Look, I try not to care, too much, about what goes on in other countries. I try not to think about all the Afghans that will die, now; all the 12-year-olds who will be married off; the fall of an entire country; the fact that terrorists will have a breeding ground again; or the total waste of money and life that this all represents...
But it's kind of hard to just "ignore" what is going on. Your country has just capitulated, betrayed its allies and left complete destruction in its wake, for what, FOR WHAT?
And why, because a couple of old men (first Trump, and now dipshit Biden) decided it was politically expedient to do so...
I just... It's disgusting, to be frank. And you know what's significant? I suspect this represents the end of American "soft power", across much of the world. Because the world, including America's allies, will now see what a joke "that country's" military is. What lies America tells itself, and its allies. How "you" can't be relied upon. How utterly, utterly pathetic this whole debacle is. And how "your" president is a useless, lying, untrustworthy, duplicitous, idiotic fuck.
Look, I never particularly LIKED Trump, but I fail to understand how ANYONE can look at the fall of Kabul this week, look at the WORST US foreign policy failure in more than 40 years, and not see this as worse than anything Trump ever directly did, perhaps even including fucking Yemen...
I just... Fuck this. It is a fucking disgrace, and there is no room to make light of it. Biden and Psaki, and everyone else involved, deserves to rot in hell for this. Blood is on their hands, and no one, American, Afghan, Chinese or otherwise, should ever forget or forgive that.
I might as well add to this: watching the US "ask" the Taliban to spare their embassy, and telling them off like naughty children, bla bla bla re "international recognition", is just... Embarrassing. Utterly humiliating.
Hell, even the fucking UN thinks it is an embarrassment. How can ANYONE take you seriously, after that?
"We don't negotiate with terrorists". What the fuck happened, America? How the fuck has it come to this, in what, less than 15 years?
You're a joke, USA. An internationally shameful joke. And this blood is on your hands. You cannot wash that off.
A lot of Americans are very stupid. Apparently it wasn't just a joke.
