      I don't consume much American media, but from what I've heard of their response to Biden leaving Afghanistan from podcasts, they went all-in on covering the bad stuff that happened after we left.

      CNN and the like put Biden on blast for leaving, even though it was a rare good thing from him. US media and the MIC are basically the same thing.

          Look at the trendline, they match the withdrawl and the media onslaught pretty perfectly.

          You literally said it yourself earlier, the demonic American public only cares about culture war and getting pantsed on the world stage is losing the culture war.

          Americans do not give a fuck about him being a.creep wtf

            I don't think people care about Biden being a sex pest, but I also don't think that Americans care about Afghanistan that much. Especially not now. I'd wager that Biden's unpopularity has to do that he completely bungled Covid, there's few good jobs to be had, things are getting scarce / more expensive, and there is little hope for the future.

            I really doubt anyone cares about Afghanistan -- it seems very far removed from what influences our lives.

          It changes the way media covers his administration, which means he gets hit harder from anything that occurs after the withdrawal.

      from everything i saw of it, it had nothing to do with foreign policy or afghanistan itself, but everything to do with america being publicly humiliated
