She was in Singapore and unaffected. The incident was in Hanoi, where she hadn't yet traveled to.

The VP is usually a worthless job. It will just be vacant and they’ll pick a new VP that will be confirmed by Congress. Nancy doesn’t want either the Presidency or VP. Too much scrutiny for the former and not enough power in the later.

Yep. It's interesting to see people so brazen. Thanks Biden for your weak leadership

Ehhh, never mind she’s leaving Hanoi. Thought she was incapacitated.

Who is our largest trading partner? Oh right, China as well. Sorry, there are things beyond finances that prosperous countries weigh into consideration. Seriously, have you ever talked to a non-commie German? Do you think they want to live under Chinese rules? No, they don’t. Germany of all countries understand the destruction of your culture for profit. You don’t remotely understand their mindset. Absolute bollocks you think they’d choose to be aligned with China over us. Germany would have to be extremely desperate to do so.
Trust me, Germany is not happy at all about this map and see it as a major problem. They are not short sighted idiots and know this needs to be changed:
I’ll just agree to disagree to avoid becoming what I myself, among others, have complained about in this thread, especially because this topic is not the intent of the thread.

Damn, this is from Newsweek of all places:
Afghan Officers: Biden 'Abandoned' us.
quote:
The Afghan army relied on a network of planes and helicopters to deliver food, fuel, and ammunition to outlying outposts. Helicopters were needed to ferry the wounded and deliver replacement soldiers. Even the bases on Kabul’s mountainous approaches had to be supplied by helicopters.
While the Afghan Army had one of Central Asia’s largest fleet of choppers, he said, virtually all the mechanics and maintenance crew were U.S. contractors, many of which were withdrawn months ago. Helicopter repair facilities and spare-parts warehouses were largely located at Bagram Air Base, which was shuttered by the U.S. military several weeks before the Taliban took control. Fuel, once delivered by the U.S., was also in short supply.

It’s impossible to defend yourself when the lynchpin of your defense capabilities is taken away from you by an “ally” overnight without any warning.
Biden, the foreign diplomacy expert ladies and gentlemen.
Believe Biden when he said outright the US has no interest in that country.

And this is what’s so sad…. There is zero reason to not have all Americans out by now… but if we would have done in the first place what I said we should do this thread would be over.

Exactly. She’s a liberal fricking count but she’s OUR liberal fricking count who happens to be our vice president. Attack her and you’re attacking America.

Don't worry here is a security check at the Kabul airport.

On why they won’t give us a concrete answer on how many Americans they’ve evacuated from Afghanistan, this mouth breather says “Uhhhhhhhh… because the number’s changing by the hour.”
And the journalist to her credit replies “But so is everything else.” Yeah, no shite. Are mass numbers of Americans going into Afghanistan to negatively impact the data? Is anyone going back? Is there a couple out there saying “Listen, we’ve been saving up for years to see the opium grow on the side of the Hindu Kush mountains, so I don’t give a shite what’s going on over there, we’re going!”
