Sixty days ago, a lilfetime in these miserable Biden years, our Government raised the Gay Pride flag above our Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. A week ago we abandoned Afghanistan in the most callous, unthinking, and destructive way possible.
In the process we condemned Afghanistan’s entire LGBT community to torture and murder.
If that’s not the perfect symbol of a fading empire where signalling virture is more important than even the most horrific result, then nothing does.
