Quite a few would disagree with that view, giving how many fled their own country when the Taliban took over again. But hey, don't let that narrative ruin your perspective. Lol

Of course people who cooperate with occupiers usually want out when the occupation ends. They don't want to face the consequences of selling out their country.

And of course "when people leave a Bad Country it's for political reasons, when they leave a Good Country it's for economic reasons" applies.
