They're wrong.
It's way worse than that.
America's technology advantage 75 years ago was awesome enough, but nothing near what it was in Afghanistan.
The Viet Cong had semi-peer benefactors, Russia and China.
The Talibs have basically one benefactor, from the "shit-hole" part of the map; Pakistan.
And yet, America has thrown in the towel. Conceded defeat.
Lost.
Besides... they got bigger fish to fry. The People's Liberation Army is just spoiling for a fight, and they are a super-dooper threat to the American way of life. So we gotta let bygones be bygones, and not live in the past. Afghanistan would have turned out hunky-dory if the dumb-ass Afghans had been smart enough to figure out their best interests.
The Chinese are smarter, and they will for sure shower us with rose-petals when we lead them to freedom and democracy. Human rights too.
**********
Western media are up a stump on these developments. Blaming Trump is becoming a bit of a shabby gambit.
The Indispensable Nation and the City on a Hill are up the same stump. Blinken blamed the Afghan people today for "their loss of freedom."
Neither Biden or Blinken or anyone else in America's ruling class is capable of seeing this from Afghanistan's perspective. America's withdrawal and surrender is not a loss of freedom.
It is victory over a foreign invader.
