most of us know there is 20 years of blame to go around I'm not just picking on one president or party.
Which side is this post/tweet supporting?
Apparently Dr. Lidiya doesn’t know the basic difference between an observation and a theory. Nor do the people who repost her thoughts.
The intervention had nothing to do with creating a different government for the Afghanis. One of the main mistakes people make us to think that it was the US as a country involved in Afghan. It wasn't. It was a collcmection of different groups/factions within the g't (and outside of it) from the DoD to private military companies (similar to Blackwater) to infrastructure contractors to arms manufacturers to CIA, etc. The capitol hill and their buddies couldn't care less about democracy, etc. It was all about money. Someone made lots of it.If that's the case then 20 years and over a trillion dollars and worst of all the lost lives and maimed were all in vain from the beginning. We should have let the Afghan government that we were supporting choose their own form of government instead of forcing democracy on them.
Been in southern California the last week. This thread still going? Someone tldr?
Lucky they didn't ask you to race.Comet update:
it's been running good. I took it out for date night this wknd. We met friends at the park for a free local concert....I got to park it next to their Prius.
This Afghanistan travesty demonstrates to me what is a clear pattern. If you're on the right and a leader on "your side" lies, fucks up or whatever you have to pretend it never happened, blame it on someone else or claim it's really a win. If you don't you are censured for "not lying" and out you go.
If you're on the left you can safely criticize your "leaders" without fear of being ostracized. That can be both a strength and a weakness but it sure affects who's information I'm going to consider... in all things. I often imagine how each group feels when they read a negative fact check of a their leader..
Left - That's embarrassing. Why did she/she have to say that?
Right - Bias! Fake news!
There was an evacuation plan in place - the current administration just blew it up though.Yep. Fox News and OAN will just ignore anything that makes conservatives look bad.
CNN is bashing Biden right now over how poorly the pull out was planned. While I agree with pulling out, troops should have remained until we had everything out we wanted out, and their should have been an evacuation plan in place for the embassy.

Sometimes I might give you a like if I knew what you are talking about.
