    This post is dedicated to the brave Mujahadeen fighters of Afghanistan

    And the brave women trying to get an education there.

      If the U.S. actually gave a shit about women’s rights it wouldn’t ally with Saudi Arabia (and a dozen other countries) and wouldn’t have funded and armed fundamentalist Muslims throughout the 70s and 80s.

      The U.S. view of human rights generally is that they are occasionally a useful rhetorical cudgel for browbeating skeptical liberals into supporting the war du jour.

        Cannot argue against that. Much in the same way the EU bought Russian gas and oil after the invasion of Ukraine. Necessity is a burden sometimes.

      Damn, maybe America shouldn’t have funded the fucking Mujahideen of Afghanistan to overthrow the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan who delivered to the women of Afghanistan their right to choose who to marry, where to work, right to education, and political rights.

        Maybe if Russia/Stalin had not decided to annex half of Europe there would not have been a cold war. These people decided to sleep with the Russians. The enemy of your enemy is your friend.
