Isn't this exactly what the critics warned Biden would happen?

Yes. Leaving needed to happen but there were a few things that could have been done differently based on various right wing conspiracy theorists have mentioned. But you know we have all the crazy ideas until the oppositions ideas are implemented and destabilize the world.

One of the biggest things that brought us to where we are was the way the hoax collusion targeted Erik prince and general Flynn. Both sounded the alarm early about Afghanistan and would have been world better then the clowns we have.

Obama and his cronies destroyed the country.

Dear god can we cue up the lecturers posts on having democratic norms back in the White House?

I’m so ****ing glad someone isn’t mean tweeting. Good for the Afghan women.

Clown show. All of these idiot leftists. Clowns.

[thethe]

Remember when we had a leader that didn’t need to be prepped for a week to speak to the American People?

Democratic norms....

It's impressive how someone can consistently be wrong about everything

[thethe]

If we don’t put a hard close on the southern border now we will pay form it in ten years.

We all know what this joke of a regime is going to do though.

[thethe]

These are the people we have running the most powerful nation in the world.

What idiots vote for this?

Hahaha.

You konw what he's talkign about when he says "american servers" right?

[cajunrevenge]

You dont know Pearl Harbors history. They knew it was coming. If Japan didnt do it they would have blown up the empire state building as a false flag to go to war.

One more quick dunk on thethe, sharing a tweet of a guy quoting his own post on his own blog.

Afghanistan is a rat’s nest that Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden share blame for. This troop withdrawal seems oddly executed, but I have a tough time seeing these takes that out the onus of blame on Biden.

It’s so sad what’s about to happen to women and homosexuals in that region. I do think these sort of travesties are a global issue that every free nation as a part in policing, but I don’t think I am clever enough to provide a suggestion for how that policing should take place.

Depressing.

Definitely the worst take I have seen the last two days is “how can the US police human rights when we have our own problems at home?”

I promise you every single reasonable person in these countries would give their life to provide their family the opportunity to live in poverty in the US.

I agree whole heartedly with your second paragraph. Wish more people see it like you and I do.

I dont see what the first and second paragraph have to do with each other. Would poor people in poor countries prefer to be poor in the richest country on Earth? Duh, but it has little to do with human rights.



We may not he the worst but we are far from the model for human rights. We incarcerate people at a higher rate than any country on Earth outside of ones like North Korea where we dont have reliable data. Our rate is 5 times higher than the world average. I know you wont agree but the war on drugs launched by the US and forced onto other countries is a holocaust in slow motion.

No, when was that? Just because Trump didnt use it doesnt mean he didnt need it.

[cajunrevenge]

Literally the dumbest thing you’ve said.

Glad you agree. This is the logic you use all the time. Member your "gotcha" post about Pelosi and election audits. That's literally the same as saying MAGA wanted to leave and Biden left so they can't complain. I love when you insult yourself.

[thethe]

This is what weak leadership brings.

The world knows we have an illegitimate feckless regime running the country.

If this is what we allow in Afghanistan then what happens when the ccp annexes Taiwan?

Stolen elections have consequences.

[thethe]

Anyone know where our “President” is?

A rudderless ship. Get anyone up on the stage at this point. Embarrassing beyond belief. Dark time for America.

[thethe]

This is what happens when you don’t prioritize results on the field.

Democratic norms.....

I think people have a tendency to forget why we went into Afghanistan in the first place. They want to lump it in with Iraq and call it American Imperialism or some kine of neo-con exercise. But it's important to remember that the Taliban were harboring Al Qaeda who had committed the most heinous terrorist attack on the US in history. Nearly 3,000 people were killed, mostly American civilians. Toppling the Taliban was the right choice.

It's just a shame things have been bungled ever since. This pullout is the crowning failure that has been our utter failure in handling Afghanistan.
