Trump’s agreement with the Taliban for troop drawdown and eventual exodus were conditional. Biden had every opportunity to change the direction and timelines of our withdrawal as the Taliban were not keeping their side of the agreement. He was even advised by his intelligence to do just that, instead “he” chose the hurried withdrawal that caused the mess we are facing today. Most agree that we should be out, it’s the way we pulled out, leaving people behind, is what is troubling. That is all on Biden. Edit, the fact that he was so wrong on his assessment of the situation speaks volumes on his inability to govern.
A passionate plea for sure that falls on deaf ears. This government of ours is a fucking disgrace and has been for better than fifty fucking years. We left hundreds of thousands to be slaughtered in Vietnam in the very same fashion we abandon the Afghan people. We told them comfortable lies for years and years while the war machine profits went through the roof and these pieces of shit in congress had something to endlessly campaign about. They make me sick with their fucking little flags on their lapels, their phoney patriotism, and empty promises. 800,000 Vietnamese entered the ocean, "the boat people, tens of thousands drowned and were murdered along the way in their journey to escape the certain death that they faced staying in their country. Hundreds of thousands who stayed behind were slaughtered by the North Vietnamese army. We lied to them, we lied to the Afgans. No one should ever trust this government, ever, in any situation about anything. These no good motherfuckers watch people die by the millions and you stupid fucking retards think they're concerned about your health. Wake the fuck up. Whatever horrible shit is down the road for America, we got it coming. One day it's going to be our turn in the barrel and the world will watch this country of fucking self centered ingrates suffer and die. They hate us for our freedom?? No, they hate us because we live in fucking paradise and act as if we're suffering some horrible existence. They hate us because we're exploiting liars who use people for our own amusement and never ending greed. They hate us for who we really are, not what we say we are. In the end people as individuals or collectively are judged by their actions, not their rosey words, and our actions are abominable.
Like I say, the losers don't get to set conditions. All you're saying is that if the Taliban didn't do things our way then we stay. What, another 20 years?
Angela Merkel shares responsibility for 'widespread' Afghanistan misjudgment ahead of Biden comments https://theweek.com/world/1003790/a...r-widespread-afghanistan-misjudgment-ahead-of German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke out on Monday regarding the rapidly-deteriorating situation in Afghanistan, where the Taliban have seized near-total control. Her comments came ahead of President Biden's, which are scheduled for later Monday afternoon. "We have all, and I also take responsibility for this, misjudged the situation," said Merkel, per German news outlet Deutsche Welle. "We had a wrong assessment of the situation, and that is not just a wrong German assessment, but it is widespread," she added. The "breathtaking speed" with which the Taliban have advanced is particularly "bitter, dramatic, and awful" for "the millions of Afghans" who "counted on the support of the Western countries when it comes to democracy, education, women's rights," she continued, perThe Washington Post. The chancellor also called for a thorough analysis of what went wrong, and vowed to support refugees in neighboring countries like Pakistan so as to not repeat the 2015 migrant crisis, report the PostandReuters. She implored other western countries to do the same. Earlier Monday, during a closed-door party meeting, Merkel reportedly told colleagues that Germany must "urgently" evacuate up to 10,000 people from Afghanistan, and warned that the "fallout from the conflict will last for a very long time," writesReuters. "We are witnessing difficult times," Merkel reportedly said. "Now we must focus on the rescue mission."
The most damning condemnation of our government and it's failures you're going to hear. Hate the messenger, of course, will be the response, but the truth is the truth regardless of who speaks it, and this is the truth. Tucker: We are led by buffoons, everything they touch turns to chaos - YouTube

Well... I think I understand how you feel. I would just say "Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity". This was just pure unadulterated incompetence. And to be fair it was the profound incompetence of a small group of men rather than a whole party. Joe Biden is a combination of stupidity and dishonesty. I knew that when I rushed home every night to watch the Thomas hearings back in the day. You don't get much slimier and stupid than Joe Biden. So imagine my horror watching the guy cheat an election and become President. And now look at this huge steaming pile of shit on the carpet. There will be more folly before this guy has an aneurysm. This is what you can expect from career politicians.
