If they actually move to take Taiwan, then I'm seriously concerned for a ww3
Well Chinese State Media has openly said once (not if) they invade that we won’t be there to save them, they’ve lied and said that Taiwan crossed the line saying that they now need to do military exercises in their territory, and they are now fortifying every barge they can find. It’s going to be a month or two before they can really pull it off, but they’ve gotten to the point of saying “frick the Olympics” and are now going in for the kill.

Agreed. Jail for all of them.

I think his entire tenure so far has been an unmitigated disaster, but you keep posting this as if it's even an option for him. Did you not listen to his speech yesterday? He doesn't see anything wrong with what's happened and says they have planned for this.
If your have it in your head he would even entertain the idea of stepping down, you will be sorely
disappointed.
People aren’t going to take this are they? Just think of the number of families that are shitting their pants right now.

Intelligence Warned of Afghan Military Collapse, Despite Biden’s Assurances
quote:
Even as the president was telling the public that Kabul was unlikely to fall, intelligence assessments painted a grimmer picture.
quote:
WASHINGTON — Classified assessments by American spy agencies over the summer painted an increasingly grim picture of the prospect of a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan and warned of the rapid collapse of the Afghan military, even as President Biden and his advisers said publicly that was unlikely to happen as quickly, according to current and former American government officials.
By July, many intelligence reports grew more pessimistic, questioning whether any Afghan security forces would muster serious resistance and whether the government could hold on in Kabul, the capital. President Biden said on July 8 that the Afghan government was unlikely to fall and that there would be no chaotic evacuations of Americans similar to the end of the Vietnam War.
The drumbeat of warnings over the summer raise questions about why Biden administration officials, and military planners in Afghanistan, seemed ill-prepared to deal with the Taliban’s final push into Kabul, including a failure to ensure security at the main airport and rushing thousands more troops back to the country to protect the United States’ final exit.
One report in July — as dozens of Afghan districts were falling and Taliban fighters were laying siege to several major cities — laid out the growing risks to Kabul, noting that the Afghan government was unprepared for a Taliban assault, according to a person familiar with the intelligence.

You have to understand that a great number of progressives see nothing different between January 6th and what's going on now in Afghanistan.

I can’t believe they don’t see the difference.
They may lie to themselves and be willfully ignorant, but they know there’s a HUGE gulf deep down.

Just nosey and curious, but why won’t you watch? I usually like your insight on most topics. I’m very interested to hear what Trump has to say about this but I don’t have FNC to watch it live.

Of course they are. But that's beside the point of you asking if Biden will resign.
He won't resign and his base and his media overlords will forget all about this in short order and get back to being the propaganda wing if his administration.

In all honesty, I prefer reading news. I used to be all in on the pundits and talking heads. I just got to where I thought they clouded things too much. I'll just read the recap of the highlights. It seems to work better for me that way.

Progressivism attracts a lot of populists who frankly, aren't the brightest bulbs.
