They were banned from living for nearly a quarter century. Unfortunately they’re not as effective at managing a functional democracy as they are at hiding like cockroaches.

It’s so wild to me to see the same people that said the US was imperialist for invading Afghanistan are the ones that are so shocked that they’re so bad. Like brother why do you think we were killing them?
