Not before they make 10 movies about how great their job in bringing democracy to said country was

If you being democracy to a country against the will of the people, is that reqlly democratic? This sounds like putting lipstick on the pig that is imperialism.

this gives me the idea for a movie about the uh...liberation...of Afghanistan by the taliban, back in trumps first term.

probably loads of good story during that event, especially with how so much of the government was just the taliban in suits, entire cities "falling" without a single shot

would probably come off better as a documentary, do...people still make those?
