I listen to NPR, so you don’t have to.
And lately, NPR has gone way overboard with the OMG Afghanistan narrative.
They’ve been running pieces non-stop for weeks now, about how bad things are getting in Afghanistan.
The Taliban is going door to door raping women and children!
Women aren’t being allowed to attend school!
Women are being killed for dressing immodestly!
The Taliban took over 10 major cities today!
We’ve sunk so much blood and treasure into Afghanistan,
And we don’t understand ‘sunk costs’.
It all just feels phony as hell, with the purpose being to keep US military in Afghanistan.
And why would anyone want the US military in Afghanistan?
Well, you have to look at a map,
And see that Afghanistan and Iraq flank Iran,
And Iran is the enemy of Israel.
So basically Israel has its enemy surrounded by US military,
And theres no reason to believe that israel has any intention of ever removing US military from surrounding israeli enemies
The US doesn't want to be there.
Biden is the fall guy for this. There's no other way where the US could evacuate from Afghanistan without major deaths and repercussions.
This was necessary. Trump can't look bad.
