Here is my super hot take, and really hope this doesn't get me moderated, because I do think it's an extreme take. But I think extreme measures are necessary here. I would have perpetuated an old school war.

Sent in ALL of our troops, evacuated all citizens to a safe zone (or given temporary refuge in America), then slaughtered the Taliban, and then finally returned power over to the Afghanistan government.

I honestly think we've could have acheived the above in about 6 months. But it would have been old school levels of bloody war to acheive.

Then we could have kept a light presence to help facilitate the building of Afghanistan's own infrastructure, and then we could have left completely.

However, we spent 20 years doing absolutely nothing. Just spending money to maintain appearances. Now 24hrs after withdrawing the country has completely reverted back to its extremist ways, and the Taliban is free to murder and abuse thousands of citizens, especially women. Given the fact that we spent all this time pissing them off it's only a matter of time before they start to retaliate.

We should have ended this war a long time ago, not by pulling out, but by actually winning the war. Purging the Taliban, and saving the Athgan people from terriany

You don't win wars through PR campaigns, and 20% action. You either win it through force, or you don't start the war in the first place. So many women doomed to a living death almost instaneously. My heart weeps for them.

This is probably a hot take here, but I supported the war against the Taliban. I just didn't support how it was handled. So much money wasted to do absolutely nothing. We spent 300m a day, that's about 50k per person for every person that lives in Afghanistan.

We would have been better off just gifting each of them actually 50k - would of had a more positive affect than what we actually accomplished...which was nothing but a bunch of American casualties.

When I was younger I used to truly believe we were the greatest nation ever

It's because of that damn indoctrinated pledge of allegiance we are all forced to recite or face punishment.

Youre against the idea of nation-states, not immigration.

It's not the same?

Because everyone is different.
That's why people can't simply live and work wherever they want because there will always be someone who has trouble accepting that people are different, come from different parts of the world, view the world differently...

If you don't conform to a certain mindset certain parts of the world will have trouble indoctrinating you to their society.

I mean states are different. I live in San Francisco, I'm from Phoenix, and born Boston. All three of those places are polar opposite.

Despite New York & Omaha being 100% different in culture, they are still two sides of the same coin because they are part of the same nation.

Just make Earth, one Nation under all.

We make Earth the only nation on earth.
What do you do with that one nation that has 4% of the population, but 5% of all the firearms, and about half of all the atom bombs?

I don't understand. It's one nation. Why would it matter?

Let's say we melt all nations together, tomorrow. How do we deal the 120% firearms ownership rate of United States?

What?

Why do we have nations?
think on that.

I mean why do we continuously fight to preserve nations. Back in our last we were territorial conquerors/colonizers...

... shouldn't we be trying to evolve as humanity evolves, and this be moving away from borders? Why are we trying to preserve them?

It just doesn't make any sense to me. I should be able to walk right into Mexico and purchase an apartment if I do desired. Vice versa, they should be able to do the same.

What's the point of it all?

Wait so are you for immigration or against it?

Your topic title implies one way but your first post implies the other.

What?

Nations exist.
That's why going to another nation is usually not easy.

But why not?

Why exactly can't people just live & work wherever the fuck they want. The whole concept of anti immigration seems to have it's roots in nationalism...aka racism.
