As for Afghan citizens are killed and injured, they’ll turn more towards the Taliban.
4000 civilian casualties for a year of war in a country like Afghanistan? That’s nothing. I would have expected at least 10x as much. And apparently the Taliban keeps excellent records, as they got the numbers down to the single digits. Usually these numbers are rounded up, or down, depending on political needs.
hey moronic states, how’s the war going in afghanistan. winning yet after 18 years. controlling the better part of the land? stuck in the townships and cities or roaming the countryside free as birds? winning the hearts and minds of the afghani people? you’re a friggin disgrace and should feck off home to your own wreckage and spend the money on the infrastructure, like trump said he would! but I s’pose the opium is as good a reason as any for remaining in afghanistan!
