As if it was all OK before? It's not better or worse after, just different. Without 9/11 the US wouldn't be involved in 2 forever wars and 3 more long ones and wouldn't be heightening it's contradictions towards collapse. So instead of collapsing on 2090 it'll collapse in 2040. What's bad for the US isn't good or bad for the world. It just closes opportunities and opens others. I happen to think the opportunities to us now are better than the old ones.
9/11 sure wasn't good for America, but was definitely worse for the world. GWOT is a disaster that killed millions and put down dozens of burgeoning socialist projects developing in the wake of neoliberal colonialism.
The phrase only makes sense of you do it through class, "What's bad for the American Imperialist bourgeoisie is good for everyone else". Because for the average American, there isn't a whole lotta good.
I don’t follow...why would withdrawing from Afghanistan put the troops at risk? I’m not trying to debate or anything but I literally cannot follow the rationale for it lol
That talking point was making the rounds on CNN/MSNBC by the Susan Rice types after Trump tried bringing home troops. The thinking is the region will be de-stabilized if we leave, imperiling troops in the neighborhood.
It's just a way to acclimate libs to the idea of troops staying on the ground in perpetuity.

9/11 would like to disagree with that last statement

If 9/11 didn't happen the US still would have invaded Iraq.
My Magic Eight Ball agrees with this comment.

It'll be more of the same. 'We can't take out the troops from Afghanistan because that would endanger the troops'.
My lib family say 'We need troops there' but can't explain their rationale, the imperial police state is thoroughly intwined into lib DNA.
