ABC (part of the DNC propaganda machine) even turned on him and admitted it was common knowledge what would occur.


Watching ABC right now and they are absolutely destroying Biden. They haven't said this much negative about a Democrat in the last 10 years combined.

I posted the abc news article a few pages back.

I posted it yesterday when they broke the story. What this guy is asking a source for has been common knowledge for around 24hrs now.

Of course. But it is possible, even expected, that you evacuate everyone before you turn it over to the Afghan army.



It could have been better, but war is hell and nothing ever goes "right".

Not directed at you , I just dont get all the people here saying they are ashamed to be americans right now, that shite is lame as frick.

At some point people need to stand up for themselves. Those dudes that took a ride on the airplane only to fall off. Pick up a gun and fight, if you die you die, at least you didnt die trying to fly on the outside of a plane. Youre dead anyway, might as well take some of those other assholes with you.

Did he even give Americans stuck there now any sort of resources to contact, a timeline, or the logistics of how their evacuation will be handled?

Also, where is he going from there? Back to the pool and ice cream shop?

Joe in his own mind is a foreign policy genius, who has been wrong on every foreign policy decision in the last 40 years. Well documented. It makes him doublely dangerous considering his diminished capacity.

He provided nothing for the people being left behind and will be dead before the end of the week.

I was unaware the rapid reaction force from the 82nd Airborne deployed to Kuwait were supposed to be on the ground on Thursday, then Sunday they were diverted direct to Kabul and this evening they are still delayed in arriving because of the fiasco at the airport.
If only the 82nd Airborne was trained in some sort of alternative insertion technique.

Losing Bagram is going to be one of the worst decisions made in a long, long, time.

Put your troops there and use it as a US launch pad.

I'm sitting here looking up the JCoS and varied branch of military top brass trying to figure out what the hell the issue is with this one operation. Simply, I won't forgive Biden for this but I cannot wrap my head around the logistical and strategic mistakes that have happened and continue to happen on the ground. This shite just is a gigantic failure on so many levels.

Because Biden just sentenced their non-American journalists to a death sentence. Because he confirmed he was leaving the Afghans and others behind.

State Dept just stated that if you aren't at Kabul Airport to stay in place at your shelter.

We didn’t lose it. We abandoned it and chose to go to the other airport. Read reports that was Biden’s decision but no link. One of many articles I’ve read since last night. Sure it can be googled.

Doesn’t take any of the blame. Basically calls the Afghanis cowards. Meanwhile we have people over here who flip their fricking shite saying I’m going to kill them if I don’t wear a mask. How the hell does he not resign over this. Scumbag!

When your military brass is more concerned with politics and optics and not winning wars, you get these kinds of defeats. It happens every major engagement. The political military leaders get exposed and fired and are replaced with competent leadership that run people the wrong way. Either that happens or the military gets destroyed.
