Aaand, In Other News...
Re: Aaand, In Other News...
Oh yeah, I hated his "not worth American lives" stance - you're the world's biggest military power and people are suffering that you could be helping, but I could see his point. It doesn't seem like any amount of military intervention is going to fix the underlying problem; you can kill the leaders, but the Taliban just go into hiding and re-emerge when it's safe to do so.
Re: Aaand, In Other News...
You can't defeat the Taliban militarily and you can't educate them to be less hardline because they don't seem receptive to listening. The only way I can think of to resolve the situation is for other countries to offer refuge to anyone in Afghanistan who wants out. I don't know how strongly the Taliban would try to stop people from fleeing once the dust settles, but I imagine if the US waved a big enough stick then safe exit could be arranged.
Sadly, though, a recent UK poll showed that the biggest concern for Conservative voters isn't covid or the economy. It's immigrants.

Re: Aaand, In Other News...
38 million people in the country, judging by what we saw yesterday I dare say a massive proportion would be wanting to leave.
Re: Aaand, In Other News...
Wouldn't be easy or without huge cultural or logistical problems, but the alternative is to abandon them to Taliban rule and turn a blind eye. The latter is almost certainly what will happen.
Even if only a tiny percentage of the 38 million were successfully re-homed, it would be worth the effort. People don't want foreigners on their doorstep, though, taking their jerrrbs, even knowing that turning them away means condemning them to a lifetime of oppression and horror. People are shits.

Does anyone remember when The Thick of It used to be considered satire?

After 2016 there's no longer satire in politics it would appear

There's a guy trapped in the pink-topped car that wedges the truck in which must have been terrifying. What in the hell provoked that?
Re: Aaand, In Other News...
I think the general consensus is the driver was fleeing a previous collision and was drunk.

That is literally something The Onion would make up. Apparently the Moonies also worship the AR15 gun so that's where the Republican party connection probably is.
