Rat, I am afraid there are those that are both laughing and wish for us to be exterminated...

A great comment in Yukon Johns link that is extremely relevant.
Just because one side quits and then thinks the war is over does not mean the war is over.
The theatre will come closer to home after a retreat,thats all.

I doubt China will get in there. The Chinese hate Turkic people and because of their treatment of Uyghurs I doubt the local Afghan tribes would allow much less trust Chinese on their lands.

I could see the Russians or even Americans making deals with the Taliban government in a few years. Look at our relationship with Communist Vietnam now.

I am not saying it was done right and I think Biden is a dangerous fool for plenty of reasons. We needed to leave--right or wrong, perfect or imperfect. And we have no moral right or obligation to now use nuclear weapons, MOABs, slingshots or anything else just because we do not like their "new" government--if there is no current threat to the U.S.

And, I am not going to shed one tear for the Afghans. Instead of chasing our planes, they should pick up a weapon if they do not want the Taliban.

Oh yeah, we have enough people. We do not need thousands of Afghans to immigrate here. Send them to Canada.

Yep.

Coulda, shoulda been handled way better. Couldn't have been handled any worse imo.

The Chinese are already building a road from Pakistan into Afghanistan.

Jimmy Carter is giving thanks for Biden's residency.

We need to get our soldiers out. If the beaurcrats are left behind maybe they'll stop supporting these prolonged wars interfering in the internal affairs of foreign countries with the goal of enrichment for a few.

Yes, Biden is worse than Carter. He is the worst President in U.S. history. Always on the wrong side of foreign policy. Over forty years in the senate and two terms as VP with a no accomplisment record. Now he has dementia and being propped up by others. They pull the strings and the puppet jumps. His own party is now turning on him. He has done mote damage to the US than any other president.
Why was he elected:, because of the hated for Trump, not because of his qualities.

He wasn't.

The creep blames everyone else but himself.He should be be removed as he is incapable to perform his job.

What President goes on vacation without any advisors when your going to make probably the biggest military move of your Presidency?

Where's the VP?

Where's his press secretary? (also on vacation)

You can't make this up and to think ....well I better not say it.

They used a stock photo. See how the time is circled on that one? It's because the times were wrong. 2 hour difference between London and Moscow. It's been a 3 hour difference since March.

I believe that, he probably wasn't even briefed on it until they marched him out to read the speech yesterday. Then they sent him back on vacation.

Haha. When the election was over, I told my family the only person that was happier than Joe Biden was Jimmy Carter's mother, because he would no longer be the worst president in US history.

That's right. Massive fraud to get to this point. Along with horrible cooperation , and shying away from taking the bull by the horns from in office Republicans , SC and others.

Just like Mark Levin says...." they are using the Constitution to break the Constitution. "

Nope.... Still 2 hours apart.

Could be worse-he could have been watching looney toons on the tv.

Or actually the one in charge.

If that was the case he'd be looking at a mirror. Not a TV !
