we have a pro-war beltway media ecosystem that is severely out of touch with the population that it covers.

like i said up top...the overwhelming reaction to bidens speech (that ive seen) has been that he is right and its no longer our battle to fight for afghanistan when afghanistan obviously isnt interested in fighting for itself.

ive seen some of bidens staunchest 'progressive' critics support him on this. ive seen anti-interventionist far right folks support biden on this (now theyve pivoted to attacking him on letting afghan refugees in the country lol). and ive seen general realists just be like 'we cant be over there forever'.

his speech just cemented the sentiment and prolly even won a few more folks over.

even conservatives like ann coulter are saying shit like this:

if theres one thing to give trump credit for...its isolating the neocon forever war cheerleaders from the rest of the republican base...and robbing them of that whole 'patriotic' talking point.

america being the worlds policeman and 'spreading democracy' to other countries just isnt the knee jerk applause line that it once was anymore.
