An Afghan contractor who worked for the US military was killed by the Taliban after appearing in an Emmy-winning documentary despite warnings it would endanger him, according to a report.
Why would you expect such an empire to help him once he was of no further use?
Like if they wanted to help people like him, they wouldn’t be there in the first place, let alone funding the very worst warlords, protecting the drug trade, locking people up in blacksites and torturing them, protecting Blackwater and others from prosecution for their crimes, etc.
You have to be really, really fucking evil for people to support the Taliban over you.
Maybe the empire that invaded his country should have done more to protect him once he outlived their usefulness.

I expect everyone to get the people who help them into a safe place. Sadly, my expectations are usually not realized.
