They don’t care about your feelings lady. It’s their culture, sure we may not agree to their ways, but lots of countries don’t agree with our ways. Respect their ways, and we may have peace.
thats a hypocritical statement when you consider that the constitution names rights for all people, not just citizens. that means “our ways” or “our thinking” of protecting life and liberty of all people extends beyond borders. sure, if the U.S. followed George Washington’s intention we wouldve been an isolationist nation like Sweden but the Truman Doctrine is what led to Streep voicing her opinion ultimately.
another way of saying this is that if another countries “ways” directly violate the “rights to life and liberty” that our nation “holds dear”, we are morally obligated to step in during global crises (which we did, like Syria’s civil war, etc)
She is not political smart
THEIR ways? Their women do not agree with THEIR ways. Do the men get to decide what will be their ways? The women need rights and to feel free to leave or set about making change. They currently don’t have those rights and will be punished for any action contrary to what has been decided for them. So yes, this lady gets to speak up for the many women who don’t currently have a voice.
@@TitanTekkitthe Constitution only applies to people inside the United States. We have already fought a war in that country and left. Why go back when very few people even want to fight for our rights inside this country?
It’s sad that how America dumped Afghanistan after using their land against USSR. US is responsible for their current situation.
Hmm. You believe the Soviet vision for Afghanistan was gonna be wonderful for the people there? They were already fighting against Soviet occupation before US aided them.
No, Russia is responsible, because their invasion upended everything in Afghanistan. 😢
It scares me that the Republica Christian Coalition will do the same in America. It why I no longer consider either.
@Catsanddogslivingtogether we don’t participate in some evil people’s delusions just because they identify as Christian. 👍🏾👌🏾
The US is NOT responsible for the current state of Afghanistan. Afghanistan is responsible for Afghanistan. Read that again.
I weep for the ladies under oppression there, and had i been deployed there instead of Iraq I might think differently. However; other than the American embassies inside, and in surrounding countries, offering asylum to ladies that wish it, through a concentrated relocation effort, i see no other option at this point.
Yes it is because the way the us left caused this
If trump wins we may all face these restrictions.
Don’t be fooled Christian Nationalism is just as dangerous as the taliban.
Guess Iraq is responsible for the state of affairs there too huh? Soldiers don’t help anywhere they go. You’re as responsible as anyone..
US is responsible for a lot of evil in the world.
That is the truth. Talking of freedom. And getting to look at the Sun, that gives energy, or sing as the moon rises, what a shame some in the modern world give credence to the monsters
when your celebrity has ‘sway’ 🙄
Maga wants the same
And Biden left them there. Knowing all of this.
Donald Trump signed that agreement with the Taliban.
This happened BEFORE BIDEN. The entire time the troops were there, this was going on. Was Biden supposed to take every woman out od there? Pretty sure that is kidnapping. We were not fixing anything over there.
Both the US and the Soviet destroyed the country and the society of that country.
👑🦁🦁🦁 Narcissistic leaders🦁🦁🦁👑
Remember we spent 20 years there trying to help these people and it took Donald Trump 5 minutes to sign an agreement with the Taliban to take them back. All this is on Donald Trump
So well put. It’s not the culture or a particular religion that’s to blame, but just another sad case of insecure men with guns making people’s lives unnecessarily miserable. Much love to those women and girls. This too shall pass. ❤✊🏾
A girl in Afghanistan may not chase a squirrel into the park. Good point, Meryl.
Meryl Streep signals her virtue
what about Palestine
and who upended it in the first place?
Does Sandra Bullock agree with this? “A squirrel has more rights than a girl” is too “Green Eggs and Ham.”
Discussing these issues with informed depth and credibility is very important. Afghanistan is to blame for its own internal policies.
