    All of those people clinging to cargo planes as the US left Afghanistan just had Stockholm syndrome, right?

      I might do the same thing if someone spent 20 years tearing apart my home and then just packed up and left without paying me back for it just so the local religious fascists could move in.

      Why did 'murica invade Afghanistan again? Oh, right, the hunt for bin Laden, that asshole that was among the many taliban trained by the CIA during the 80s. The objective was one man, yet the whole country became a puppet state and remained one for 10 years after the target was killed.

      There’s also Iraq, another shining beacon of stability thanks to 'murican freedum 'n democracee. Oh, and Lybia! Super democratic place nowadays.
