Bingo.

I have people who I actually want to receive calls from on the “pass through” list, but when I just want to relax? Everyone else goes straight to voicemail.

Normalize turning on DND permanently.

After 9/11, USA went into a bloodlust, invading Afghanistan because they (Taliban) wanted proof that Osama bin Laden was involved with the terrorist attack first. bin Laden fled to Pakistan, but the USA didn’t invade them, nor threatened to. Instead, USA just kept their boots on foreign soil because, hey, free real state and cheap poppy, amirite?

Just to add to your point.

From way before 9-11

Before the Invasion

After the invasion.

Afghanistan was fairly cut and dry. The Taliban refused to turn over bin Laden and the US invaded.

That’s incredibly false

This has been known for quite some time. Propaganda really is a hell of a drug.

They’re mostly a bunch of neo-colonists that believe in western exceptionalism and won’t spend any time learning about the country the west occupied for over 20 years, let alone the complicated dynamics of the country.

I mean legit half the comments are variants of “We need to civilize the savages”.

Reminds me of all the crocodile tears against leaving Afghanistan in the first place “Think of the women!” they cried, well what happened when the country was dealing with a famine (which of course impacted millions of Afghani women) and the US stole half of Afghani assets at a time they desperately needed it? crickets.

Propaganda is a hell of a drug.

Remember when the Afghan people had a phenomenally well equipped and well trained army, and then they just gave up inside a week because things were “hard”?

You didn’t read the Afghanistan Papers did you?

huh, TIL. Thanks!

Is there a toggle to show NSFW or something, cause I haven’t seen any.
