I’m paraphrasing a Fox News guest
If you were a girl born in Kabul in late 2002 or so you have only known an American lead government. Yes you knew if violence in the country side but you have been allowed to go to school, to walk the streets, work, and basically live your life as you saw fit.
That all changes now.

The saga of that particular German evac plane is crazy. It circled Kabul for five hours. When it was finally able to land, the pilots were told very few, or no Germans were at the airport, which was documented to be 100% incorrect info. The plane was then directed to take off so it wouldn't hold up other planes. It had 7 Germans on board when hundreds were supposed to be ar the airport waiting for evac.
This is like if you put the last days of Saigon, the Titanic sinking, and a goddamn Greek tragedy in a blender operated by Rhesus monkeys.

Still better leadership than what we have now.

US leadership in the world is gone. Everyone is on their own.
Then the thought hit me... maybe they won't help.

With everything that keeps coming out of our military via back channels, laying this debacle squarely at the feet of the Afghan Army "not wanting to fight" doesn't stand up.
It actually makes that line and the accusations about the Afghan army very despicable.

Man we really look like monkeys trying to frick a football with this operation.

Rhesus monkeys could at least accidentally turn the blender on.
Biden would unplug it and throw it in the trash

I can’t blame them. We didn’t even tell them before we tried to sneak out in the middle of the night. Not only did we abandon our own citizens and afghan helpers, we put them in that same position without any notice at all. That every world leader isn’t calling for Biden’s head right now is a miracle only US cash can buy.

Political purges in military and foreign affairs leadership, incompetent executive branch, and a media that had been so complicit with one political party now finally waking up and doing their jobs.

Apparently, Afghani President Ghani has released a video for the first time. FoxNews doesn't have a translator though.
Someone call in Chris Wallace so he can translate for us please. I'm sure he will get every word correct just like he does with the information he provides to the public.

I have not watched the MSM since the election. Are they really talking bad about the administration?

This is a very good point.

The end result of progressive policy and "leadership".

It’s payback for fricking them by leaving in the middle of the night.
