US Suspends Afghan Visas For Attack: Because Logic
This is, naturally, the kind of nuanced foreign policy you'd expect from a nation that spent two decades 'nation-building' in Afghanistan only to pull out and leave the country in chaos. The narrative here is clear: collective punishment for an act allegedly committed by one, convenient scapegoating, and forgetting the millions displaced or endangered by our own intervention. One might wonder if
the same swift, broad-brush logic would apply to visa suspensions from countries where US-backed actors commit atrocities. (Spoiler: it doesn't). It appears 'national security' is a flexible term, often redefined to justify abandoning those we previously claimed to protect, particularly when it comes to individuals escaping the very instability we helped create.
