Biden's "Build Back Better" program suits the Taliban well. Now we have the new & improved Taliban with a huge inventory of military equipment left as an early Christmas gift.
SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON THE DEMOCRATS, JOE BIDEN & ALL THE FRICKIN' IDIOTS WHO VOTED FOR HIM.

Update 17. The Taliban have taken over Kabul and are now setting their target on the Kabul International Airport. Heavy heavy heavy shelling at the Airport from the North, South, East, and West by the Taliban. There are over 10,000 Americans who are currently stranded and unconfirmed reports that the US Embassy may have been breached. The US Embassy did relocate to the Airport two hours ago but lots of Americans are still at the Embassy under a stay put order. Reports that of American casualties have started trickling in.


This is what happens when you have a useless shite stain in the White House being advised by equally useless shite stains.

Taliban had a pretty good deal. They had to live in caves for a while, but they got their country and cities built back better than ever before with no debt and no interest. That's a pretty good deal, if you ask me.

That tends to shake your faith in your allies, and more importantly greatly increases the faith in your enemies that they are now free to do whatever they wish without reprisal.



But the Taliban were free to do what they wanted without reprisal after Doha, as they resumed operations against the Afghan government 4 days after the conclusion of talks, and were likely violating one of the conditions of the agreement during negotiations. The spent all of 2020 with relative freedom to organize how they wished, and insisted upon a prisoner release that was agreed with the US, but not with the Afghan government, which is its own issue.

Canada has also "temporarily" closed their Embassy. That is notable because that appears to have been where alot of the highest risk Afghans were told to go for help.

And pulling the troops out in the middle of the night without telling anyone let them know it was time to take total control.
