Gee...you should tell that to the Military leaders and all those currently fighting against the Taliban.
They may be interested in hearing that.

They know, but cant do anything about it. Just as the Russian troops in Syria know, that the US is supplying Al Nursa and others with modern American made anti-tank and ground to air missiles.

You don't know that.

And Trump's personal visits with Putin have been totally scrutinized as nefarious.

So it doesn't matter what the truth is as far as your side is concerned.

Iraq had WMDs in the 1990s ... Condoleeza rice stated that as fact in 2000 that Iraq no longer had chemical weapons

the pentagon and Powell lied by giving the UN fake intelligence on Iraq and it's capabilities

they eventually found some chemical weapons .. in some old shells from the Iran V Iraq war ... ... because they couldn't find WMDs thereason for the invasion was changed to the aim of removing Saddam ... the reality is the biggest killer in Iraq was not Saddam Hussien as people like to think ... US led sanctions under Bill Clinton killed over 500,000 under 5s in the 1990s and Bush's & Blair's "illegal" war in Iraq has caused 1 million more and it is still rising ... and don't get me started on Libya, Syria and Ukraine ... you used extremists to topple stable governments look at the mess Washington and London has made ... thick as thieves springs to my mind




my country wants to remain in the EU 62% of my country men & Women voted to remain in the UK, don't be surprised when the UK ceases to exist in 2 years time

Actually, nobody knows that for certain because, you know, Saddam hindered the UN investigators in charge of getting rid of his stockpiles. The claim that he had "gotten rid of them" seems to have been overly optimistic, especially given the stories that many of his weapons were smuggled over the border into Syria.

You do realize chemical weapons are WMDs right?

Perhaps if Saddam Hussein didn't want sanctions he shouldn't have spent so much time invading his neighbors and committed acts of aggression.

Oh, so don't even bring up the other brutal dictators whose own actions have either led to their downfall or rather nasty civil wars or both? Why not?

If 62% of your countrymen voted to stay in the UK like you claim, why would the UK dissolve.

What would you suggest? Frying Moscow?

We did the same to them when they were in Afghanistan.

I would suggest not pretending they are our friend.

And considering the atrocities they committed in Afghanistan while we were there, we were right to do so.

Trumps best foreign friend, Uncle Vova, is busy arming Taliban that kill our American soldiers.

Russia is helping to rid Syria of ISIS but Russia IS DESTABILIZING THE REGION with money and troops.

Just how much of a friend is Putin to Trump? Have you guys not forgotten the BFB (Big FU***** Bomb) the US landed on Syrian troops when US foreign intelligence found out Syria was planning to kill its own, again?

Some want to push the false 'Putin got Trump elected' narrative to the hilt.

This post is rhetoric, for sure. Is it payback rhetoric to GOPs attempting to prosecute the Fast and Furious strategy where Mexican cartels were given arms by the US government to kill Mexican cartels and killed Americans instead?

Lol. Where do you get this diversionary crap?

This thread is about Putin arming the Taliban that are killing US soldiers. Yes that Putin ... Trumps best buddy.

Why would Trump even think of shaking the hand of the man who sends lethal arms to the Taliban?

Remember Operation Cyclone under the Carter and Reagan administrations? What goes around comes around in the wicked world of Afghan realpolitik. From the Russian perspective your are interfering in their near-abroad and they will do anything they must do to stop that encroachment. You have no more right or justification to be in Afghanistan for the last 16 years than the Soviet Union had to be there from 1979 - 1989. The problem is that you both believe you do have the right to be there. If you want better relations with Russia then you'll have to earn them by adjusting your behaviour. If you don't, and probably even if you do, Russia will remain somewhat antagonistic to the USA and its interests when Russian interests are under threat. Like the two Afghanistan occupations, Crimea and Okinawa are two sides of the same coin. What separates the USA and Russia is not their differences but their common belief that they can legitimately trample over the sovereignty of third-party nations. So enjoy the Manpads and RPG's being shot up your backsides as reciprocity for your own past and present policies. Pay-back is a b***h!

Cheers.

We are supporting the legitimate Afghan Govt. and that makes it the same as Crimea? Russia is a thorn in our side where ever they can. Putin wants to weaken and discredit the US and that is not negotiable.

Legitimate Afghan government? Like the Shah of Iran was legit? Or the several puppet regimes in South Vietnam? :lol:

We should kick them out of their US compounds and slap some sanctions on them. That'll stop 'em.

Or we could just ignore their aggression and pretend we are friends like Trump does. Those are our choices.
