There is no good way to withdraw from Afghanistan. Anyone dunking on Joe Biden for doing the right thing should be rightfully and proudly ignored.

I guess as long as the tens of thousands or more Afghans and their families that the United States worked with for years who are now being left behind to be slaughtered instead of being evacuated don’t count, yeah no better way.

Is it realistic to expect imperial bureaucracies to somehow become super competent?

Yes. We have a giant military that is very very competent in logistics with massive amounts of hardware. These people have been known to us for years. We employed them. Evacuating them to safety should have been a minimal requirement. The bureaucracy can be sorted out later.

Do you really believe that it was winnable, Zeynep? Are you on record anywhere to that effect?

You’re the only one talking about winning. Who said anything about winning now or before?

Then what is your vision for super-competent imperialism? More accurate and orders of magnitude more drone strikes?

Better reading comprehension at the core county would be helpful, I guess? I’m talking about evacuating tens of thousands of people who are at high risk of being tortured and killed along with their families because they worked for us. You seem to be stuck on drone strikes.
