Subject: RE: Afghanistan - then and now
You could easily have listed another dozen or two countries that Britain didn't exactly leave in great shape, Maggie, but this is no time for excuse via whataboutery. At least Biden has promised that never again will the US move in to make countries. That would be progress. But you don't have to actually move in in order to fatally interfere. Just back your proxies, as in Central America and Chile. The CIA are quite good at organising that. And I wonder where Israel would be today were it not for the unconditional support of the US. As I say, you don't actually have to move in...
