Biden has few, if any, defenders on the chaotic last days of the 20-year war in Afghanistan, but ultimately, a war-weary nation may well give him a pass for ending America's longest war, regardless of the short-term costs in blood and treasure.

In Washington, Recriminations Over Afghanistan Emerge Quickly
President Biden is finding few outspoken defenders amid the chaotic collapse of the Afghan government. But after 20 years, a war-weary America may still give the president a pass.

Jesus christ this thread...
Fuck...
I think I might... Quit your little circlejerk for a while. I may or may not come back when you're done glorifying death and the killing, torture and rape of an entire country of people...
Man. See, sometimes I think "Ok, I might disagree with these people on a lot of things, but at least we must have some common ground."
And then I see replies like the ones in this thread, and I realise, no, there is literally no point in reasoning/discussing with people who believe shit like that, and will spout it all over the internet.
Enjoy your shitty little genocidal circlejerk. I'm sure you'll happily pat each other on the back about how "righteous" you are. "America first", and all that shit...
Didn't you hire Biden?
Do you know why a loose band of rabble just took a country the size of France over a weekend? It's because no1curr. 99% of that country wants the form of government the Taliban has to offer, strict sharia. And "genocide"? There will be no genocide because The Taliban ARE Afghans. This isn't a foreign invader. Some heads will roll but I guarantee you that it will be three orders of magnitude less than the previous transition.
Pretty sure I didn't do this.
checks thread
Out of 13 commenters, there were 3 that fit the criteria you gave: KanarWithDamar, FuckGenderPolitics and MrJ4242.
Truth is, people care more about themselves than some likely leftist media propaganda about the plight of Afghan women. At least I suspect most here would percieve such concern as propaganda.
Perhaps you might find more genuflecting hivemind milquetoast takes somewhere milder.
Can you give an actual reason we should care about a people who collectively rejected enlightenment and being raised above barbarism to the tune of billions of dollars and countless American lives? People aren't cheering the death and destruction their saying it’s what the people of Afghanistan have wanted and insisted on having all along and it shouldn’t be our job to pay and die for them to resist being dragged into a modern world.
