US and NATO wasted billions and lives - Afgan falling to Taliban

[RV Pundit]

Surely the US would have done better - by offering asylum to their 18yrs collaborators - who are facing death and other punishments.

Can NATO offer these people save evacuation? Can they agree with Taliban to let civilians leave -

The US relationship with the Taliban has improved drastically over the past few years.  They basically knowingly left their puppet government to fall.  It's probably a win-win situation for both sides.

Americans don't care about democracy.  If he had rigged himself in and showed he could survive a day without America, they would be fine with him; they love the Saudis just fine.

Yes without kingdoms - getting legitimacy - would have to be some true democratic way or now Taliban islamic way. Taliban at least waves the Koran.If they concentrate on internal affairs and do not contribute to international terror...US could save face.

The double standards where it okay for Saudis to apply Sharia law but not Taliban is where they went wrong.
