This is why I don't read your stuff. You have no realistic solutions. You basically just repeated the right wing talking points with no shame at all, and back it up by saying "I met the Taliban!" This is the exact argument every rightwinger has made about Afghanistan. We shouldn't have gotten in, its a mess, but it would be a istake to leave.

I've met some idiotic leftists, but I don't think I've ever met one who tries to make the argument that the right is doing to defend their position. Oh, and your first point, people have been arguing we should leave Germany and Japan for decades.

This was an unwinnable war that we went in for stupid reasons. I'm pretty sure if I went through some of your past articles I'd find some saying that the US Military is a destructive force that is ruining mankind. Biden is not perfect, but he got a shit hand, did what he promised and admitted it was his fault. I have no doubt if he reversed himself and reinvaded Afghanistan tomorrow, you'd be right back here with another article saying he was just another idioting world leader being led by the military industrial complex. Cause you don't care about human life anymore than the right wing does. Its about yelling at the top of your lungs,
