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...
