Almost like a complete and total withdrawal form Afghanistan was a terrible idea.
In the current situation with Israel if the US wasn’t propping up Israel than I doubt Israel would be brazen enough to attack Saudi Arabia which would mean we also wouldn’t have the need to reclaim Bagram airport in Israel’s defense.
The current situation with Afghanistan is the result of another US effort to externally support a country in a military campaign back in the 80s.

What? No. We shouldn’t have been there in the first place. We don’t need to return. We’re not the worlds police.
Yes, the USA should never have been there, but the withdrawal was still shit and the way it was done did only harm. Ask the afghan women how they like their new government.
Not saying the withdrawal was a complete shit show, but it’s not our job to fix nations. We shouldn’t be telling anyone how to live. They want to oppress themselves that’s on them, because at the end of the day, you can’t kill citizens of a nation and expect them to want to keep you in place.
