Taliban Taking Over Afghanistan - Does anyone care?

I think we are making a joke when we mention an easter egg parade. More realistically I think he would have trouble running a McDonalds.

Elections have consequences, stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.

Joe is crushing it

........ and not in a very "good" way as time moves forward.

What time will circle back Psaki speak today? Chinese state run media press conferences are more honest than the ones she has been having the last few days.

 

[Pacer92]

Even the JV team is taking advantage of Joe’s weakness..

 

[Matt2496]

Thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by the explosions, including the families of US soldiers maimed or killed.

Americans have been getting shot and blown up in Afg for 2 decades.

US and civilian casualities? To me that is cryptic. US soldiers or US civilians?

I bet the WH tells us this wasn’t the Taliban. They’ll blame ISIS and tell us the Taliban is handing out lollipops to children

You sound like a troll now.

We haven't had a US soldier casualty in 1 1/2 years. This should've been inevitable though given the situation.

now hearing hundreds of ISIS-K around the gates

And they'd likely be correct. Only one side has anything to gain with these bombings

Jen Psaski is getting her fresh, in the morning talking points, from them as we wait ...

What did I state that was untrue? I just find all this outrage to be very opportunistic

From BBC

The BBC's Secunder Kermani in Kabul: "Videos shared online show piles on piles of dead bodies, so expect the casualties figures to rise."

you don't see any difference between combat troops taking fire and civilians trying to flee and the military trying to help them getting killed?

seems you are trying to hard to find opportunistic outrage.

Some of it is opportunistic, but not unjustified. This withdrawal has been bungled and put civilians in danger.

 

[kiddiedoc]

I guess we forgot to say "pretty please?"

Even what you described isn't new. Civilians have been targeted and would be no matter when we finally chose to leave. Yes the pullout is a cluster but the handwringing is a bit overplayed imo

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

WH doesn't negotiate with terrorists but "it's an on-going communications with them" now.

 

[lukeneyland]

3 marines wounded according to what I’ve read. There blood is on Biden and his enablers hands. The rules of engagement we force these guys to fight under is absurd

 

[utvolpj]

Sure but which side does it fall on when compared to the casualties from the past 4-8yrs that haven't even been reported outside of DoD press release and a local paper

It seems this is the case.

It's put the military in more danger too. You know the old saying how people that don't know what they are doing on the field is going to get someone hurt.
