Us, the realists, who understand that Obama couldn’t just pack up and leave also understand that you can’t understand that.
WHY THE FUCK NOT? That’s literally exactly what Biden did, the only difference is that we spend an extra decade pouring endless amounts of blood and treasure, to accomplish NOTHING. “Realist,” my ass.
Realism was recognizing that the war was lost from the minute it started, because the occupation could not last forever and the moment it ended the puppet government would collapse. Calling yourself a “realist,” while pretending that a decades long occupation was a “mistake” is completely absurd.
There’s plenty of room for nuance, on certain topics. Not on this. Not the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of civilians. If Trump killed a hundred thousand people in New York City, would you be talking about “nuance?” Was the Holocaust “nuanced?” There’s a fucking line to be drawn, and there’s exactly one reason why Afghans are on one side of the line to me and the other to you, and it’s that you don’t see them as actual human beings.
