Exactly right.
“Yes, the US and the west should stop endless wars of imperial conquest. But it’s unconscionable to throw 38 million Afghans to feral wolves and squander hard-fought social and educational advances women and minorities have made over the last two decades.” independent.co.uk/independen…

What we could’ve done is had an exit strategy with a deep humanitarian focus on rescuing the thousands of people who helped us, worked with us, and are likely to be massacred now.

Our military leaders are incompetent liars. Of course this could have been avoided, but they’ve proven incapable. Cut the cord before they make it worse.

Prob is there nvr was an exit strategy. @IlhanMN had an amendment for withdrawal from #Afghanistan that was killed in the House last year. Our govnt under #Biden is incapable of such a thing & so they had a few months notice at least & we shld let the UN handle peacekeeping.

The train left the station on that years ago. You’re not going to put a dent in an issue of this scale with some last-minute tweets. Helpful actions would be 1) address anti-refugee sentiment here in the US, and 2) oppose US intervention, which will only ever serve US interests.

The US is a capitalist, and white supremacist apartheid power, however. Therefore, this is nothing that the US political system as presently constituted was ever capable of accomplishing

I agree that we had a lousy exit strategy, why didn't we ask for help from Russia and countries in the area?

Lol! “Exit strategy”? “Humanitarian focus”? If it don’t make dollars, it don’t make sense (to the United States empire)
Replying to @marwilliamson
But the people you empower are ideologically opposed to such strategies as is self evident via their past involvement, financial incentives & political partnerships. Why aren't you holding yourself accountable for placing hurdles in the way of an end result you/claim/ to desire?

I don't think you understand that you're an immoral imperialist force...
