Hate this guy and most things he did. But I seem to remember him being the first president to finally stop our intervention in the middle east in 20 years.
Oh but that made peeps mad too so, what do they even want really?
I’d say things would be a lot better over there now had the election gone differently.
The way the establishment media "on both sides of the isle" in the US threw a fit when Biden committed to leaving Afghanistan was such clear proof corporate media is obsessed with war at a spiritual level. Yes it has to do with corruption and narrative collusion, but also there has got to be something about dressing up in a fancy suit and telling the world why war is necessary and how awful it is that makes people think "The world needs ME, this job is vitally important!" and makes them lose their shit when anyone tries to question the moral underpinning of a conflict they are in the process of rationalizing.
From the point of view of establishment media, to question whether a war is just is to utterly miss the point of war itself.
Yeah that shit was wild. The sheer pearl-clutching at the prospect of having left some busted ass C130s or that the region NEEDED us there.
This whole world police thing is like an addiction. Notice how half a decade later we're scraping the bag, sizing up other places to go liberate. My country's been doing this for more years than I've been alive, I'm tired boss
Honestly when you see that certain groups will never be happy no matter what you do it makes you understand why in general they are ignored.
The secret is, you can make a population incredibly unhappy just by saying stuff on feeds that they read. It doesn't even have to make sense, just appeal to whatever frustration the target demographic is feeling that day.
This is how millions of Obama voters and other liberals and even progressives decided "lets give this Trump guy a shot" despite him having served a term already that was terrible.
