Cory Booker made a really embarrassing statement on Wednesday that went unnoticed. He warned that a hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan could "create a vacuum that’s ultimately going to destabilize the Middle East." Afghanistan is not in the Middle East

Some people do consider it as part of Middle East, this is exactly what being pedantic is.pic.twitter.com/pBI7T8Q7jx

So, basically he was the one dipping into the kool-Aid w/o knowing what the flavour was.

Sounds pretty pedantic. I mean yeah he and all the rest of them have an imperial world view.. but this is a non-story.

It's also basic stupidity that any real journalist would point out immediately. Illegally invading a country, and then occupying it for 2 deacdes is "stabilization", but ending all that is "destabilization"???

Some might call it the "East East" or "A bit further right East"

That was less noteworthy than the idea the Middle East is now stable.

Ummm, didnt we destabilize the middle east all the way from North America? Maybe it's the way I'm reading it, but where it's located doesn't make that statement inaccurate

Booker is a paid shill now. He did his "time" to earn his "30 pieces of silver". He enjoys the "good life" now. He pretends to care about the "serfs" whilst enjoying wine and cheese with all the "proper" power brokers.

You could say that Afghanistan is a border region between the Middle East, South Asia and Central Asia...

It is a pedantic point b/c all these geographical lines are arbitrary. Afghanistan being 1 country too far east to be in the middle east is like the definition of a pedantic point. And most Americans would call Afghanistan middle east, that's often/usually what its called.

It suggests he's a puppet reading a script. His handlers think the voters have a low level of information and won't notice anyways unless TOLD TO.

(although I am perpetually surprised when looking at a map just how close Afghanistan is to the Middle East. Somehow in my mind it was always much farther east. And I know I'm not the only one re this)
