Neoliberalism Bites The Dust in Afghanistan – by Emerald Robinson – Emerald Robinson s The Right Way
So Afghanistan’s fall is not just a crisis for Biden but for Brookings, for the Council of Foreign Relations, for the entire foreign policy establishment. It s a catastrophe for the Democrats and the corporate media and the woke military and the intelligence agencies and Silicon Valley and Hollywood and everyone else who helped Biden get elected. They told us all for five years that President Trump was a dangerous idiot and it turned out that Biden was the dangerous idiot. Their veil of competence has been lifted. The neoliberals have nowhere to hide because they re hiding from themselves. Their credibility just disappeared in the dust of Kabul.
I have a bit of trouble internalizing this message because basically I thought this several years ago. What would have shocked me would have been if our evacuation from Afghanistan was anything less than disastrous.
I’ve less taken a red pill than somebody put me on the same drug administered in a drip. And as far as Trump goes, he was not an idiot, at least as far as politicians go. Dangerous? Yes. The whole things is dangerous and getting dangerouser by the day it seems to me. But any moment we could turn the corner, so stay tuned. Feeling optimistic this morning!
