I don’t have to watch the coverage to also know they’re not going to talk about the wider context in any useful way. No real insight into why the taliban saw so little opposition, no discussion of how drug money underpins much of their power and what the geopolitical ramifications of that are, no reflection of why the major international governmental bodies are unwilling or unable to go to afghanistan and other places and protect human rights, and how we could reform the system of the world to actually be capable of protecting human rights. In short, all we’re going to get is a lot of poorly informed discussion of what is going on right there right now, which is probably the least important aspect of this whole situation for anyone not actually living there.
