Half the country did not change their opinion of President Biden. Many Americans did not approve of the way the US left Afghanistan, That is quite a different thing.

Personally, I believe we never belonged in Afghanistan to begin with. I am reminded of the beginnings of The Labor Union Solidarity in the Lenin Shipyard of Gdansk in 1980. The union and Polish troops were fighting and killing each other. My father, Z”L said: ‘who cares? Let them kill each other they killed enough Jews over the centuries.

There was no country called Afghanistan until the British Imperialists created this political entity. You can’t make a country out of warring tribes. It has failed miserably in most of Africa, it failed in much of Asia as well. The British couldn’t handle it, the Russians were defeated and now the US and NATO allies have given up. We should have cut our losses and left long ago.
BTW>>>>I am sorry for the families of US service personnel who died in Afghanistan, BUT every single one was a VOLUNTEER member of the Armed Forces. NOT one was conscripted. They knew when they signed up there was a change their lives would be put at risk.

I am thrilled we are out, and don’t care about internal power conflicts that will occur for decades to come. The country will probably split into new countries, as did Pakistan and Sudan
