    Can someone tell me the difference between (on the one hand) Japan/Germany/South Korea and (one the other) Afghanistan?https://twitter.com/RichardHaass/status/1431055016492617728 …

    The alternative to withdrawal from Afghanistan was not “endless occupation” but open-ended presence. Occupation is imposed, presence invited. Unless you think we are occupying Japan, Germany, & South Korea. And yes, withdrawal was the problem. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/26/opinion/afghanistan-us-withdrawal.html?referringSource=articleShare …

        250,000 people haven't been killed in a civil war involving US troops in any of those countries since 2001?

        comparison is with those countries after their respective wars, not with them now
