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
Trump had a plan for an orderly exit, Biden fucked up again.
Yeah its kinda crazy. They are sending in 2000ish troops, to help evacuate 1500ish staff. The numbers dont make sense. Like how long does it actually take for an able bodied person to evacuate a burning house?
