Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I think everyone wanted Afghanistan to not give up immediately and surrender to the Taliban. Fighting spirit like Ukraine.

Almost 20 years of military training and equipment and they did nothing. I get there was probably family on the other side, but the military basically gave up on the dreams of the Afghan women.

We should (the west as this is not just on the states) have armed and trained the women and not the failsons.
