The new and improved Taliban look very much like the old Taliban. Although Blinken did say that the U.S sent them "some strongly worded letters" and that if they misbehave "they will receive international condemnation." So there is that. And there is also the fact that we are sending money and aid to them bigtime regardless of what they do. It is not like the lefty mouthy women in DC are going to say: "Whoa, why are we funding a regime that is committed to snuffing out women." Nope, those are words you will not hear. Taliban militants in Afghanistan have shot dead a policewoman in a provincial city, witnesses have told the BBC. The woman, named in local media as Banu Negar, was killed at the family home in front of relatives in Firozkoh, the capital of central Ghor province. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-58455826
Hard to believe that Joe did not manage to learn the executive etiquette for memorial events in 8 years of being VP. The man is just stupid. There is no way around it.
if Biden was following the Trump Afghanistan plan all he had to do was to call Trump to ask him about the details of how to complete the withdraw, instead Biden winged it and here we are
Trump had no plan everything he touches turns to shit eventually; several of us warned you that Biden would have to deal with the hangover once elected. Your buddy Trump is too busy trying to save his crumbling business empire, stay out of jail, and fighting mythical "election fraud".
Neither of them had an intelligent plan... COVID decisions should have been made by the medical professionals and Afghan decisions should have been made by the military and state department experts, not politicians caring about polls and soundbytes.
Not sure I believe all the horsefeathers being reported in media about the American and other evacuees in planes lined up and allegedly ready to go when the State Department gets past all the bureaucratic hurdles. Looks to me more like they are lined up and ready to go but the money has not been transferred yet. As I have said a couple times, "don't be surprised to learn that Hanoi John Kerry has NOT been working on climate change of late." C'MON John, you know from the Iranian hostage deal that they prefer Euros to dollars, you should have known that in advance. Idiot. Get with the program.
Pretty pathetic when Stolen Valor Blumenthal criticizes Biden. If Biden tells him that he should sit down and shut up, I am siding with Biden. That's right, you heard me. I WANT TO HEAR ABSOLUTELY ZERO FROM BLUMENTHAL. As the TRUE saying goes, "Jane Fonda spent more time in Vietnam than Blumenthal did." What the hell are the people in Connecticut thinking when they keep electing a piece of trash like that? Dem Sen. Blumenthal 'furious' over Biden admin delaying Americans trying to leave Afghanistan Democratic senator tears into Biden administration for stranding Americans citizens https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bl...-admin-delaying-americans-leaving-afghanistan
