I was thinking about this earlier too lol. Who the F is gonna recognize them as a government? Lets think about this for a second. Governments... they do things... like foster businesses, etc. Ya know, to provide for their country. Now what commercial airline is gonna fly into Kabul International in the course of a routine flight schedule? Or how about FedEx or UPS? Right. Better yet.... what country is gonna let that plane land when it leaves? The f'n Taliban is running their TSA.... f'n laughable. SNL could make a great skit on that one.
Americans trapped behind enemy lines and at grave risk. Response from conservatives on the forum: What can we do to get them out of there? Response from lefterrhoids on the forum: When are we going to get to see Trump's tax returns? Situation normal.
Can you spell CHINA boys and girls? Pakistan will too unless they are still getting U.S. aid. Otherwise they will wait until they get all the aid they can, then stick it up our bo-bo.
Joe thinks he is going to start talking about vaccinations, masks etcetera on Monday. It will take him a short time to realize he is out of political capital and his administration is now a single-issue regime. I seriously doubt any of the titanic pork bills are going anywhere. Who is going to take a vax now produced by a government that can't tell the truth about what it had for breakfast? Not me, that is certain. I took the first two and feel like I was suckered. Thats enough of that nonsense.
Yeh. Once people are on the rag, and I know I am over this thing, all the other little indignities become larger in their mind. Example. Giving illegals free plane rides, housing and care, and bus rides to wherever they need to go BUT then charging American citizens $2000 for a plane ride that they may not even live to take because their government abandoned them. Just shakin' my haid. First to the left, then to the right, then left, right, left right. That ain't right. What's next? Having to pay the State Department to ship the body home.
Boo hoo, the Afghan allies left behind! Biden is so terrible! Now the right is saying they don't want those Afghans here.
Joe Biden doesn't evoke the fear necessary for government entities to stay in line and do their jobs so we're seeing one ludicrous proposition after another being trotted out and then walked back like the $2k fee. There is absolutely no message control in a government without strong central leadership and some fear of consequences. So much of the really dumb stuff is coming from the Department of State that I've personally concluded that they are the main dysfunctional element here. State literally contradicted the President hours after his speech. State misinformed the President about the prospect for collapse. State caused Bagram to be closed and Kabul airport to be used instead. There are a lot of bad actors involved but the Department of State is looking diabolical.
it's only important to fox outraged viewers. The initial withdrawal planning was botched but moving along w/o American casualties so far.
Again, show me proof our troops left war-making equipment behind on higher command's orders? I've seen plenty of photos of equipment left behind, but my first assumption isn't our guys, but those that laid down their weapons w/o a fight.
