Why don’t we start with Afghanistan? The humanitarian situation there has been negatively effected by trade being cut off. That’s the only consideration, right? /s
The sad thing is, parts of Lemmy might not dislike the Taliban, either.
Sure, like assuming Islam is a region isn’t racist. At least the people that want to bomb (the fictional city of) Agrabah don’t pretend to care about Muslims.
FWIW Iranians don’t even love being lumped in with the Arabs. Afghanistan is culturally Persian, and closer to the central Asian steppe homelands and south Asia than to the Middle East.

Is this honestly how simplistically you see the world? You think that is analogous to what people are saying? Amazing.
If you don’t understand why we shouldn’t let Trump and his posse bully anyone they like in the western hemisphere, you’re more like CanadaMinus
No way western propaganda makes it impossible to support any middle eastern country not already allied with the US.
Who mentioned the Middle East?
If you’re going to white knight a country, at least be able to find it on a map.
Bordering the middle east my bad I don’t care about colony borders made by racist white people in history.
Afghanistan also shares a border with China. Do you consider that a ‘colony borders made by racist white people in history’?
