Taliban Taking Over Afghanistan - Does anyone care?

[InVOLuntary]

Me. I've said that with a small footprint, we can/did prevent bad things from happening.

I'm not sure that's achievable. Too small and you get ran over.

 

[Septic]

This is what our VP was doing this weekend .... GET VACCINATED .......

What's wrong with that?

You suddenly have a soft spot for the Afghans too?

 

[calban]

This is not about Trump. Come into today's world. This is all on your boy Biden. Own it.

BS. It's about our misguided philosophy of Nation Building. War is Big Money.

I was mocking the source. The guy is a complete hack.

How would that work? You stay there with a small footprint forever?

Who in the hell thinks everything in Afghanistan is "all well and good" right now?

 

[Septic]

I wonder if the Russian's ripped their government for getting the f*** out of that cesspool as jovially as the American's are?

We only had a few thousand troops there and I don't believe any of them had been killed this year.

Doubtful, considering they probably didn’t want to see the inside of Lubyanka prison or a work camp in Siberia.

No. The Soviet run state media declared a glorious victory for communism and the average peasant was none the wiser.

One day soon enough these low-life Democratic scumbags will be exposed as "Frauds".

What do you mean 'will be'? The problem is their hatred of the orange man will allow them to watch the country burn to the ground before admitting what incompetent fools they have running the place. President DeSantis/Trump are going to have to un**** a real mess.

That’s dumb as hell. Its clear the Afghans have never intended to fight for their country so our “small footprint” would be there to work with the Taliban? Pure stupidity. Had we done that there’s just as good a chance as any that we would be looking at another Iranian Embassy Hostage situation.

Oh hell, Biden is in trouble if Tapper isn't carrying his water.

You should probably hop on Twitter and defend her tweet there too. Because she’s getting roasted as bad there in replies as she is here

This I can agree with. We don't need a tweet to know this.

Can you imagine how many tweets we'll get about cousins, uncles and aunties but it's like any other social media. Some may be asking for prayers.

This is Trump's negotiated peace deal with the Taliban in action. Not sure how you can say he doesn't bear partial responsibility for the deal he crafted.

 

[Weezy]

I'm sorry her cousins were born into a society that has no value for them. There is nothing we can do to fix that. Keeping our military there was not an option.

So she's getting roasted by rando's on twitter for suggesting people to get vaccinated during the worst part of a global pandemic.

Gotcha.

Yes, clearly that's not something an elected leader would want to address. I see that now.

Sometimes I think folks are so hell bent on dunking that they lose any modicum of rational perspective.

Biden threw out that deal remember.

It's not about getting out, that needed to happen. It's about leaving our people in harms way with no protection. It's about the failure of the top military brass and the intelligence community failing to report accurate information about what is actually going on. It's about a situation of giving up weaponry to our enemy and now further putting our servicemen and women in harms way to fix this mess.
