In America it’s an established pattern. Use and discard. Like fast food containers.
I can never forgive nor forget what we did to the Pakistani doctor who was pivotal in the capture of Osama bin Laden. Along with our shock troops, he and his family should have been airlifted. But he was abandoned. Declared a ‘traitor’ by extremists he and his family were hounded and threatened. It’s purported that he was paid handsomely for collaborating. As he damn well should’ve been! And resettled in USA. I wonder what happened to him eventually. But that’s us. Thousands of afghani support staff and progressives left behind will be butchered, their women raped, children enslaved, educated young girls married off to old barbaric mountain men. Shudder. The immorality of it all! The ludicrous inability to think beyond the first chess move. Or ignominy of a deliberate imperialist policy? Utter disgust.
