The consent manufacturing sector is really humming now for a complete re-invasion, from the videos and photos we've already seen (organic) to the thought pieces on how Afghanistan is sitting on lithium and other precious metals we need, to only interviewing the generals and Blob talking heads (similar to the fixation the press has with interviewing unvaccinated people, rural Trump voters, etc.). The way I see it is there are purely partisan networks (Fox, MSNBC, etc) and there are opportunistic networks, and each has a vested interest in spinning this as atrocity rather than placing it contextually as a generational end to a war.
I recognize the risk and reality of brutality the country now faces at the hands of the Taliban, but where was this fury when our Afghan trained military was raping young boys en masse? Where does the frustration over the hundreds of billions funneled to a few Northern Virginia area contractors and arms manufacturers and war think tanks who just took this huge L go?
