The World Leadership is Already Forgetting Afghanistan - Diversions and Distractions are the Order of the Day

Reader comment on item: Reflections on the Debacle in Afghanistan: Interview
in response to reader comment: Afghanistan is Not Over - Recriminations Notwithstanding

Submitted by M Tovey (United States), Nov 2, 2021 at 11:10

Determined to not let anyone forget what is still happening in Afghanistan as more suicided detonations are the preferred path for frustrated murderers not satisfied in the Taliban retaking the mujahedeen legacy, the world leadership is caught taking a nap while trying to decide the casualty toll of homicidal rages of disaffected ambitions of empire versus organizing an armed response towards the offenders of pollution-causing changes of atmospheric conditions while declaring faux unity in a global celebration of eliminating survivors guilt.
Apparently, Glasgow is still too close to the actions of a world community unable to discover the real reason peace and harmony are not achievable in the future, either near term or decades away. After all, were any of the programs written in Russian or Chinese? How about Pashtu, Dari, Azeri; did any of that get representation?
