Maybe if Trump didn't have to spend all 4 years of his administration fighting enemies down the hall and across the street, he could have focused more of his efforts on actual important shite other than what the media and democrat assholes wanted to narrate.

The "anti-war" left flipped their shite when Trump talked about getting out of both Afghanistan and Syria simply as a default opposition to him. They're horrible human beings.

Everyone knows this wouldn't be happening in quite this manner if trump was president


If this exact thing were happening there would be at least 10 MSM networks calling for his resignation or impeachment.

Too bad Biden didn't give him a heads up on how much he was about to frick up Afghanistan, dude could still be governor and nobody would be talking about him anymore.

Withdrawal was the right call, and Biden should be credited with that.


You do realize that Biden already blamed the choice to withdraw on Trump, right? He said he was just following through on promises made by the previous administration. He doesn’t even get credit for the withdrawal decision based on his own admission.

There isn’t a single bright spot in this disaster for this administration. Sorry, but this is bad…

could really use a calm reassuring message from the President of the US that they will be taken care of and to remain calm.


Wut?

You think some nice words from our president are going to make this all better?

There are people ITT seriously struggling with the very simple concept of ideas and implementation. Devil is in the details.

You can make a correct decision, and still implement your plan so terribly, to the point it becomes a shite show, which is what happened.

Perfect example.

Once the Oligarch decides he's had enough of Biden, he's gone.

Whenever Biden does reappear he’s just going to blame everything on the previous administration and claim that there was nothing he could have done to prevent this

The military establishment was going to milk this cow until it was a rotting corpse with nothing on the bones. They are the ones that should be held accountable for this fiasco. Administrations come and go but these assholes have the blood of a lot of individuals on their hands. All for a profit. 2.2 Trillion, HOLY shite !!!
It took us 20 years to get out from the funk of Vietnam, it will be worse for this.

In another forum I follow, one of the members is on one of those aircraft and is actively sending updates. They spent 6 hours on the runway in Qatar. They have no food, little water and are dealing with heat related injuries. After 6 hours they went wheels up heading for Kuwait with no known plan in place once they get there.

Who are "they"? Official Taliban? Probably not. A roving group of shitheads who hate America and don't think the Taliban are religious enough? Who knows.

You can't think of this situation in terms of what you know from a typical American command and control. Most Taliban fighters are tribe first, Allah second, Taliban third. If some schmuck thinks it benefits him to bring down a plane that plane will come down.

And what would it take? A grenade in an engine? A rocket? There’s so much available hardware lying around right now, and no security.

China has sensed the lack of American leadership and now openly threatening Taiwan.
