I understand those who think we should have left. I also understand some of those who think we should’ve stayed. What I cannot comprehend is anyone minimizing or glossing over the abject terror of 20 million women.

People are acting like American army just went there to train Afghan army for 20 years and just sat on the side watching.

Not minimizing that but am totally minimizing any notion that more US military intervention would help or that the plight of Afghani women is worse than the plight of Saudi women or many other women in US allied countries. Or the Kurdish Syrian women we turned the Turks loose on.

$100 says the CIA promotes misogyny in Afghanistan in order to get you to say this shit in defense of eternal imperialism

Marianne if you’re doing more drugs, do less. If you’re doing less drugs, do more. But for the love of god, get off imperialism.

It's reasonable to argue that the fate of afghan women would be way more positive if the US hadn't poured billion$ to prop up the mujahideen & creating the Taliban in the 80s. Glossing over who's responsable for that terror doesn't help either.

Thinking USA & Western European military powers need to engage in more military action "to help the Afghan people" is racist colonialist ideology. Americans & European powers need to leave the rest of the world the fuck alone. .

This shit show was intentional. It was brokered in advance. Taliban work for our insipid and menacing empire. Our empire requires the sacrifice and victimization of those innocents to trigger your continued support and hopefully draw China/Iran/Russia into another sap trap.

This is condescending as hell. This has nothing to do with protecting women and you know it. The United States would sooner stomp on women's liberation movements than fight for it as their main goal. Stop spouting this absolute nonsense.

What you can't seem to comprehend is that our country doesn't actually give a shit about any of those women. Never have. Unless they suddenly give birth to an oil or poppy field they never will.

Mrs. Williamson, Respectfully. Can you, for once, acknowledge that the US is fundamentally an evil entity?
