It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Who's in charge of Afghanistan right now? How many Taliban leaders do you suppose were assassinated between the invasion of Afghanistan and the Taliban re-acquisition of control?
Stop the shoot and cry bullshit. The yanks had no business being in Afghanistan in the first place.
For decades and decades, all the yanks have ever brought Afghanistan has been violence and terror.
They also actively fought and won.
He was never a leader of Al Qaeda, it did not ever have a formal hierarchy. He was more like a mascot who had a lot of money. You should do some more research about him, and terrorist "organizations" in general, if you're going to bloviate about them.
