliban without Afghanistanās legitimately elected government at the table, and effectively throwing them under the bus, was one of Trumppās BIGGEST follies.
That said, at least Taliban leadership was always fair game. No one had qualms about dropping bombs on them.
I donāt see why other terrorists that helped kill Americans like the Ayatollahs Ahmajenidad should be treated differently.
Yep, seems like a pretty silly argument to make
People should fight their own battles.
Saying so is like doing something when bad things happen.
This was always a bait thread for the LRPFS

Starting at 9:30 it gets very interesting
Care to give us a summary of what we might find interesting there?
Iāve found āinterestingā to be a very subjective term in this political forum.
Well, that is because āinterestingā is a subjective term in all respects - not just on Coogfans or with politics.
What I was asking is what is the it that Coach V thinks is very interesting that we would get from watching the video, like what is he trying to share and add to the discussion besides āhey go watch this random 2 hour video I choseā.
Interesting
The dismantling of the British Imperial system
The relationship with Erdogan & Turkey
Whatās being left out of the Iran and Ukraine discussions
Among others
Letās not go too far into anything in that video. Itās highly political.
Not really. Strictly geopolitical/global economic strategy
What ?
You must just be on the networks of the communists and marxists !
(quote from video)
Gotta love the boomers.
Just like deciding what is interesting or not, deciding what is politcal or not is also subjective. This thread is full of politics, when not insulting the participants.
Come on, itās very partisan. No need to argue about it though.
High level is fine, but stay away from the clear politics.
