Are you rooting for the Taliban?

Of course. The only Afghan regime to have ever seriously repressed the opium trade will further it if allowed to retake the country. Keeping the opium trade from getting any worse requires the continued existence of the regime that caused it to flourish.The Taliban funds most of its operations through opium sales. If they take over from the Afghan government, opium cultivation and trade out of Afghanistan will explode.

And this technicality matters because?It flourishes *illegally* under the current regime.
I don't know much about Columbia specifically, but given what I know about Latin America generally, the best thing for Columbia would probably be a military coup. I'm not aware of them having any extra-governmental organization capable of running the country (unlike Afghanistan).Do you think the “US puppet government” in Colombia should be overthrown and replaced by narcoterrorists too?
I'd expect the Taliban in power to pursue the same agenda it did twenty years ago. They don't seem like the type to change their POV easily.The Taliban doesn’t repress opium any more. They actively support its cultivation and trade. Do you think they are going to magically start hating money if they came to power?

I used the phrase "capable of running" as a factual descriptor, not a comment on the quality or character of governance.How exactly is the Taliban “capable of running” Afghanistan? Want to review the years they were in charge? Shall we call that your standard of a government that is “capable”?

You obviously care very deeply about how Afghanistan is governed.The Taliban was not in any factual way “capable of running” Afghanistan. They were capable of slaughtering women and children, cutting off the country from the outside world, destroying any building taller than 2 stories, and fighting multiple overlapping civil wars in less than 10 years.

The Taliban did not orchestrate 9/11.Indeed. Having it governed by the people who armed and supported folks who murdered 3,000 Americans is something I oppose quite deeply.
If it were up to me the 9/11 hijackers would never have been allowed into the country. It's on your ilk that they were able to attack us.But since you for some reason as an “American Nationalist” hate America, I can see why the murder of your fellow citizens wouldn’t matter to you. Given that a significant portion of those people were brown, you probably cheered.

9/11 was a direct consequence of USG's lax immigration laws. Sorry you don't like the facts.If it were up to you America would be just another fascist hellhole, we know.

USG let the 9/11 terrorists in. The attack couldn’t have happened without their policy of indiscriminately admitting people into the country who have no business being here. As I said, sorry you don't like the facts.No, 9/11 was the result of the actions of psychotic terrorists.....nothing more. Even if the US didn’t accept a sing,e immigrant for the rest of....forever, really....it would still have terrorist attacks.
But I get that you are too busy fantasizing about turning the US into another fascist hellhole to grasp that.
USG voluntarily let the 9/11 terrorists in. As I said, sorry you don't like the facts.
USG knew that Middle Eastern Muslims were planning to attack us and still chose to let people from that part of the world enter the country without any compelling reason. That they didn’t know which particular ones were going to do it is of no consequence.The US government didn’t know that they were planning on conducting mass murder when they entered the country. Hate to break it to you bud.

There is another power even more interested in turning Central Asia into a road.Correct, but the “Stans” allow our forces to transit. Considering how difficult it was for Central Asia to get its independence from Russia in the first place, they likely wouldn’t want to give the Russians free rein to turn them into a road.
This right here is the problem with USG and its supporters. They are more concerned with the convenience of foreigners than the well being of Americans.You do realize that there are hundreds of millions of people in the Middle East? And the overwhelming majority of them don’t harm anyone? The fact that they didn’t know who the actual attackers were is the WHOLE POINT.

If Americans have to die for the sake of diversity, that's just a price worth paying, huh?Yeah, you’d hang a giant “Whites Only” sign on the country.

So far as I know, the U.S. is involved in only one war -- Afghanistan.
If you know different, please enlighten us.
