#2 Woke whipping boys (default):
Seek out white men. Blame them first.
Next, blame Russians of all types
Then blame working-class white men and women
Then blame white male active-duty servicemen
Then blame white males in other countries
Then blame supporters of Trump

Then repeat the cycle, only faster, until everything conflates:
Trump white male Russian white Trump supremacist working-class white males ALL TOGETHER NOW! TrumpTrumpRussRussTruWhiteSupremaRussianTrump-ifragilistic-expeali-docious

#3 What kind of dim wit gave it any credibility to begin with? Were we supposed to gargle some preposterous scene of Afghans who had given up on violence, bloodletting and butchery.

Ah, pity the poor Afghan riddled with alpine ennui as he is. No longer able to take joy in former past times. No goat, AK, or PKM can arouse any sign of interest. So timid have they become they must be induced by their close friends the notoriously cheap Russians to go froth and kill again. Only a solid offer of a good Russian check, which they can almost certainly cash a lot of places can rouse them from their rural torpor.

One of the more sensible arguments for leaving that I heard some years ago at this point went to the effect that once we are gone they go back to killing each other and probably rack up a better body count. Of al the nonsense that comes out of DC this was low grade, even by their standards.

#4 Of al the nonsense that comes out of DC this was low grade, even by their standards. It was nonsense on stilts for a while, and many poorly informed members of the US electorate still believe it.
