There's currently a british guy called Lord Miles in Kabul having a wonderful time.

He is now in a safe house after not being able to get out and is live-streaming when he can

I can’t remember. I’m just talking about the aftermath. “What difference does it make” became the tag line tho. I imagine this round will be the same. I realize it’s worse but I just don’t see this being bad for Biden. Unless this is their way to get him out and the whore in charge.
What if more Americans die from this than the entirety of the War in Afghanistan over 20 years? 2,400 died there, so 10,000 gives us a number where that’s extremely plausible. I don’t see how Biden crawls his way out of this.

Sadly, you may be correct, tigerfan4life. I would hope that this country would demand his impeachment or resignation if Americans are harmed and Biden does nothing.

I do. He's a Democrat.

It's almost like you and others are hoping this happens for political points. Kinda sick man.

A couple of interesting tweets from a guy tracking air traffic around Afghanistan:

All military planes evacuating people from #Kabul are passing through Pak airspace. Probably part of deal. By the way no military plane passing through Iran airspace. #Kabulevacuation #evacuation

Very interesting to watch military planes suddenly disappear entering Pak airspace and reappear near #Kabul. Without Pak help evacuation would have been more painful.

I don’t disagree with the severity and appropriateness of the comparison, but I lost all faith in people like Biden being accountable for anything. I will admit I’m wrong if it does cost him before the next election.

We already see democrats lining and praising Biden for a job well done.

Our superpower status is officially over. Damned glad I didn't push my son into Annapolis or Colorado Springs for Colleg.

Not sure about this one, either, but....yikes, if it is real and recent. So much for "peaceful".

Not sure if already posted, even so it’s worth reposting:
