I don't ever want to see any domestic #metoo comments someone who was OK with the US leaving Afghanistan. Any gender discrimination challenges in the west are an absolute joke compared to the dark ages we just condemned 20 million Afghan women and girls to. And it's being accepted without even a peep by the press and populace at large.

Lol it's hilarious. All the SJW types on instagram now are reposting "The latest on what's happening in Afghanistan! What you can do to help!" Someone said donating to some fund or something and reposting this or that... all selfish posturing.

Some people literally have no clue about the way reality unfolds. Sometimes its just the strong that create the new reality, and they eradicate the weak from existence. When you have strength and general justice on your side, you need to take the chance and destroy the evil.

The press has been complaining about it nonstop, so I'm not quite sure what you're talking about.

What's your solution then? Continue throwing thousands of lives and trillions of dollars at it to maintain an indefinite military presence there?

We had only a few thousand troops holding most of the populated centers free at very little cost. We could have done that indefinitely without any issue. US casualties in Afghanistan in the past few years have been minuscule and the actual dollar spending wasn't much to keep ten's of millions free from tyranny.
