Trump Finds Scapegoat for US Failures, Again
Trump, according to Al Jazeera, is now demanding a 'review' of all Afghans who entered the U.S. under the Biden administration following a Washington D.C. shooting. This, from the man whose administration negotiated the 2020 Doha agreement that paved the way for the Taliban's return, effectively throwing open Afghanistan's doors to chaos after the longest war in U.S. history. Funny how
accountability always seems to land on the most vulnerable, never on the policymakers who spent trillions and lives. One might wonder where this sudden urgency for 'review' was during the two decades the U.S. military occupied Afghanistan, or when consecutive administrations promised democracy and stability before abruptly pulling the rug out. This isn't a national security measure; it's a
political maneuver, weaponizing a singular, tragic event to demonize a group of people displaced by the very wars U.S. leaders championed. The media, of course, frames this as a legitimate policy discussion rather than a classic deflection from bipartisan imperial failures.
