These are not stable people. They are drug traffickers, kidnappers for profit, slavers, employers of child soldiers, rapists and mass murderers, who justify their criminal behavior with religious extremism.
They are not a government. They are the chaos. They are the bloodshed. Nothing good can come of legitimizing their rule.
But enough about the US government, let’s get back to talking about the Taliban.
You may want to double check your facts. If I were you, thankfully I am not, I would take the defeat and move on. No one wants what the West is selling, you had 20 years and 2.3 trillion dollars to prove your point and you failed.
Nothing made up, you joined into a conversation that starts with someone claiming the Taliban is “stabilizing” for Afghanistan. Someone listed many egregious atrocities committed by the Taliban that highlight how absurd that claim is. Your response then implied the Taliban was the same as the US and pretended you couldn’t tell the difference.
So you’re either claiming the US was the same as the Taliban, thus also a “stabalizing force”. Or you’re claiming the US committed mass rapes and executions.
Or, you know, the third option of you don’t actually give a shit about Afghanistan and just saw an opportunity to try and vaguely disparage the US.

You’re the only one talking about the US.

What do you mean? You described the US to a T.
So is your argument here then that the US was a stabilizing force? Or that the US military was undertaking mass rape campaigns?
If you considered Vichy Afghanistan to be stable. It clearly crumbled immediately.
No.
Ok, so just “US bad”, got it.
Also no. If you want to continue having a conversation with a person you made up inside your own head though, you don’t need my input.
