I think the problem with the withdrawal is that we either need a local government capable of holding things together, even if only briefly, or the Taliban to mostly remain passive until the withdrawal is completed. Originally Posted by Thekri
In the latter case it would mean everything, troops, assets, civilians, diplomats etc.
Because if there is no deal with the Taliban and the Afghan government doesn't have the means to not fall apart within a day, the withdrawal would make the Fall of Saigon+The Yugoslav Ethnic cleansing look like a walk in the park.
There's the question of what will happen with all the Afghan Army gear? All the stuff the US can't necessarily just load onto a jet a fly out, what happens to the civilians?
Not to mention the fucking horrible optics of US forces turning their backs as the Taliban would start revenge killing schoolgirls down the street.
There's also the question of how would Pakistan react to the ensuing chaos?
I think the main point of the negotiations is to delay the inevitable chaos as long as possible and to mitigate the fallout as much as possible.
Pretending the Taliban won't be the real rulers of Afghanistan sooner or later really gets us nowhere. By talking to them perhaps, just perhaps, some of the fallout can be reduced.

(Oh wait)
It's all political with Trump, he doesn't care if it kills his base and only his base in the process. As long as something he endorses gets pushed out before the elections he will claim victory while bitching about how the evil Democrats are asking why only his base are dying to the vaccine.
Edit: What ever happened to the vaccine that Putin was pushed to phase 3 again because you know Trump was taking notes and eating them.Last edited by noidentity; 2020-09-12 at 03:22 AM.

Even if Trump loses, we're going to need much more than regulations on companies. Originally Posted by arandomuser

Well, "200k" is the first reply I see to that tweet. So there is some justice in the world, at least. Originally Posted by UnifiedDivide

Since Trump was always more of a game show guy than anything else, think we can convince him to do something for ratings to commemorate the upcoming occasion? 200,000th person to die gets a free hat? Or maybe a T-shirt that says "When I said I'd rather die than vote for Hilary, I meant it."
Seriously speaking though... I'm actually curious. In American history, what is the highest amount of deaths that can be attributed to the actions/inactions of a single person? Does Trump have it beat yet?

Jefferson Davis led the Confederacy to war against the rest of his fellow Americans, leading to the deaths of 600,000 Ameicans -- about 2% of the US population at the time. Originally Posted by Nastard

At time of writing, the Trump Death Clock's toll is 115, 247, an effective tie in Amercan deaths with World War I.

Little ol’ me is trying to get “Trump lied, 200000 died” to catch on... It works a lot better when juxtaposed with Benghazi... Originally Posted by Nastard

They've been trying the crying about a teleprompter method, now Benghazi, soon emails, fist bumps = thug, etc. They will recycle their greatest hits because that is literally all they have to run with. Originally Posted by UnifiedDivide

Going to enjoy the meltdowns from leftists when Trump wins again. Glorious. Unfourtunantly the meltdowns will come in the form of violence.. but that's pretty par the course right nown when it comes to these rabid marxist loons.

It's an interesting position to take. In direct contradiction to all available facts, of course. But I suspect you're one of those people for whom feelings are much more important than facts. You feel like the left are responsible for the violence, so you'll ignore the fact that right wing murders out-weigh left wing murders by a significant margin. Originally Posted by Reyuna

Isn’t the violence already here, under Trump? Guess I’ll start... Originally Posted by Reyuna

I don’t know... I think discussing how violence if Trump wins again, is going to be different than violence under Trump, is legitimate. How much violence do we expect under Trump? Is the death count going to be more or less than 200000? Originally Posted by Belize
