Afghanistan: the nation in horrifyingly trouble

This is very heartbreaking situation going on in Afghanistan at the moment so I thought I can talk about it by forming my opinion. 🇦🇫😔

I don’t know how to put it into words. Since I am totally against war & intervention. I support the withdrawal (in the non reckless way). However it is not the same thing as leaving the country already in the mess. The risky withdrawal from Afghanistan is not done in the proper & smoothly way. It’s done in the reckless way.

Taliban causing mayhem, gaining grounds in towns and cities in Afghanistan & taking over. Why? Because of the last US president (Donald Trump) who foolishly negotiated the deal with them (Taliban. Islamist terror group). Plus America should never had invaded Afghanistan (& Iraq) in the first place.

Afghanistan & Iraq didn’t attacked America in 9/11 attacks (September 11th 2001) 20 years ago. No wonder the nation (Afghanistan) have history of invasions & occupations as well domestic problems (& vice versa). Example: The Russians in the 80s which was then called USSR/Soviet Union. I imagine US troops might want to stay longer in Afghanistan. Despite Joe Biden insisting that all American troops must pull out of the country. It’s such a shame & sad that war torn country (Afghanistan) is in very awful state. The country in instability. It is such a mess. Shambolic mess. America shouldn’t had invaded Afghanistan in 2001.

The West (particularly NATO, the US & the UK) is to blame for that. The withdrawal is supposed to be done peacefully (since we know that the US troops, UK troops & NATO troops cannot be in Afghanistan forever). Instead, it is done in the chaotic way. 

America’s longest war involvement (the so called War on Terror) since Vietnam. The war & conflict in Afghanistan. The country have really suffered enough as it is really in the mess already. It is now the humanitarian catastrophe. Ordinary Afghans fleeing their lives. Why is the Afghan Govt doing something to fight the Taliban fighters? America should had trained the Afghan govt to deal with the problems domestically. Instead, the situation like this is happening already there. It is catastrophically nightmare for the nation (Afghanistan). And what have America, Britain & other countries (who are members of NATO) have done to improved the lives of the Afghan people in the last 20 years apart from going after and eradicating Al Qaeda & Bin Laden? They (the West) have not helped Afghanistan. Not at all in my opinion. 

Invading & occupying the nation. Not helping the Afghans & then the sudden withdrawal of the foreign troops. Like Vietnam, America have not won the war. Not in Afghanistan. Absolutely not. I am sorry to say but the war in Afghanistan is not something that the United States can claim victory  or “mission accomplished”. 

Time and time again, when things goes wrong. Example: Iraq & Libya due to the American intervention, both nations nowadays are in the mess. What a utter shambles. Even getting rid of authoritarian dictators like Saddam Hussein and Colonial Gaddafi (regime change) was not really going to solve the problems of Iraq & Libya. No wonder some years later, ISIS shows up out of nowhere to take over places in Iraq & Syria. At least it didn’t really last long until the last couple of years ago. 

My point is that the West (that includes America) should really stay out of the Middle East countries. Certainly that includes Afghanistan. The country cannot take anymore of pain and misery. 🇦🇫😠

The country is really in horrifyingly trouble.
