china takes a similar propaganda approach as Russia did earlier:

All of this in the face of truth from multiple sources on the ground.

It was a mistake to have faith in the Afgahni army.


It was a bigger mistake to abandoned our Afghan allies and interpreters to be killed.

What kind of fool pulls out of a secure military base only to use an airport as a staging area?

They can’t even understand why this is a failure. It’s not a failure because we are leaving. We all agreed with that. It’s the plan that has resulted in 10’s of 1,000’s of people at risk and will Ultimately be killed

How bad is it going to get if the Taliban round up a bunch of Americans as hostages and start making demands?

Go back and find it. You're not even reading responses, evidently.


I just went back. The only link provided was this one:

LINK

It’s from Tuesday last week about how Biden was thinking about vacationing in Delaware. It’s completely unrelated to Biden heading to Camp David on Friday and was before the Taliban was threatening Kabul. Is there some other link you thought was posted?

How in the world does that article show that Biden heading to Camp David on Friday was a vacation?

They're desperately glossing over the details, to sell the overarching theme of leaving.

Not necessarily a deflection, I brought it up as a parallel hypothetical.


Thank you, my statement base purely on this boards reaction to this happening under trump. Not whether or not events would have unfolded differently

Oh, they understand. This is how they try to change the narrative and get people like Le Jerk to believe and accept that it was always going to be this “messy” so we just have to accept all the people that may die.

What's this?

A German evac plane circled the airport for around 5 hours. It was finally able to land, but very few Germans were at the airport to evac. The plane was forced to leave with "a handful" of people aboard.

German civilians were supposed to he at the airport for evac.

Spot on. They know its a disaster, they're just pushing the "leaving" theme to get the true believers to do their work on social media.

Several countries have citizens stuck there. Another glaring sign it wasn’t supposed to go down like this.

Which is a disingenuous argument because literally no one of note is saying we should have stayed.

As i said messy and it was always going to be this way. If you believe otherwise then you are the fool.


Ah the old everyone would have done it this way so it's perfectly fine excuse.

Despite the fact that's total a bullshite cop out to excuse Biden's incompetece. Trump would have bought the civilians home before pulling out the military and he wouldn't have left the weapons to the Taliban.

But besides that, yeah this was totally unavoidable.

Well if trump was president the Q-tards would be spinning this as some media circle jerk and actually went this is the best exit ever.

While Reddit would be calling for his head as they did every day, including today because they are still obsessed with trump

Trump isn’t in charge. Stop bringing him in it.

What is Biden doing right now ? This is a disaster. Worse than Carter and LBJ.

Our military was supposed to leave sept 11th

Biden moved it up to last week

Why?

Do we think that impacted how this turned out?
