When the handful of survivors from your home town are literally starving to death the only option is surrender. When the invader shows up with trucks of food and medicine peoples emotions are relief and gratitude. They tend to blame their previous government/leaders for causing all the suffering. There are entire books on the subject.

Well, I don't know about that. Not sure we had time to properly fold our flag before the inept Taliban run us off.

This is worst than the evacuation of Saigon, and it’s all on Biden who ran and hid in Camp David faster than the Afghan army ran. The whole world, especially our adversaries , are watching.

And many of the components were probably made in China ?

If I were king, Kabul would be rubble about now. However, if I were king, I wouldn't be worried to much about Afghanistan and would focus more on the invasion of my own country from the south.

I pray to God to somehow remove our destructive leadership. Plain and simple. I believe it to be in Gods hands now. There is talk of bringing Afghan refugees to Fort McCoy Wisconsin to house them. Getting them out is the next thing.

I doubt they crossed anything. More likely have been present in the general population the whole time, and simply stood up. Seems like the residents are not fighting them, but welcoming them. Not sure how what has taken place could have taken place without full knowledge and cooperation with nearly the entire population.

And also clear these guys operate from a different rule book than the one we used. They are much more ruthless. We took and held prisoners. They execute prisoners.

And lastly, wondering if the Biden bunch left those BLM and gay pride flags flying over the embassy?

It's sad to see the desperation in the civilians trying to flee this mess.
Videos of civilians storming the airports storming US planes trying to hitch a ride. People holding onto our sitting on various parts and ultimately falling off.

Regardless if tactics. When it come to come somewhere like that area unless your able to either A. Get the populous completely on your side and with the balls to fight for there or B. Complete and total ethnic cleansing to the point no one is lest what so ever your just going to keep having kids, wives , cousins ect of the slain picking up arms to avenge theirs


When did the Japanese avenge?


Well they did create the video games that are turning our youth to bums. Sneaky Japanese probably biding their time until the only guns Americans know how to shoot are the ones in Call of Duty, lol.

My thoughts from the start. To take the entire country in a day or so, they had lots of help from the population.

If they have so much support why are hoards of afghanis trying to get out of the country?


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Not hoards.......only a few thousand who were helping us. They don't get out, they are dead and they know it. Their families are dead and they know it.

BTW, not all of those who are seen running in front of those planes are trying to get on them. Some are clearly celebrating their departure.......or trying to block it.

Watching the video from Kabul, it’s all men storming the airplanes. The US should have trained and armed the women of Afghanistan.
It clear now that the our military leaders and pentagon officials have lied to us once again.

Joe, Kamala, Nancy, and Chuck should have impeachment charges brought against them. Get them one at a time. If nothing else, make life miserable for them as they did to Trump. It would be a fitting payback.

Won't be the first time. I wonder how many remember when the Cubans were housed there.

I don't have a problem with those that helped our service members over there being brought here, what I do have a problem with are those that don't have cajones to fight back and keep their country.

I wish the great leaders of the world would open their eyes and see that we infidels will never have true friends among the believers of Islam. It is a religion based on the fact [in their eyes ]that believers of Islam are superior to all nonbelievers ,and nonbelievers are actualy subhuman to be converted enslaved or exterminated . The ones that act like our friends would never actually stand up against the extreamist because they feel guilty that they are not as devout as the extremist .
