On the micro level, it didn't have to be this much of a shite show getting people out of Afghanistan



As discussed in the first couple of pages of this thread

It's not this vs. perfection

It's historic foreign policy/military disaster vs. the expected shitshow

We should bomb every piece of us military equipment, every ammo fuel dump warehouse and every other military looking we can find in Afghanistan after we pull out.

Lots of people pretending to care about US lives only now when they have been lost over the past 20 years as a direct result of being in that country.


The loss of US lives in war is inevitable, and sad. But at least they were given a clear mission, the best weapons in the world, fighting amongst the best trained in the world, and put in a position to succeed by their leaders.

The situation Biden put these soldiers in today is not what I typed above. That's the difference.

I feel like this is such a huge event, it should get its own thread instead of buried in this behemoth.

No one is denying that the Taliban would have taken back over if we withdrew


Pretty sure some guy named Joe Biden was saying that as recently as July.

One of these I think they said was a car bomb

Taliban has multiple checkpoints.

They are checking cars. No way a car bomb gets to that hotel unless Taliban let it through.

That is a big red flag to me.

Everytime I think of Sec of State Blinken.


I think of Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
