And amazingly, no one is more secure. Seems that maybe some of the funders should start fighting themselves if their security is worth all this.

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.

All of this.

CNN is saying 4,000 Embassy employees are still in Afghanistan. No word on how many are still at the Embassy, if any.

I’ve been reading the thread enough to see your laughable crusade against “whatabouts” for the last several pages.

I’ve been reading the thread to see you failing at trying to stop any and everyone saying I told you so because “it does nothing to solve this problem.”

Go frick yourself. These are the tactics and behaviors the people you support have used for years. You voted for them. Now that the people you support are running things, you want unity and rational discussion? No.

Biden's administration has been a complete failure


Because his administration is focused so much on social reform, the economy is struggling, the Southern border has been lost and now this fiasco.

Normally no way. Under these circumstances who knows. It has around 180,000 pounds


I have my doubts....even if they had a way to half the internal height with some type of two level seat system I think they would cube out a C-17 before 800 pax could fit.

Had to be a horrible flight either way. No way to use the latrine....people just shitting/pissing/throwing up in place since they cant move.

Again, none of that is helpful RIGHT NOW, when there are thousands of Americans still there that we have to figure out how to get out of there.


Hey dipshit, this is a message board. No one on here has the power or ability to do anything about this. We are going to discuss different aspects of the situation and make observations on the things that led us here. Quit bleeding out of your vagina and trying to play hall monitor in the thread.

I've always wanted that. I also voted for Trump in 2016.

ETA: I've actually only ever voted for the presidential winner:

2004: Bush
2008: Obama
2012: No one, I was pissed at Obama
2016: Trump
2020: Biden

And I am very unhappy with Biden right now.

It would have taken 5 minutes to get as many A380s from Emirates or Etihad or Qatar as we needed to get these people out a week ago when shite started hitting the fan.

Our entire government is useless.

And Eric Weinstein just lights into Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell:

quote:

“…must do everything we can to protect women and girls…”

Maybe, just say nothing? Or retire. A lot of unspeakable things are just about to happen to those women & girls, and the men who fought for them.

At this point: just leave the stage. Take @LeaderMcConnell w you. And go.

We are abandoning girls. We’re leaving them to their fates. Let’s not pretend otherwise. It makes it worse. Like there was never any point.

I understand something of why we are leaving. What I don’t understand is why we are leaving like this: surprised and in seeming delusion.
