When a liar and imbecile makes a deal with radical, religious extremists this is what we end up with. Should be of no surprise to anyone.

You mean the faux peace deal... It wasn't really a deal when the Afghan government wasnt' really consulted about the terms.

Well you know the POTUS said he had a good conversation with a Taliban leader and this was a historic moment, just like North Korea ; What a joke ! Pull out and let them handle their own business, we are in no position to tell anyone else how to run their country, with the chaos we have going on here

It is a bs deal. First, while I understood our invasion to punish the Taliban, we fucked up by trying to do democratic nation building. We have lost all our allies from Afghanistan who welcomed us and are simply handing the nation back over to the Taliban. We should have gone in, beat up on the Taliban and allowed the Northern Alliance to take a more moderate control. Not everyone wants to be Amerika, especially now.

The U.S. will eventually leave Afghanistan to live with its own chaos. No external force -- in all of history -- has every assumed control of Afghanistan or imposed peace upon it.

You can never have peace with a group especially religious as the Islamic Taliban!!!

Any one not a within their Islamist sect member is their outright enemy!!!

Islam is male dominated tribal groups in Afghanistan, there has never been peace within the last three thousand years in the mountain country of Afghanistan!!!

The Taliban leadership will do anything to rid Afghanistan of all Western influences, women’s rights, and tolerance of other religious faiths which out date Islam in Afghanistan!!!

There can never be a peaceful resolution!!!

The Russians tried, the British tried, and Alexander the Great tried to name a few you tried to conquer Afghanistan!!

If it were not for the huge deposits of Rare Earth minerals, the US would have left Afghanistan a long time ago!!!

Peace and air strikes!

The Taliban are doing this all wrong. They need to lay low until we vacate the country and then they can talk the entire country over again.

Further proof that it's foolish to trust in these things.
There is so little actual logic being employed by any of the parties involved.

Of course there will be never peace while an empire is trying to keep a country half world apart politically unstable.

Has there ever been peace? Truly? It's so depressing, the status quo for so long now.

Well that didn't last long. The mullah must not have sent him a love letter like Little Rocket Man.

Had drinks with a business associate in Singapore during desert storm, he said biggest joke going around was the Americans were paying for both sides in the war.

We need to make peace, education, civility, and good ecology profitable, else we will never get it...

Silly rabbits, we said Piece Deal!

I think they are peacing wrong.

I have always wondered US presidents send young men to go fight their wars on the other side of the planet and call it fighting for our freedoms.
Excuse me, but in Viet Nam those people had no means of attacking us here at home. The same for these other groups in the middle east. Seems to me if we left them alone there would be no one to fight. They just want us out to allow them to forge their own destiny w/o US intervention. Sounds reasonable ro me. But isn't this the reason why we have a united nations? We don't have to be out there with our military acting unilaterally wasting blood & money.
We should insist any wars outside American soil should be agreed upon by lazy ass Congress and not on impulse by any president.

We are now the bad guys, the rest of the world sees it. India, China and Russia are all pushing full on ahead with ramping up their military forces. For offense or defense? Who knows, but at this level they are sort of the same thing.

It's not much of a peace deal if we're still bombing them

The Taliban is fragmented chaos not surprised

Peace does not bring about prosperity. Somebody needs to be actively making something akin to armaments as we try to control that factor and also drugs.

There probably needs to be common ground for agreement for that to happen.

Superficially that seems unlikely but we also don’t know what is happening at a deeper level of negotiation.

To think critically, for whose benefit does peace in the region support and is there sufficient compensation for the other party to agree?
