Thank you to

I'm not trying to shhhh anyone. I'm trying to keep the discussion on how horrible Biden's evacuation plan was and what possible solutions there are. Not on Ron Paul being right 20 years ago or on how Trump is being wrongfully blamed--both of which I agree with.

I was just pointing out a simple logical fallacy that is often made when discussing politics, especially on social media.

I apologize, it went in a direction I did not intend.

Putting this on this page:

NEW: US halted flights for Afghan interpreters + families to Ft Lee, VA, for time being, per two sources familiar w/situation, as it focuses on evacuating US personnel.

Unclear how long pause will last, but last flight for now left Kabul this evening: LINK

Not from me. This situation alone is why Gitmo was an abomination. You radicalize people against us even more, especially folks who are just on the periphery of groups like the Taliban and who are aligned with them simply because of the social safety net they provide.





The entire WOT strategy was so damn retarded. We pretty much lost in every theater, and groups who were our supposed enemies are still there, and stronger than they would have been absent any conflict. Serious-minded foreign policy columnists in Washington, with money from our 'friends', will tsk-tsk and insist upon the danger posed to us by all these boogeymen, but they are the ones who pose the most danger to regular Americans, sending young, decent people off to die or be maimed so some shithead prince in Riadyh can maybe sleep easier and continue to do the things that caused people to oppose them in the first place. It's so plainly obvious, so plainly dumb, and so plainly immoral I don't know how any of those fricks can sleep at night.

Biden's administration has been a complete failure, I can believe how awful they have been. Jimmy Carter looks like Reagan or FDR compared to this jackass.

Millions (or billions) of dollars make it very easy for them to do so.

We lost intel not only in Afghanistan, but likely in numerous critical areas because of this. Why would anyone trust us to inform and translate for us after this? Someone with experience I don’t have weigh in, but this feels like permanent damage to intelligence gathering going forward.

Normally no way. Under these circumstances who knows. It has around 180,000 pounds of Paulo’s capacity so weight wouldn’t be the issue. Room would be. I don’t think they would haul people standing up but maybe in this shitty scenario they are.

They’ll all be dead by the end of the week along with their families unless they decide to make them sex slaves.

If you look closely, youll see people still saying we should carpet bomb the place and then China if need be. They havent learned shite in 20 years.
