Observer II Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Seems the Taliban look like winning the war - no surprise to some of us. So, having chased Bin Laden into the mountains of Afghanistan following the 9/11 terror attack, then getting stuck in a 30 year war, with primitive tribesmen, the World Super-Power (as in Viet Nam) has, having lost numerous lives, decided to call it a day, along with their NATO Allies. So all the money, all those lives thrown away in an attempt to modernise a feudal theocracy in our image; wasted. So what of the consequences ? Having given a portion of the Afghan population the hope of "a better life" , women and young folk will no doubt be looking to escape the oppression of fundemental Islam; and seek "a better life" - I wonder where ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually no as it happens. First 10 choices are the USA (21%), Germany (6%), Canada, UK and France (5%), Australia (4%), Saudi Arabia and Spain (3%) with Italy and Switzerland bringing up the rear (2%). Strangely African, South American and Asian countries aren't seen as popular destinations for refugees, they really need to work on their PR.

Observer II Posted July 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 No doubt the interpreters etc, who worked with the Yanks will try to get to the US, but not in a small boat. The rest will pass through Turkey, small boat to Greece, then start walking to Calais, with the rest. 😠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
