Let’s not forget all the shit the US was getting for withholding the Afghan government’s money when it collapsed and refusing to give it to the Taliban and the Afghan people, and the sanctions. Even after a military invasion and an attempt to bring democracy didn’t work, and sanctions and withholding their prior government’s money didn’t either. Not only did all of that not work, they were directly detrimental to the people that the US was trying to ‘help’.
What do you expect the world to do now? Another long ground war? Sanctions that’ll starve the Afghan people?
