Just a reminder that NATO is participating in a literal genocide in Yemen and US is starving Afghanistan. Weirdly very little coverage about that right now.
What’s your take on that?
My theory is that the USA pulled out when it did because it saw a famine was coming. The famine might have happened anyway, but it’s much worse because of the USA’s past and present actions.
I think they likely pulled out because they were overstretched and Taliban was about to win anyways. And then they stole the Afghanistan’s funds which is what the cause of the famine is now. They literally have no money to buy food for their people because US robbed them.
Could be.
About the other thing you said
Weirdly very little coverage about that right now.
It’s partly cynical geo-politics. And it’s partly racism. But IMO there’s another reason. The somalis don’t have good internet and ubiquitous smartphones. If they did, their story would be everywhere. News isn’t about journalists trekking into warzones anymore - it’s people posting their own footage and the internet picking up on it. Without the footage there is no news.
You can debate if it’s the most important factor but it’s definitely a part of it.
