It annoys me that there is such staunch criticism of Americans for wanting this. Universally Democrats opposed these wars for most of the past 20 years, but now they're getting upset that we're leaving?
300k Afghan Defense force members wouldn't have up and walked away if they actually cared about the Taliban taking over. It's almost as if they wanted this. Afghanistan mind you, is also a third world country which indentured slavery universally recognized. You can watch videos even of people who are basically so in debted to their landlords, that they sell organs to help pay off the debt.
Any American at least decrying this event should be ashamed of themselves. Not only were we there too long, we shouldn't have been there in the first place. But now is the time to virtue signal how the US didn't do something perfectly...again. What did they want the US to do? Stay and save everybody while simultaneously leaving? We can only do so much. Not to mention, had we never been there, the society would've been the exact same as when we left it.
The other ironic thing is people criticizing the US for allowing the Taliban to impose harsh restrictions on women. That isn't the US's fault, that is radical Islam. But not a single person in the US is going to mention this because it's only okay to criticize Christianity in the US. Seeing as critics of Islam are somehow equated to bigotry when there are very much justifiable reason to criticize the theology like any other religion.
