CityPopPakistan bombs Kabul in 'open war' on Afghanistan's Taliban government

Afghanistan has basically always been a warzone. The territory there changed hands fairly often, especially after Alexander, centuries before it became the area identified as Afghanistan today.
The feuds between people groups there are from long before “Western nations” were even a thing. Some of them pre-date recorded history. The biggest mistake any Western nation has made is believing they could somehow establish peace by getting involved in conflicts older than Rome. The West can certainly be blamed for being foolish, for meddling, for not really helping in any way… but not for starting the fight. The responsible parties are long dead, their remains crumbled to dust.
☂️-Yes exponentially worse making sure women could go to school and trying to set up some form of government that the people could have participation in…
Certainly a lot went wrong and a lot was corrupt but “exponentially worse” sounds like an ignorant blanket statement with no basis in reality. The Taliban would’ve taken over immediately anyhow after the northern alliance fell and brought what’s happening today just all the way back in 2001. To me, the Taliban rule is exponentially worse than the resulting years of moderate improvement up til now.
Well it makes Nazis and their ilk better, but it certainly doesn’t make them respect women and democracy.
respect your own woman and democracy before worrying about other countries.
Only perfect beings are allowed to criticize others, after all.
Not a justification for invasion unless perhaps at a genocidal level, obviously, though one might ask why it is that, hypothetically, a state might justify invading to liberate workers from capitalist pigs and not women from gender chatteldom.
