Makes me laugh when people say this. Like I am curious what media you are watching? I watched clips from CNN, MSNBC, Fox, etc. All are pretty negative about whats going on in Afghanistan, they are pretty clearly "scolding" him over it.
The obvious answer to that is the news sources I usually watch ( and it’s a variety) a lot of the time are scolding politicians including the USA ones are taking a different tone discussing the Tiliban situation . You could have considered that in your comment given that I haven’t said which country I’m watching from @Pherick
