You can really claim with a straight face that invading Afghanistan and killing two hundred thousand random people was to help?

Because, well, that’s exactly what Rashists say about invading Ukraine. Once again: same mentality.

"invading Afghanistan and killing two hundred thousand random people"

there's that word "random" again. You disqualify yourself from any serious discussions when you keep using that. You're throwing around crazy numbers like someone on The View.

So you are saying all those droned kids were combatants, not random victims?

>You're throwing around crazy numbers like someone on The View.

Those are official statistics, you’ll find them quoted on Wikipedia. Let me guess: they look weird to you, because your media only reports loses on the invading side.

What Russians/Putin said doesn't really matter to me, there are no (significant amount of) fascists in Ukraine and no persecution of Russians was happening. Meanwhile, Taliban is very much real and their crimes against humanity are real too.

Taliban was just an excuse, some as “Ukrainian Nazis” are to Rashists. If US really wanted to hunt terrorists, they would invade Saudi Arabia instead.

Also - you really believe those two hundred thousand people killed, as “US aid to Afghanistan”, were Taliban?
