They are being blocked at the border. The Taliban won’t let them leave. The ones who got out and participated in interviews (ie the ones we hear about) talk about how their families back home are being harassed, hiding.

How is this line up with ‘liberty’? The US gov can’t stop intruding into the private sphere.
I think they do care about kids but it’s a dumb argument to take. Kids are helpless, everything can hurt them. Unless it’s something legal that is specifically causing kids harm and can be regulated, like guns, then bringing kids into the debate is just going for easy points.
If you learn more about political science you’ll find that there is more nuance, it’s not so simple as all or nothing.
This is a baseless claim I don’t know why it’s getting support other than the fact the people seem to like hating on a tool.
I know way too little about this to have an actual opinion about it. I read the article just as a way to learn more about what’s going on with those people right now. At the very least their lives are ruined, and we’re mostly just hearing from the refugees.
Ending quote: The man blames the former Afghan government under Ashraf Ghani and the international coalition, which operated in the country for 20 years, for “everything falling apart so quickly.” “We have lost everything, even our hope for the future. We’re living in a country of lies, a country that no longer exists,” he concludes.
The internet doesn’t need to be a place where we yell at each other and throw hate around. If you’re using lemmy make an effort to be a good person if you’re able.

Don’t worry I don’t try too hard! I know it’s a lost cause, but I also won’t let them set us up as the problem if it’s easy for me to show them in the wrong.
I don’t know a lot about the region, but I think this gives Russia access to some large oil deposits and excellent agricultural land. It will also give them more strength in the region. I think it’s worth extending the war to try and limit those gains. It’s a good situation for the US.
If you are actually interested in that you can follow the white house blog. Liberal or not it’s a good idea to keep tabs on what the government is up to and the mainstream media/social media are garbage news sources these days.

Politics is actually boring AF so there’s a reason most of us don’t know what the government is actually doing all the time.
I don’t think any of us should be making assumptions about how many birds/bats are being killed without looking up the numbers. At least back when I was in school and learning about windmills (a decade ago) there were concerns because wind farms were often located along migratory pathways for birds. And it’s not just ‘birds’ that die, it can be an important species within the trophic level that gets decimated, and then there are consequences of that felt within the food web. It’s not as bad as a city, but we’re talking about introducing something new into the environment, and people should talk about the potential issues. We should be able to have both sides arguments about this stuff, since we’re still likely to agree it’s the right choice to replace carbon plants.
If you were an ecologist it wouldn’t be so easy to claim others are ignorant when they bring up concerns about renewable energy harming the natural spaces they are introduced into.
