I understand the argument that 20 yrs was enough & it was time to leave Afghanistan. That's the president's call. But the exit should have been done with far more care & w/ far more safety provided for those who had helped us. @POTUS can still make this right and he must #ACTNOW!

Um are we think 20-25 more years oughta do it? The United States doesn't care about its own struggling citizens and they don't care about the women of Afghanistan. Every propaganda angle is for one reason only ...justification for perpetual war

I know you care so much about kids...that is evident. Maybe the kids will be safer without USA interference. We started this war for no reason and we have left a broken and dysfunctional country because of our interference. If Afghanistan invaded us would you want them to stay?

What do you know about Afghanistan?

The Afghanistan invasion killed thousands of civilians and the US spent about $4,000,000,000 per year. The #military contracting companies owned by the #billionaires and #Oligarchs have been making a killing. đŸ’ĩđŸ‡ēđŸ‡¸âš°ī¸đŸĒĻ🧾

The Afghan govt has been described as one of the most corrupt in the world---you could at least mention that as it is a huge part of what is happening.

There is no "making this right" now any more than there was in Vietnam or any other neoliberal horror we've visited upon this Earth. Getting out of these shitshows and staying out and asking the UN to help is the best we can do.

We should have used those 20 years to invest in soft power, but we never moved from the might makes right phase - we seem to be perpetually in it, both at home and abroad.

He is but details would ruin any chances of success. Info is limited for security reasons.

How can Biden make this better, Marianne? Should we stay and commit more atrocities? Should we drop more bombs? What military solution did you have in mind, especially since you claim to be anti-war?
