Some More News: Who to “Blame” for Afghanistan

I’m beginning to think Cody Johnston is secretly (or not so secretly) trying to reverse the damage the Internet has done to everyone’s ability to pay attention for more than a few minutes (or seconds, in extreme cases) with these lengthy explorations of complex subjects.

If you stick with it, you’ll almost certainly learn something, though. So take your medicine, it’s good for you. And it’s pretty funny too.

Hi. Today we discuss forever war, and explore what it is good for.

Former President Donald Trump’s political fundraising operation reported paying more than $4.3 million since the start of the 2020 election cycle to individuals and firms that organized the Jan. 6 rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol, according to a report published Monday by the government watchdog OpenSecrets.

The full extent of the Trump-linked funding and organizational support for the Jan. 6 rally is not yet fully known, but the report reveals a powerful push funded by Trump backers to deny the results of the presidential election. And more may be discovered soon as the House select committee investigating the Capitol insurrection begins a deep dive to uncover the players behind the day’s events, their activities and those who funded them.

The narrative now is that the war was a “mistake,” but there was some magical way it could have been ended that would have seen us get every single American, foreign national, and Afghan national that wished to leave out of the country safely without either committing to an extension of the war or getting more American soldiers killed. And that Biden deserves all the blame and should resign for not achieving that ending.

This is interesting. I was pretty sure something like this had to be going on.

(CNN)The US military negotiated a secret arrangement with the Taliban that resulted in Taliban members escorting groups of Americans to the gates of the Kabul airport as they sought to escape Afghanistan, according to two defense officials.

One of the officials also revealed that US special operations forces set up a “secret gate” at the airport and established “call centers” to guide Americans through the evacuation process.

The officials said Americans were notified to gather at pre-set “muster points” close to the airport where the Taliban would gather the Americans, check their credentials and take them a short distance to a gate manned by American forces who were standing by to let them inside amid huge crowds of Afghans seeking to flee. amp.cnn.com

Also, when you hear the “liberal media” or their GQP patrons bitching about Afghan nationals or Americans “left behind,” it helps to remember that the former got roundly screwed by the Trump admin deliberately sabotaging efforts to get them visas in order to leave the country, while many of the latter waited until the last fucking second to leave for various reasons (ex: “didn’t think it would get that bad,” “thought the deadline would be extended,” “wanted to be on last plane out,” etc).

“I had a gentleman come in, and he was an older gentleman. He told me that his wife wanted him to be on the Ivermectin plan. I immediately brought him over here, because at that time I had this sign hung up, and I told him this isn’t safe for you to take. And he says, ‘Well, we’ve been taking it and my only side effect is I can’t see in the morning.’ That’s a big side effect, so you probably shouldn’t take it,” said Smith.

13 American soldiers died, doing an evacuation that saved 122,000 civilians.
That’s approximately 1 American soldier dead for every 10,000 civilians saved.

How many of those 13 Americans would have called that an acceptable trade?

The man is probably not wrong by much. But why FFS? To my mind, this falls squarely on the Afghan government(s). National to local. Nobody wins where half the population needs help just to eat. Where hunger rules, authoritarians rise.

“Today, almost half of the population of Afghanistan - 18 million people - need humanitarian assistance to survive,” United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres continued.

Crooked Media’s weekly Pod Save America and Pod Save The World episodes tend to be 45 - 75 minutes long and also provide a lot of info. Also not shouty. Cody can be a little like Chris Hayes on uppers.

The last Pod Save the World (I think) had an interview with an Al Jazeera correspondent about Afghanistan. It was fairly interesting about stuff on the ground, about how he personally considered Biden enormously disrespectful towards the Afghans (I don’t agree, but can see where he was coming from). Ok.

Then we got into What America Should Have Done. First, apparently, the US should have told Ghani that we were really leaving this time and he really needs to clean up the corruption. Wut. We know what happened when he really understood America was leaving: he grabbed as much cash as he could find and buggered off to the UAE.

And then, that the Taliban had now committed to human rights and various other noble things, and America needs to hold the Taliban to their commitment. So, after the host gently asked him how America should do this, he comes back with, as I recall, “I don’t know. America should do something!”

Apparently he doesn’t realize that “I don’t know. America should do something!” has been the one guiding principle for everyone involved in this debacle for the last two decades.

Agreed. We have money and manufacturing capacity. Trade as an instrument of policy. We can and should make any foreign humanitarian effort international or walk away. UN, ASEAN, Red Cross whoever. Every time they want the “military hammer” we have gotta ask, why us? Is this even a nail, and what about you guys?

That’s part of the bad faith that they’re arguing from: The only civilians they ever gave a damn about were Americans.

Foreign nationals? “Fuck’em, shouldn’t have been there in the first place.”

Afghan refugees? “THEY WILL NOT REPLACE US!!!”

But a woman and a bunch of rescue dogs? “THIS IS THE WORST LOSS OF LIFE IN AMERICAN HISTORY!!!”

The clearest way to prove that? Just look at all the coverage in the “liberal media,” wailing non-stop about 13 dead soldiers but not sparing most than a couple seconds for the 170+ civilians killed in the same attack.

The Ghost of a Flea  Aug 31, 2021 • 12:22:48pm

The nations built into democracies by US intervention—Japan and Germany—were already industrialized democracies that were then hijacked by authoritarian nationalists.

Contrast this with the many post-colonial, pre-industrial or de-industrialized countries in which the US intervened putatively to protect “democracy” but doing so by providing money and arms to existing powerful figures who might preserve the facade of elections but are effectively oligarchs.

Contrast this also with the frequency with which interventions bend toward a profit motive.

If we consider how the money flowed in Afghanistan, which model did we follow?

I’m seeing a lot of broad statements about the qualia of Afghans and thus their inability to do the thing—democracy, fight back, etc—-but the current state of Afghanistan resembles a bunch of other places where US intelligence and foreign policy put their stamp: a center of oligarchs that make money disappear, a hinterland of people that don’t trust anyone from outside because they’ve been the field on which the scrummage of ideology is played, another “military” that can’t function because it’s officers steal the wages and the soldiers aren’t trained.

Either vast chunks of the world are homoousian in their lack of character or having the same conditions imposed on them produces the same result.

And there’s two direct comparables for this phenomenon—the common structural character of nations that survived European colonialism and the common character of the nations that survived Tsarist/Soviet colonialism.

MGT filed articles of impeachment against Biden on January 21.

Republicans can find any ridiculous reason to impeach a Democrat. Since Biden wasn’t involved with Monica, they will have to develop a different reason. How about concealing the truth about the crimes of one of his dear family members — Major Biden? Or over Tara Reade’s allegations?

It’s time to mute Nate Silver.

He’s a sports data guy, who doesn’t get much outside of his wheelhouse.

The reality is that what he thinks is substantial new burdens is masking, eating outdoors, and limiting ways covid can spread.

The reality is that Duke is an island surrounded by people who aren’t vaccinating and aren’t taking steps to prevent spread of covid. Duke has to protect its own, and the best way to do it is with minimal steps, like masks, outdoor eating, and insisting on vaccinations.

The problem remains that the GOPers around the nation are undermining the public health response at every turn, and if we listened to those experts we would not be in the mess we’re in.

I had someone yelling that at me because I had a bumper sticker that said “Hate is not a family value”. First thing she said to me was “Is that a GAAAAYYE thang?” She didn’t believe in loving the sinner. She had a pre-printed list of sins I was guilty of in her mind, and she was pre-hating me for all of them.
