    ANNOUNCEMENT! I have officially joined the land of Substack. It was probably inevitable. But I'm very excited about the opportunities the platform affords. And most of all, looking forward to making insufferable people's heads explode

    Great to see we’re getting back to normal after seven months of universal vaccine availability, and legal impositions initially presented as temporary emergency measures are being removed. Oh, wait

    Very pathetic to watch British MPs melodramatically fulminating about the Afghanistan withdrawal when the UK Government had essentially no role in the relevant decision-making and wasn’t even consulted. That’s what you get for signing up to be an emasculated appendage of the US!

    Ending wars is worse than starting, escalating, and pointlessly prolonging wars. I’m a serious MSNBC pundit

    It seems like only last month that people were demanding a US invasion of Cuba

    Where are the demands of accountability, resignation, and shame for the countless military and civilian officials who oversaw two decades of failed policy in Afghanistan? Because I’m only seeing these demands directed at the officials who belatedly terminated the policy

    Unsurprisingly it seems the scale of the supposed crisis has been greatly exaggerated by US media/think tankers/politicians, for whom actually ending a war provokes exponentially more fury than any of the malfeasance associated with the war itself

    Shocked that the non-binary leftist magazine co-op idea didn’t work out

    I get it, but the “clusterfuck” was caused by the fundamental fallacy at the heart of the intervention, which is that the Afghan government was anything other than a fictitious non-entity. The precise chronology of Biden’s withdrawal has little to do with that

    The fictitiousness of the Security Forces was also apparent to anyone who read the Afghanistan Papers. Which are in the public domain. I think critics are overly-obsessed with nit-picking the “execution” of the withdrawal, but it’s true that Biden’s pronouncements were deceptive

    Even though Trump is generally loathed by the media and Biden is generally defended by the media, they're united in both provoking a blithering, condemnatory frenzy when they actually attempt to *end* wars. That's how screwed up the incentives of US political/media culture are

    Whatever influx of Afghans make it to the US should be offered full territorial control of Georgetown, Martha's Vineyard, and East Hampton

    Anyone know who this journalist is? Would love to closely study the professional and personal trajectory of a journalist who ends up in the White House Press Room lashing out in tearful anger that there will no longer be a US military presence in close proximity to Tajikistan

    The fact that a President actually ending an "endless war" is being frantically decried by political/media elites as the most damaging scandal of his presidency tells you a lot about why Presidents generally do not end wars

    It's so pathetic that corporate media outlets are trotting out as "experts" all the same Generals who were architects of these failed interventionist policies, and then letting them declare that the real "catastrophe" is that their failed policies are finally being terminated

    Ignore The Fake "Experts" — The Real "Catastrophe" In Afghanistan Was Always The War Itself

    Thankfully has been patiently dissecting these nonsense "credibility" arguments for years. It's a fake concept invented by fake experts to justify their never-ending promotion of fake foreign policy objectives

    Did you care about the record number of Afghan civilians killed in 2018 when the US was still backing the now-collapsed Afghan military, or do you only circumstantially care about dead Afghans when it helps you make a cheap partisan political point?
