Those who left and those who could not flee speak of a country in ruins and decry the world’s apathy towards the humanitarian crisis and the lack of rights, mainly for women, which a UN report describes as ‘gender apartheid’
It translated pretty easily for 2 decades. Then an orange chimp decided he didn’t care just like he doesn’t care about anything his country commits to and left. Then Biden just pushed it through while the Afghanistan government was unready and countless American sympathisers and supporters still had not been extracted just because he also doesn’t give a sh*t about promises his country makes. America leaving was inevitable. The taliban retaking was almost handed to them by how America decided to withdraw.
I think they just expected empathy and interest in them as a people.
Ok, they have our empathy and interest. How does that translate into meaningful physical action?

There was no way the ANA would have held on for long after the US left, held on for a little longer, maybe.
There was no way the Taliban wasn’t going to eventually win in some capacity.
Do they? You’re more focused on trying to have a gotcha on the internet than displaying any empathy or interest in them.
Thoughts and prayers won’t make the Taliban go away lol
Is that your idea of what empathy or interest looks like?
What do you think it should look like? I’m not pleased with the situation but I don’t know what we could do differently.
It definitely doesn’t look like thoughts and prayers, a phrase which is often used by people who show the opposite of empathy or interest.
