Comments by "Matthew Loutner" (@Matthew_Loutner) on "Pakistan has suffered from the war in Afghanistan for four decades, says national security advisor" video.

He said that Pakistan is the only country saying a political solution is the answer. If you are the only one who thinks something, are you likely to be right? 🤷‍♀️

China has been in Afghanistan for the last 3 years trying to develop a mine. They finally said it cannot be done and gave up. 🤷‍♂️

@mrc2222 How do you know they were right? Obviously, the USA is not going to listen if there is no proof that they were right. 🤷‍♀️

@mrc2222 That only proves that our president is an idiot. 🤷‍♀️

@syedmaazmustafa2485 That only proves that our president is an idiot. 🤷‍♂️

@_mani If they were right, the should have proved they were right -- we are not here to guess. All the Taliban had to do was hand us Al Qaeda and it would be over. If the Taliban wanted a diplomatic solution, that was their opportunity to be diplomatic.

@_mani I do not know how -- they know all the facts. They must present them. Our president is Commander-in-Chief of the military. The U.S. policy is to try diplomacy first, then if that does not work, escalate to force. So apparently they tried diplomacy first.

@mrc2222 All facts everywhere qualify as proof of something. But there are varying interpretations of what the facts actually do prove. Best decisions in history cannot be proven by pointing to historical facts. Because . . . In order to prove which path was right, you would have to do a historical scientific test. You would have to try it one way. Then you would have to rewind time and start over trying it the other way. Then by comparing the results, you could see which way worked out the best. A scientific test would prove it. 😎👍🇺🇸 ✝️

@mrc2222 I am telling you there is no way to prove which way is the best way. In MOST CASES, when people have to make a decision, there are not enough facts available to "prove" something with 100% certainly. So people are left with the only possible option: People do not make decisions by "proof" -- they make decisions based on "probabilities." After they review enough facts, they may decide that the argument is right because it has a high probability of being right. 😎👍🇺🇸 ✝️

@mrc2222 What do you mean I am not making any sense? 🤷‍♀️ Of course I am making sense. 😎 You take a pretty arrogant approach to this because . . . You believe that if something is clear to you . . 1. It must be right. 2. It must be clear to everyone else. That idea will be your downfall. You must be able to put yourself in another man's shoes, view things from all angles, and see both sides of the coin. Your brain does not have the ability to do that. You can only see what you believe is right. Your brain is simplistic: "The Afghans did not fight, so Pakistan was right." "The USA decided to do it differently, therefore the USA did not listen." Pretty simple, huh? 🤷‍♂️ When you look out at the horizon, do you tend to believe that the world is flat? That would be most obvious and simplest answer. You are Simple Simon.

@asiftalpur3758 If you can make a detailed and rational comment, you are one of the few men in world who have that ability. 🤷‍♀️ 🤷‍♂️ ************************ So you are racist against these little emoji guys?? There is a certain culture who have some difficulty communicating in written text because sometimes the language does not come across well and may (accidentally) provoke an arguement. In their culture they have developed the use of emojis in the comment as a communication tool to tell the other person that this a friendly comment . . and not a hostile one. 😎👍

@mrc2222 Thankyou. You have reiterated what I said in my original comment. These are the nations that recommended a military solution: [All of these countries contributed to the war effort. Most of them had soldiers in Afghanistan. Some only contributed the use of air-space, air-bases, or in-air refueling. A couple of them provided training, logistics, or field hospitals.] Albania Australian Armenia Azerbaijan Bangladesh Bulgaria Belgium Bosnia and Herzegovina Canada China Republic of the Congo Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Egypt Estonia France Georgia Germany Greece Hungary India Iran Ireland Hungary India Iran Ireland Italy Japan Kuwait Kyrgyzstan Latvia Lithuania North Macedonia Malaysia Montenegro Netherlands New Zealand Norway Oman Poland Portugal Qatar Romania Russia Slovakia Slovenia South Korea Spain Sudan Sweden Switzerland Tajikistan Thailand Turkey Turkmenistan United Arab Emirates Ukraine United Kingdom United States Uzbekistan ************************* These are the countries that favored a diplomatic solution: Pakistan (Offered the United States the use of 3 of its air-bases.) ************************************ That is 62 countries in favor of a military solution and 1 country in favor of a diplomatic solution. Pakistan is color-blind.

@mrc2222 The Afghan soldiers wanted to fight, but they received orders from their commanding officers to not fight. That is a suggestion that there was some kind of secret political deal behind the scenes. ******************** The fact that I go ahead and buy the car anyway does not mean that I ignored you -- it means that I listened to you and I also talked to some other people. Then I decided that a car with defects would work for what I needed. I am a professional auto mechanic. I frequently buy cars with defects. But the same car may not work out for other people. I am right -- I knew the car was going to crash when I bought it. But I also knew how to fix it.
1
@mrc2222 We did not have an objective of defeating the Taliban. If that was the objective, there would be no Taliban today. **************************** I do not talk out of my ass and you were nasty, filthy, and rude with me -- you did not speak to me respectfully -- so the discussion is finished.

@asiftalpur3758 I was just teasing . . . 😜

@mrc2222 The right mechanic can keep the car from crashing. Biden is an idiot and had no idea he was in a defective car -- so he crashed. I could have predicted exactly what would happen and accounted for it. The Taliban had been making deals with and working with local leaders for several years. What you are missing is I DID NOT IGNORE YOU on the car -- I listened. The USA did not ignore Pakistan -- they listened -- but they had to listen to a lot of other voices also. The discussion is over.

@AliHamza-bd2oz Everyone on this comment thread is saying that because the military solution did not work, that "proves" that the diplomatic solution is the right one. That is not a rational statement. How do we know if we had used the diplomatic solution, the situation would not have turned out even WORSE? 🤷‍♂️ We don't. The way things turned out, does NOT prove how things could have turned out. It is not possible to do that. ************************ You other comment about "negotiating with terrorists" is not rational either. If the Taliban offered to hand over Bin Laden for free, where would be the negotiation. What negotiation? 🤷‍♀️

Al Qaeda caused the invasion -- let them take care of the refugees. 🤷‍♂️
