And the brave women trying to get an education there.
If the U.S. actually gave a shit about women's rights it wouldn't ally with Saudi Arabia (and a dozen other countries) and wouldn't have funded and armed fundamentalist Muslims throughout the 70s and 80s.
The U.S. view of human rights generally is that they are occasionally a useful rhetorical cudgel for browbeating skeptical liberals into supporting the war du jour.
Cannot argue against that. Much in the same way the EU bought Russian gas and oil after the invasion of Ukraine. Necessity is a burden sometimes.
The adults in the room make hard descision get things done sweaty
Incredible own goal here my man
In your opinion.
welcome to my block list.
The US created the people keeping women from getting an education
Youve got neutron star for brains
If the west allowed the Soviet Union to bring socialism to Afghanistan, the Mujahadeen would have been a footnote in the pages of history. If you agree with no other part of the USSR, the social and gender equality aspects are surely better than current Russia/Afghanistan. Instead we have Osama doing what he did
Damn, maybe America shouldn't have funded the fucking Mujahideen of Afghanistan to overthrow the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan who delivered to the women of Afghanistan their right to choose who to marry, where to work, right to education, and political rights.
Historically illiterate dipshit
Maybe if Russia/Stalin had not decided to annex half of Europe there would not have been a cold war. These people decided to sleep with the Russians. The enemy of your enemy is your friend.
