    If 4 years of Biden couldn’t give them residency, I doubt another 4 of the same is going to do any difference.

    For those who wish to point out that Donald would be worse, congratulations on pointing out that none of the candidates will do any good for them.

    We broke their country so we owe them citizenship at least. I’m sure Donnie Dipshit has other ideas though.

      The Taliban and years of religious squabbling is what broke their country. And if you truly think it’s all the US, then you don’t know your history and are uneducated.

        The recent history of Afghanistan is complex, but “Pulling out haphazardly after releasing thousands of Taliban fighters against the will of the national government” is, at the very least, a very strong contributing factor to the current state of affairs.

          Well, yeah. But it’s not the entire reason a country is broken. Plus, we’ve been there for too long and the government there didn’t have a clue in how to go about improving itself. And we needed to go so…what else could’ve been done?

          Everything in the Middle-East is a waste of time.

            Not releasing an additional 5000 veteran Taliban fighters would have been a good start. Not going above the Afghan government to negotiate directly with the Taliban would’ve been a good second step.

            It was never going to be pretty, but it didn’t need to end as badly as it did.

    I’d say I hope Harris wins for their sake, but honestly I’m hoping she wins for everyone’s sake.
