The west liberated Afghanistan from the Taliban and gave them the freedom to chart their destiny. Trillions were spent helping them. The translators were not helping us, they were helping themselves. They were freeing themselves from Islamic rule. Afghans chose not to fight for that freedom. They chose Islam above democracy. So, they made their bed and now they can lie on it.

No, they are not our responsibility. We scarified enough trying to help them, and this is all happening because they're unwilling to help themselves. We don't owe them shit.
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia deserve to collapse as well. Few recall that 12 out of the 15 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudi nationals and that Saudi Arabia is the biggest exporter of Wahhabist terrorism in the world. That Afghanistan with its 90% Sunni population and its Taliban armed by the CCP throughout the Soviet and Western occupations fails again only to become some backwater caliphate is not our concern. The genocidal terror state in Beijing is, however; and we need to shift our priorities big time.
